  • Use coaching to improve focus - Keep your eye on the... Picture the scene, imagine I was coaching you on something as straightforward as catching a ball. We might conclude that keeping your eye on the ball would be a useful quality to bring to the task. Let's consider four ways I might try to help you do that. 1. "Watch the ball!" 2. "Are you watching the ball?" 3. "Why aren't you watching the ball?" 4. "What are you most aware of as the ball comes towards you?" Let's consider the impact of these.
  • oaching Skills Training: What docoaches need to know about - Coaches need to know about coaching and coaches also need to know about the situations and problems faced by their coachees. But which is more important and which can have the greater impact on our chances of success? Let's see. Subject Matter Expertise There is still some debate around whether coaches need a detailed knowledge of the matter in hand or underlying subject in order to be able to coach another person effectively. Many would contend that we can't coach without subject matter expertise; how can we give advice or guidance or show another what to do.

  • 3 steps to linking coaching sessions - When you have a follow up coaching session with somebody you've worked with previously, it can be hard to pick up the flow. I like to use the Achievements, Issues, Plans model to help with this. Start by considering achievements, i.e. what has been accomplished since you last spoke. Remember that even if every goal was not achieved in full, any kind of momentum needs to be encouraged and recognized. This can be a great way of raising confidence and of course, confident people tend to make high performers. Confidence is a product of being successful and knowing that we were responsible for those successes. Let your coachee be the one to define what an achievement is. Then you can move on to issues. An issue is anything that has cropped up since you last spoke that has prevented agreed actions being carried.
  • Coaching Skills Training: How to listen effectively - If we're going to put so much effort into framing coaching questions in the right way then it follows that we should be equally concerned with really listening to the responses we get. We need to employ the skill of active listening. Listening happens at 3 levels: Active Conversational Superficial The bottom level, Superficial, is what we do when we're hearing but not listening. We might have a conversation at a party trying to take an interest in what another guest is saying but really having our attention elsewhere, perhaps on some other conversation we suspect would be far more interesting.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Asking Questions - The coaching approach requires that we help the people we coach to find their own solutions in their own way. Asking questions does this in a way that giving advice or instructions could never do. When we ask questions, we encourage our coachee to think.Without questions we do their thinking for them. In coaching the best type of questions are those that probe for a deeper than typical response. We are thus better off asking open rather than closed questions.
  • Coaching the nervous speaker - Of all the arenas at work in which we might apply our coaching skills, helping people present in public seems to be amongst the most common. Many of the managers I train as coaches ask me how best to go about coaching their people through this experience.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Communication and Coaching Part 3 - If you've read my first two articles in this series you'll know that I've so farf examined six communication styles and the relative advantages and disadvantages of each: Tells, Sells, Tests, Consults, Joins and Delegates So how does all this relate to coaching and where would we place coaching on the spectrum. Many contend that since coaching is about generating ownership and responsibility, it must be somewhere close to delegation.

  • Coaching Skills Training:How to decide when to coach - In my work training managers to transform motivation through coaching, I am often asked how long coaching sessions should last and how often they should take place. To me that's a question that belongs up there with how long is a piece of string? We do know how extremely flexible a tool coaching is and that there are a great many ways to use it to good effect. Typically coaching is prearranged for a specific date and time the coach and the individual normally retire to a separate area and conduct the coaching in a fairly formal setting. Once again, provided the underlying principles of coaching are followed, this can be extremely effective.
  • The Neuro Linguistic Programming Coaching Model – A Tool For Coaches - Neuro Linguistic Programming is a great tool for use in personal coaching, business coaching and life coaching. The question is, how do we use Neurolinguistic Programming NLP in a coaching environment? In fact, neurolinguistic programming NLP is a very natural tool for use in coaching because it relies on a very simple model for personal change. This is a model which is used by anyone who enjoyed personal change, self improvement, etc, and by innumerable coaches everywhere.
  • Coaching at speed - Coaching sessions can be arranged on a spectrum. At one end we can place what we might think of as 'official' coaching. A quiet room, soft chairs, softer lighting and the time necessary to explore issues in depth.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Coaching & Communication Part 1 - Let's cut to the chase: Coaches communicate; this is their skill and art. Managers who coach need to use their existing knowledge and skills to become similarly artful communicators. If we start by considering coaching as merely one type of communication we can see how it fits with the more general approaches to communication that most of us already employ. Here we'll consider six communication styles that differ in terms of the level of control exercised by manager and team member respectively.
  • Bet you can't coach me! - A coaching skills training course delegate was recently explaining his frustration at the lack of interest and motivation his staff were showing when being coached. He explained that the normal reaction to being coached was for his staff to cross their arms, lean back in their chairs and adopt an almost 'bet you can't coach me!' attitude. No doubt these same people would leave the coaching conversation thinking 'See. I've won. You can't coach me!' How sad. I suggested that he adopt a less well known coaching tool called Transposing to help him work this through.
  • Coaching Skills Training: The three principles of coaching - Coaching starts with a healthy regard for the potential of the people whom we coach. Such beliefs are demonstrated by the three main things coaches do in the sessions they conduct. Firstly they concentrate wholly on the people they coach in order to raise their levels of awareness. Secondly they use encouragement and support to make sure that the people they coach take responsibility for moving their own issues forward.
  • Is "MLM Coaching" A Waste Of Money? - MLM Coaching seems to be gaining in popularity over the past few years. I think this is sad, very sad. When I get a request at our office for coaching, it tells me that somebody has an upline that should be ashamed!
  • Why You Might Be The Next Greatest Business Coach - There’s no doubt that the field of business coaching has exploded in recent years. With more and more people starting their own businesses, and executives working longer and more hectic hours, the need for an objective expert to help stop the insanity is growing. People want to do business and succeed at it, but they also want balance in their lives. They want to do what they love and spend time with their family. Not too much to ask, right? This is where business coaching comes in.
  • Coaching Skills Training: How do we treat abnormal psychology? - "Respect the power of coaching questions" is one of the first learning points that I cover with the managers I train as coaches. I go on to explain that they must recognize the possibility that what starts as coaching around a simple, work related issue, may lead to the unveiling of a more significant problem. In my view, coaching managers should develop at least a little psychological awareness.
  • A philosophy of coaching - We cannot prove human nature; we can only form our own view. One of the most accessible pieces of theory on this point was provided by McGregor when he described the idea that managers view their people in two main categories. These he labelled Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X People are lazy and dislike work People must be coerced or threatened with punishment People avoid responsibility People are motivated mainly by money Theory Y Work is a natural part of life People will exercise self direction People accept responsibility under the right conditions People are motivated by achievement, recognition, etc.
  • Can we argue against introducing coaching? - Despite the compelling reasons we might offer for introducing coaching we can expect to encounter many barriers. We need to understand what the barriers are and how we might help others develop their understanding of coaching so that these barriers may be removed. "We've got enough on our plate as it is." Most organizations these days seem to be working at the edge of chaos. Change is abundant and managers are rightly worried that one more change will prove to be 'the straw that breaks the camels back'. Viewed in this way, coaching - as just the latest stand-alone initiative - is bound to take a back seat. But coaching should not be seen in this way.
  • The basics of coaching - The word coach has a variety of meanings. Is it a bus or a coach or a railway carriage? Is it a tutor or a teacher or a sports trainer? With so many definitions is it any wonder that coaching at work is the subject of so much confusion? To receive 'coaching' and to be a 'coach' are both very popular terms right now but they are both widley misunderstood.
  • What if coaching uncovers signs of depression? - Good coaching is a process of asking provocative questions and listening attentively to the response, but responses can be suprising. We may set off talking about time management or assertiveness issues and quickly find ourselves talking about more significant psychological conditions.Coaching managers would be advised to develop at least a little insight into the signs of abnormal psychology. Depression, for example, is a widespread disorder which about 10% of men and 20% of women can expect to suffer at some time in their lives.

  • Nlp Coaching Goal Setting For Success At New Year Resolutions - This article is about the many different ways we can trip ourselves up in setting goals, particularly with New Year Resolutions and what you can do to change. Many people evaluate their lives and set new patterns around the New Year. There are several ways that this can deliberately set you up to fail.

  • Training Management: Employees Will Appreciate It - All who have spoken to a hiring manager has heard the complaint that good people are just too hard to find. The secret is that the reason for this isn't that there aren't any good people.
  • Training Management: Change Is A Constant In This World - Everyone who's spoken to a hiring manager has heard the complaint that good people are just too hard to find. The secret is that the reason for this isn't that there aren't any good people. There are plenty of highly skilled and qualified employees in the workforce. They just don't go on the market - they're just too darned happy where they are. A big part of the reason for this is that they didn't necessarily start out as highly skilled and qualified, but were brought to that level through competent business and management coaching. Many CEO's have a Harvard MBA, but below the CEO level a large percentage of management started out at the bottom working their way up.
  • Competence Management : Understanding It, Implementing It - Competence management may be a relatively new word in human resources, but with the advantages and implications that it has brought about, more and more companies are seeking for professional help to achieve their goals.

  • Coaching Skills Training: Working with coaching questions - Any acronym like the Coaching ARROW or GROW is useful only insofar as it helps us remember the underlying principles. They are not intended to suggest that asking questions in sequence is all there is to effective coaching. In the same way musicians are taught to consider the value of the notes they do NOT play, coaches need to be taught that there are times when certain questions would do more harm than good. Trainee coaches are often given lists of example questions when they are first being taught - I provide them on a handout. But I'm always at pains to stress that they are ONLY examples.
  • Alcoholism and coaching - Sometimes the problems and situations around which we coach at work are analogous with an iceberg: what appears on the surface is far from the whole concern and it may be that what lies beneath is more significant. Whilst I would never advise dabbling in amateur psychotherapy I do feel it wise that managers develop at least some degree of awareness around the main psychological problems that can be creating difficulties at work. Consider for example, alcoholism and drug addiction.
  • Executive Coaching A Sucessful Venture - More and more companies are finding that executive coaching can help communication in the office. A business coach fulfils much the same purpose as a personal coach.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Coaching that uncovers Personality Disorders - Coaching questions are powerful things and I always tell the managers I train as coaches to respect that power.

The most effective coaching managers are always keen to develop at least a little psychological awareness.
  • Haven’t Heard Of Internet Coaching Before? - Many people know how to create a web site, but believe it or not, they have absolutely no idea about how to promote the web site they have created. Internet coaching teaches people how to promote their web sites, or to direct them in the paths of advertising techniques and the use of keywords. Not to mention the idea of generating traffic to the website won’t be in vain, how to make the web site effective and make those who are visitors to the web site potential customers. Most of the time if creators of web sites don’t get some kind of assistance the web sites that are created by an individual, may not last very long.
  • Grow as a Coach - Lessons to Learn - Growing as a coach is about taking on board lessons from as many places as you can: You can take on board lessons from your past experience. This will help you to see what patterns have got you where you are today. What your beliefs are, and how they impact on the way you coach. What motivates you, and what you have done well in the past, will give you some ideas of where your future strengths may be. You can take on lessons from other coaches. You can read their blogs, find out what they have been doing and what seems to be successful for them.
  • Make Big Bucks as a Business Coach - You may have heard of them - they’re the people who swoop into large companies and small businesses alike, transforming them into profitable, exciting, and motivating places to work.

You may need to explain that you're looking at ways to improve motivation and that the starting point is getting a better idea of what makes them tick.
  • Why Coaching and why now? - We have had coaching behaviours as long as we've had people in organisations, but it is only recently that they have been given that label. In the last few years the term coaching has entered the management lexicon and become seen as an integral part of the successful deployment of people at work.
  • Coaching Skills Training - The Coaching ARROW - Creating Options - We now need to help our coachees think through the various options they have in dealing with their issues and moving towards their aims. The biggest danger here is to just settle for the first idea that comes to mind.
