1. The Basics: The Six Steps of Effective Coaching
The goal of the six steps of effective coaching is to understand the types of coaching needs and implement when applicable. To fulfill these coaching needs, I need to design a coaching style that fits the applicant. After applying this coaching style, I must evaluate how effective it was and areas that were weaker than others.
Step One: Build trust, rapport and partnership
The first step of effective coaching is building trust, rapport and partnership. To successfully create a bond with the person being coached and I, there is a procedure that I must follow. Before even coaching, I must understand the reasoning behind the individuals need for a coach. By knowing the reasoning, I am aware of what I need to do to help base my coaching upon that idea. After this point, it is mainly about creating a foundation of the relationship. It is better to look at the individual as a friend because the learning process helps strengthen both their motivation and the relationship. However, the way to become friends is by showing the individual the areas where I am weak and allowing them to express how they feel about the topic. Lastly, the main objective is to clearly specify the outcome of this experience and offer an incentive that both parties are satisfied. Anthony is a friend from my old high school. When I started going back to the gym, he saw me and asked if I could offer him help. With this opportunity, I helped Anthony with creating a five-day schedule, adjusting his diet and giving him the confidence to ensure he is committed. In regards to dependence, after I taught Anthony what to do, I was unable to work out with him as our schedules were conflicting. I still see Anthony once a week, but now, it is more personal and I am proud to say that he is more confident in his abilities. He even started teaching his other friends at the gym! Step Two: Identify and explore the key performance issues For the individual being coached, the second step is to address the question of what is holding them back. It is difficult for individuals to open up about their problems as it is a sensitive. My role in this situation is to start discussions on the issues and make the person as comfortable as possible. Keep my advice and opinion minimal until the person has realized the main root of their problem. If I do not feel satisfied with what the person believes their problem is, I must interfere and offer my perspective. However, my approach to engaging them must be inoffensive. With all the discussions, I have to document the individual’s …show more content…
There are many ways of determining when it is the right time to “let go.” The first way is to view if the individual is now implementing their newly developed skills in their everyday lives. Furthermore, their level of confidence allows me to judge how comfortable they are with the material taught. Another way is to offer opportunities where they are able to present their new learnings. From their success of presenting, it informs me how well I have taught the person and what they may need further help in. Lastly, I am required to finalize my decision of letting go through a reflection of my coaching. As I reflect on my coaching, I will seek for feedback on my ability of coaching from the individual and conclude whether I feel that I have …show more content…
Depending on the circumstances, emotions may be negative or positive. For example, if I won an award, my emotions will be positive, but in the perspective of those that could not win the award, they may be negative. The key is to help promote the positivity in each individual regardless of their situation. With coaching, there are times where the person may be negative and I need to solve this through positivity. By devoting my time to the individual, I am able to “read between the lines” and learn about problems that were not completely said. An issue for myself is managing my own emotions as at times I may lack positivity. During these times, I must spend my time alone to address the problem I have and let my friends
