Leadership Coaching - Chapter 4

The Heart of a Coach

If you truly believe in a person, great questions and excellent listening technique will make that empowering belief shine through in your conversations.

As coaches, we consciously choose to interact with our clients in terms of their destiny, not their problem.

If i have the faith to coach a person, i believe that i can take my hands off that individual life and God will step in and do something incredible.

Listening is believing in people

Read through the gospels and highlight all of Jesus questions.

What is coaching- Part II

focus on future potential

"How much time would feel like enough?"

"What was different xxxxx ?"

"How does xxxxx affect your yyyy? "

"So, what's bothering you the most?"

The coach is leveraging the client's discernment to identify and solve the problem.

Ask, don't tell.

A solution developed by the client is much more likely to fit the client's capabilities, needs and circumstances than one developed by the coach.

As a coach, your job is to create an environment for free exploration.

"What else could you do?"

"Can you think of any other options?"

"On a scale of one to ten, how likely is it?"

"What's most important for you between xxx and yyy ?"

You are not responsible for the client's outcome.

Leadership Coaching - Chapter 1

What is Coaching

Coaching is Relationship-Based, Goal-Driven and Client-Centered.

The client set the agenda.

Your own insight is much more powerful than my advise.

"Sounds like a great solution. So is that a step you are going to take?"

"Sounds like you really made some progress!"

repeated affirmation

Coaching is a support structure for change.

Coaching is about focusing forward, not about fixing the past.

Coach pushes the client to set goals and take action to solve the problem on her own, focusing on creating a better future.

Don't set any goals you aren't going to meet

Being motivated to make a change is more important than knowing what change to make.
