We’ve been coaching corporate professionals for over 20 years, and we find that most managers already have good communication skills – but when you coach there are a few things on the subject of influence, feedback and listening that can make a big difference – and we hope they’ll be --- not just useful to you --- but interesting in themselves.
Observation skills, listening skills, some actual questions to use, and a deeper look at the subject of feedback - so important to a coach – they’re all covered in the 7 Keys. And they’re applicable in every part of your life.
Coaching is all about helping the individual express and achieve their own goal – but the very first thing you need to do BEFORE you begin your coaching sessions is figure out YOUR OWN goal for the session and the coachee.
What do YOU want? We cover that in this lecture
Learn to manage your self before starting your coaching session.
We say ‘manage yourself’ -- because if you’re in a negative frame of mind, or If you’re tense, stressed, judgemental, concerned – your coachee is going to start experiencing those things, too.
Not a good state to start the coaching – they’ll have enough of their own apprehension and anticipation going on.
The way to get them in the state you want them, for ideal coaching – is BE in that state yourself.
Who needs coaching and who need teaching?
Before you start coaching - has the person had any training for the things that they or you want to improve?
You don’t hire an expensive tennis coach if you’ve never knocked a ball around on a tennis court a few times - and had the rules explained - and enjoy it somewhat – and have a real desire to be better at it.
Train first. Coach when there’s a level of expertise to improve upon. We cover that in this lecture.
