from Business Problems Solved Podcast · host Lee Houghton
As always, Lee encourages you to think, feel and do in depth about the 3 things about Coaching. Take a close look at Coaching and it’s importance as a skill in all workplaces in all its variations as a method for developing people towards desirable goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Clarity of intent and destination. Coaching can only be attempted with a clear and definable goal to move towards. Prioritise questions and the thinking space rather than answers. It is a scale from consulting and providing answers through to creating a space to think. BEST MOMENTS ‘I believe we can only and should only coach when we have clarity of that destination. You need to truly have clarity of your intent in each of your interactions with your coachee and other people on the team.’ ’The more that you can make somebody think the more that they are developing their own thinking and their own answers to help them get to where they are trying to get to.’ ‘I don’t think our default as a coach is to provide options. It might be in the moment the thing that you think about to help the coachee move past whatever it is hinders them.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Business Problems Solved Podcast ABOUT THE HOST For the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams and businesses.
