WHAT TO EXPECT FROM COACHING
Coaching is customized professional development that aims to improve performance in the immediate future. The coach’s role is to offer creative activities and powerful questions to amplify and guide your employee’s own discovery skills.
Think of coaching as professionally facilitated, self-guided enhancement.
They’ll come with a topic in mind that they’d like to focus on in the session or series of sessions. This can be free for them to choose, or you may offer guidance for what to focus on. The topic in a single session might be something they’re stuck on and want to overcome, it might be related to a challenging person or situation, or it might relate to a goal. The coach’s job is to hold their agenda and support them in a way that will help them move forward.
