Coaching Skills
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Make sure the coach and employee are ready (frame of mind) to be coached.
Ask for feedback and open ended questions (i.e. How do you think the meeting went?)
Allow the employee to come to their own conclusions and validate their perspective. Coaching is suggesting not making the decision for the employee
The course is very good; it will help me better communicate with my peers during their evaluations.
I learned we must seizwe the moment and observe the coachee's closely to assess their strenghts and areas of opportunity that would merit coaching opportunities.
The most important thing I have learned is that there is a time for coaching and a time for feedback. Coaching is deeply important and should be a large part of what a good leader should do daily.
I've gained a deeper understanding of the importance of active listening, powerful questioning, and goal setting in supporting others' growth.
This module showed me better ways to coach my team
Coaching and peer coaching requires identifying areas of improvement, guiding individuals to work on themselves and to keep a positive mindset on areas to work on.
learning how to coach in order to connect and promote reaching goals
Coaching is process involving active listening, timely feedback, and discerning when to give directives versus coaching. When enhancing listening skills you can then know when the process can best be implemented.
Coaching is a great way to motivate and to gain trust in your employees without being so negative
I am excited to implement some of the strategies I learned. I like the idea of giving specific feedback with a job well done instead of just assuming they know what parts were done well. I also am excited to implement more of "these are the behaviors I am observing and this is how they are negatively affecting the team. How can I help in this situation?"
The way in which we present our feedback is critically important for successful coaching sessions. If we aren't careful with our words, we might put the employee on the defensive which automatically voids the benefits of any subsequent message we try to deliver.
The reflection questions and asking those to your direct report to help them uncover where they are at and the next steps instead of directly telling them their next steps, I think this will be largely beneficial.
I have learn how to ask questions to provide feedback at the same time, that are also constructive
Understanding when to coach is just as important as understanding how to coach. Coaching requires the utilization of emotional intelligence.
Very beneficial, learn how to connect with my team
Coaching can be important to building a positive, supportive environment in which people are open to feedback and growing. Listening is just as important as speaking and be sure to follow-up.
Coaching skills are very important as they can help bring the best out of us all, including the coach.
Be prepared and ready to coach.
Be a good listener - allow the other person to speak 90% of the time.
Ask questions that allow for reflection.
