Episode notes
Effective Coaching with GROW
- Use the GROW model by asking learner-centric questions that empower the coachee to find their own solutions.
- Resist the urge to give advice; instead, facilitate others in discovering their own paths for greater long-term growth.
Encourage Self-Reliance
- When tempted to give advice, practice 'sitting on your hands' and ask, "If I wasn't here, what would you do?" to encourage self-reliance.
- This approach builds coaching muscles and speeds up future problem-solving abilities.
Collaborative Feedback Approach
- Share your observations as your perspective, not an absolute truth, and stay curious about the other person's viewpoint.
- Treat feedback as a collaborative conversation to foster learning and openness, not blame or accusation.
