the coaching scenario

The coaching scenario involves the identification of and agreement on the "coaching agenda", the identification of the gap(s) between current performance/circumstances and that which is desired with the performer then developing strategies with the assistance of the coach to close these gaps. A greater understanding of self and a sounder grasp of the forces acting outside and within the work environment together with the receipt of feedback from customers and colleagues are common elements of many coaching assignments.

Feedback and challenge are parts of the coach's tool kit. The frequency of interaction and the duration are situation specific. The chemistry between the coach and performer must be right for the learning, coaching, partnership and trust to take place.

The Coaching Experience

The coaching experience takes many forms and covers many requirements and is initiated for a variety of reasons. These include:

  performance issues
  change in job roles/responsibilities
  lack of strategic planning knowledge and skills
  stretching 'high potential'
  where interpersonal or team dysfunction occurs
  leading a change initiative
  managing a change process - (HR, Quality, Preventative Maintenance, Team-Base Measurement Systems, Customer Service, Performance Management and the like)
  change in the leadership styles required in the organisation
  creating a new team/taking over a different team
  learning how to become a coach
  merging of different cultures
  the very general to the quite specific 'how to's'
  any issue that has a current or potential future impact on the performer's performance
