Coaching
Coaching can be used to great effect at many different touch points in our work life, as a professional relationship which facilitates learning, performance, and development of people. It is about improving effectiveness and achieving results, with a focus on measurable steps of growth and success.
The role of the coach is to facilitate this through active listening and questioning within a professional relationship of trust, safety, and challenge. The coach does not advise, tell or influence, it is based on the premise that each person has all the answers to their questions and the resources to achieve their outcomes. The role of the coach is to facilitate the coachee in gaining clarity, setting goals, assessing their own resources and taking action.
The need for coaching should be identified in partnership with your line manager as part of your regular development conversations or DAR process.
