TIPS 4 THE COACH (Part 8c) Get Your FREE Coaching/NLP Coaching Articles Visit http://coachingmedia.blogspot.com Framing the Coaching Process. When coaching a team, assess early whose input is critical for the group's success and whose is less so. Follow up throughout the project with all, but if deadlines are missed or problems arise, you'll know where to focus your greatest efforts--on the important contributors. (Kaye Vivian) There is no single way to coach all the people in all situations. In this list and in various books on coaching you will come across inconsistent and contradictory tips. Instead of asking yourself, "Which tip is right?" or "Which tip is better?" ask yourself, "Under what situations and with what types of coachees will this tip produce useful results?" This will help you become a more flexible, versatile, and adaptive coach. (ST) Be sure that everyone in a group you are coaching has an assigned task, with a deadline and a deliverable. Provide a structure for the overall project, but then stand back and make yourself available to answer questions or be a cheerleader, as needed. (Kaye Vivian) The coach of a group should avoid taking on any of the tasks needed to accomplish the project. By staying outside the tactical execution, the coach can stay objective and help the other team members to achieve their goals...and the overall goal. (Kaye Vivian) Encourage peer coaching. At the end of a training workshop, invite participants to find a partner for implementation activities. Set up a system for these peer coaches to encourage, support, motivate, assist, console, and collaborate with each other. (ST) C.O.A.C.H. stands for these five steps: Connecting with the coachee. Observing his or her job performance. Assessing the performance to select a high-ROI area for coaching. Conversing with the coachee about performance-improvement ideas. Honing the coachee's competencies. Your job as a coach is not complete until you have completed all these steps. (Gabrielle) Remember the line from "The Philadelphia Story" (Kathryn Hepburn says it): "The best time to make up your mind about people is NEVER." (Alain)
