Notes de l'éditeur

  1. For many people, coaching is often confused with teaching. Teaching involves one person “telling” another everything they know. It is often associated with lectures, schools, sitting passively soaking up and remembering a lot of facts and figures.   Today, this is not coaching.   Coaching is about letting the other person, (the coachee) identify his or her own level of performance, to learn for themselves what they can and can’t do. It is about encouraging the coachee to establish his or her own targets and goals. It is about giving them the opportunity and the sounding board to work out the best option for themselves.   Some say that the hardest part of coaching is “holding back and not giving the answer, even though you are convinced you have the best solution…”
  2. Exercise: groups working together to create flip chart with these headers – what are the characteristics of Is/Is Not and experience of Good/Bad (and down right ugly). Answers can include personal experiences, real or hypothetical scenarios. Observe groups for examples to reference through out the day or to relate stories to bring the session to life. Write up answers on flipchart at front of room (or tape to wall) so it remain as a reference point for the training session. This exercise allows delegates to build rapport with each other, gain knowledge, share experiences and tips. Training session leader can gauge the level of understanding and experience in the room.
  3. So we have talked about what coaching is/is not. What are the benefits of coaching compared with job instruction? Depending on level of experience lead dicussion or tell them what the benefits are (next three slides detail benefits to the organisations, coachee and coach)
  4. Coaching principles: discussion or ask group to read, comment or add to these.
  5. Now we have looked at what it is/is not and the benefits, we can try a couple of simple models. Hand out the Coaching Handbook as a reference.
  6. Why GROW? Easily understood Straightforward to apply Thorough. In addition, once you have an understanding of how it works, it is possible to apply it to an amazing variety of issues in a very effective way. Helps focus on breaking the complex problem into achievable smaller goals
  7. Why give feedback? Constructive feedback provided skillfully opens the way to a relationship that is built on trust, honesty, and genuine concern, leading to personal learning and growth Constructive and meaningful feedback is: tough on issues – not on people immediate /given at an appropriate time and place specific and not woolly about solutions – not blame not about dumping anger something the receiver can act upon and change of benefit to the receiver and not the giver more often positive than negative Verifiable Boosts confidence Be clear about the positive outcome that you want to achieve and state this outcome and topic to open the discussion State observations, not interpretations Use ‘ I ’ messages Be specific – otherwise you are just providing praise or criticism Avoid "need to" phrases, which send implied messages that something that didn't go well – feedback is feedback, not advice Be direct – get to the point and avoid beating around the bush Be sincere and avoid giving mixed messages – avoid the ‘yes....but’ messages Give the feedback person-to-person, not through messengers of technology Consider tone and body language – remember we communicate more by what we are not saying In real-time – as soon as possible ASAR – as soon as reasonable Location Emotion When you are ready/prepared Frequently – build a feedback culture
  8. Its not just about GIVING feedback!
  9. Discuss some the preparations we as coaches should take/consider when entering into a coaching contract / session. Anything to expand on add to this list? Real life examples / stories are helpful to bring these to life. Personal to the training leader are best as they are genuine and give credibility.
  10. The most important skill a coach can have!!
  11. What are they really tying to tell me? Inferences are essential to both written and spoken communication. People may hint at what they mean, and mean much more than they actually seem to say. On the other hand, we can see the danger (and temptation) of assuming facts or interpretations for which evidence is not present is open to many possible interpretations.
  12. Exercise in pairs to demonstrate the challenges faced when actively listening.
  13. Reminder of what type of questions to use in the coaching listening exercise. Describe the type of questions each of these categories cover. Delegates can refer to the Coaching Handbook which has examples of questions for those not experienced in using questioning techniques.
  14. At the end of exercise, bring the group back together. Ask the room for their observations on the exercise, learning points, what they did / did not enjoy. Write up on flipchart. These can be typed up and issued with PDF slides after session as notes from the day. Ask the group to consider, From today what will you be doing differently tomorrow in your coaching relationships?
  15. This has been an introduction to coaching and a few models to use. As you develop as a coach its worth considering further skills in NLP, understanding behaviours and motivation and having a coach of your own! Coaching is not just about getting people through a process; its about supporting people appropriately to find answers and develop personally and professionally.
