Episode notes
Coaching Is Conversation, Not Correction
- Coaching should be about creating conversations that lead to durable change, not correcting people briefly.
- Use structured interventions to move someone from problem state to long-term buy-in and resolution.
Connect Before You Coach
- Connect with the person before coaching to build trust and increase receptivity.
- Prioritize a personal relationship and credibility before delivering corrective feedback.
Lead With Questions, Not Lectures
- Avoid immediately telling; lead with inquiry to draw out the coachee's thinking and ownership.
- Transfer critical thinking so the individual owns the solution rather than passively receiving directions.
