It’s a Dance … (continued)

Being effective requires you be present, listening for what is important to your colleagues, for what might be holding them back, and what they need to move forward.  Thus, 

• You will learn “pure” coaching
• In practice, coaching is a skill to draw on as needed in a variety of situations, and
• The process may be used in full or in part and mixed with Win-Win

TIP* 111: Versatility of Coaching.

Here we focus on teaching you pure coaching, i.e., asking questions at every step and following the process start to finish, but the Coaching model can be used in full or in part, as the situation requires.  Coaching is a versatile skill to draw on anytime you wish to create focus and clarity and make progress toward outcomes. 

TIP 112: Be Intentional To Get Best Results.

You can use Win-Win and Coaching in whole and in part to get the best results.   “Best results” can vary depending on the circumstances.  In general, best results mean that those involved have done their best thinking, devised a strategy that meets the most important goals, and each person knows exactly what he or she has to do to move forward.  They are very different techniques, yet both require presence and intention.
