Coaching is a cyclical process of enhancing the Performer's awareness of
'what is really going on'; guiding them to choose responsibility
for the actions they will take to achieve their personal goals and helping them to evaluate the
consequences.
It consists of:
- a
relationship between the Coach, as a facilitator, and the
Performer
- the Coach
having expertise in coaching
- allowing the Performer
to acknowledge their expertise in:
- their issue
- what motivates them
- their resources, capabilities
and any skills they need to develop
- the Coach
helping the Performer to:
- think more
effectively
- identify
what they want to happen
- identify
what needs to happen to achieve it
- creating new options
- choose
responsibility for actions
- evaluate
what happens
Performer
Centred Coaching is where the Coach only facilitates the
Performer and does NOT advise, instruct in solutions or make
suggestions. It is our experience that this is the most effective and
respectful way of helping people to both develop their skills
and enhance their self-confidence in order to take on new challenges. However,
once a Coach has mastered
this they can then develop the subtlety required to be able to
advise etc. without the Performer losing ownership for their issues
and choices of action. |
