Masterful Feedback for Coaches

The key to effective coaching lies in connecting with individuals and providing feedback and advice in an artful manner rather than simply trying to fix their problems. Avoiding the 'writing reflex' of identifying issues and presenting solutions is crucial as it can cause individuals to shut down. Coaches should aim to develop skills in connecting with people and offering feedback in a constructive and engaging way, steering clear of the tendency to force solutions upon them. Encouraging coaches to break away from this habit and explore alternative approaches is essential for their growth and effectiveness.
