Coaching Conversations in 2025

Send us a textThis three-step strategy helps leaders facilitate positive movement towards high integrity and character that often people can lose during a time of a crisis. This does not mean people lack character it's just that they lose sight of it especially during the crisis when stress and anxiety can be high. Here is that three-step process:  1)      Ask Questions- when asking questions such as the self-actualized question “What will you do positively two... fill in the blank “ - this prompts people to think and frame out the responses to be positive which ultimately assists in the process of changing their behavior and mentality. 2)     Use Reflection Strategically - Ask questions and provide time to reflect. Literally ask people questions and tell them you do not want an answer just now rather you want to give them ample time to truly think about a thoughtful and professional response. Time and reflection are absolute awesome tools to facilitate self-awareness and professional development of conversations. 3)      Use Journaling- ask people to journal positive thoughts and observations during this time of crisis which helps fuel their own mind and develop a mechanism to regain and or rebuild their character during these crises driven times. If interested Progress Coaching provides a whole line of products in Journal based coaching that are perfect during these tumultuous times - click here for more information: click hereWelcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a textIf the pandemic crisis has taught us anything it's that change is here and it's here to stay. How do we help our people change? What are the steps to facilitate change? Here's a brief overview of how to coach to the three levels of change: Effort - the first stage of change is a person's effort. If we acknowledge and reward each person's effort they will move in the direction of the second stage which is progress. If people are at the effort stage and all they hear is constructive feedback human nature is going to cause them to potentially quit or produce less effort. Progress-the second stage of change is a person's progress. This is where the coach needs to pinpoint and acknowledge specific areas of progress so people know what to continue to produce in terms of effort as well as realize where they are indeed improving. If progress is acknowledged and pinpointed people will move in the direction of the third stage results. Results-results need to be predictable and sustainable in the way this is achieved is by always acknowledging and nurturing a person's effort and progress; therefore, results become more predictable and achievable on an ongoing basis.On July 16th at 11:00 am cst we are doing a webcast workshop on coaching to the new normal.

Send us a textThings have changed dramatically. Leaders expectations have changed. Employees motivation levels have changed. This podcast teaches a very specific methodology of how to take the expectations of the leader and the goals of the employee and combine them into a cooperative coaching relationship serving both parties interests. Again, things have changed dramatically as we talk about the new normal we also have to remember each and every employee has probably been greatly altered by recent circumstances; therefore, it's incumbent upon us as leaders to revisit each and every employees goals as well as our own expectations of those employees.On July 16 at 11 AM we will be doing a live workshop Coaching to the NEW NORMAL ("The Coaching Starter") teaching the methodology of both of these assessment tools that serve both the leader and the employee in a cooperative manner. Here's a link to register: click hereDuring this workshop we will be teaching the following:SOAR Assessment - this assessment is where the manager lists out using the acronym of SOAR employees strengths, opportunities to improve, actions needed to facilitate improvement, and responsibility they seek from their employee to communicate successes and barriers to progress.GOAL Assessment - the employee completes the goal assessment. GOAL stands for great, opportunity, actions, and love. The employee will list out what they need to be great at, the opportunities afforded to them if they become great, the actions required to improve, and what they will love about achieving their goals. We teach how to interpret these results into a cooperative coaching plan serving both parties interests in creating a maximum opportunity for both parties to work together and achieve cooperative and individual results.Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a text This podcast will teach a very insightful lesson on how to coach to these three types of people on your team and within your organization.There are three types of employees in an organization. Here's a simplistic view of those employee types:Dedicated influencers- dedicated influencers find a way and seek ways to help the team and the organization as well as their teammates on a daily basis. They go above and beyond the call of duty seeking ways to push the organization and the team forward.Doers- doers are exactly what they sound like, they do their job and often do it fairly well meeting core requirements. When around detractors they will not join them nor will they find ways to join the dedicated influencers, often succumbing to what is expected nothing more and nothing less.Detractors- detractors are people who simply find ways to pull people back. We call these people bleacher people, people who sit in the bleachers and often complain about the people in the field on how they're performing or what they're doing without ever really truly getting on the field to join them.Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a textWe have clearly stop listening to one another and I think the major reason is were not talking directly to each other. We tend to talk to other people or through social media outlets. We have to go to the source and to have one major objective at the forefront of all of our minds: to have a thoughtful and considerate conversation. If our objective is emotional with a desire to convince somebody that they are wrong or why you are right this typically ends in an argument. There is so much divide right now in the world it's starting to creep into the workplace and if we stop teaching and facilitating skills that lend itself to professional and thoughtful conversations things could get worse.Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.
