A good coaching session is about more than just complaints or chit chat. “Coaching sessions are not just to have a feel-good moment,” says Daniel. “They are intended to focus on action and follow up.”
In this week’s episode, Daniel and Peter demystify a typical coaching session. They discuss some of the questions they typically ask, the common way they begin many sessions, and the importance of both behavior change and mindset shift.
Tune in to learn:
- The one thing a coachee should do to optimize a coaching session
- The one thing a coachee should do right after a coaching session
- The value of a retainer model in hiring an outside coach
Through a typical structure that’s flexible enough to allow for the needs of the moment, great coaching can lead to sustained change and maximum leadership effectiveness.
Plus, more insights from Gallup about common leader blind spots, and three tips on how to best recognize direct reports.
