How many ways can you coach someone?

Colleagues,

MVP: There are different forms of coaching for different people and situations.

Coaching takes many forms, but I divide it into four basic types:

1. Directive: The coach takes the lead and is explicit in telling someone what and how to do something.
2. Collaborative: The coach and coachee take turns leading and work together to help the coachee grow and overcome issues.
3. Reflective: The coachee leads and the coach’s primary role is to ask good questions to help the coachee reflect deeply.
4. Transformative: The coach helps the coachee to view some aspect of the world through a different lens or perspective, which transforms how the coachee approaches things.

Reflective coaching is the simplest, but it requires us to be fully present, to listen, and to refrain from speaking (for the most part).

If YOU are in need of coaching, consider hiring me as your coach. I offer affordable group coaching as well as two levels of one-on-one coaching. You can find out more by emailing me or visiting my coaching page.

Today’s intention: This week, think about who could benefit from which form of coaching.

Cheers!
