Your team members are dissatisfied with the coaching program. How can you address their needs effectively?

If a team is demonstrating dissatisfaction in the coaching progranne, this should be celebrated! For team members feel safe enough to share their dissatisfactions openly, this means there's great foundation for open conversations in the team which could be leveraged to improve the collective team journey ahead. Having regular 'check-in' points throughout the team coaching journey will not only ensures all voices are heard about how the coaching can better respond to people's concerns, but further- it provides a crucial opportunity for reflection about what has been working and what isn't. It's an opportunity for the team to develop their strengths whilst coming together to co-create next steps to make the experience even more impactful.

To address dissatisfaction with the coaching program, first, gather specific feedback from team members to understand their concerns. Analyze this feedback to identify common issues and adjust the program accordingly. Communicate any changes clearly to the team, ensuring they know their feedback is valued. Provide additional support if needed and regularly check in to monitor progress and make further improvements. This approach ensures the coaching program better meets your team’s needs and enhances their overall experience.

N?o há como melhorar um programa, seja qual for, se n?o houver uma escuta ativa e honesta em rela??o aos feed-backs. Um programa de coaching que n?o atende as expectativas de todos é inócuo, canso de ver programas de prateleira sendo introduzidos nas organiza??es por puro modismo, sem levar em conta as reais necessidades do time.

Tive a oportunidade de ser o coaching de um programa mundial da Saint-Gobain para a América do Sul chamado Procurement Methodology within Santi-Gobain. Um ponto que levei em considera??o entre todas as turmas as quais ministrei o curso, foi o de entender a percep??o de cada turma e assim apliquei as melhorias a cada turma subsequente. N?o dá para aplicar um treinamento desenvolvido em outro continente, sem levar os aspectos culturais, anseios e necessidades de cada turma.

A key element that would need to be addressed is how the coach contracts with the team. Understanding their needs and objectives clearly, and aligning the expectations of the wider organisation should bring positive results. Checking in to their outcomes regularly is vital to keep everything aligned and on track.

Always see this as an opportunity. Turning dissatisfaction into engagement can be achieved by co-creating the coaching program. Involving team members in defining the coaching objectives and methods not only addresses their specific needs, but also increases buy-in. For example, by conducting collaborative workshops, the team can personalize the coaching content and set realistic goals. In a recent experiment, this approach was shown to result in more active participation and measurable improvements in program effectiveness. Co-creation not only fine-tunes the program, but also empowers the team, reflecting a truly human-centered approach to organizational development.

Identify and Address Underlying Issues Analyze the feedback to identify root causes of dissatisfaction, such as inadequate coaching styles, lack of clear goals, or insufficient support. Develop strategies to address these underlying issues and communicate changes to the team.

?? A thorough assessment can only take place when we are honest in our personal assessment -- at all levels. The truth hurts and can be very very very painful. ??vWithout honesty, no assessment can be thorough. All will be futile as we can chop the branches. But the rotten roots continue to grow, corrupt, and contaminate. Toxic negativity hurts and harms the very best who will either choose to retire in silence or leave. ?? A leader's primary responsibility is to create an environment where every voice freely communicates, creates, and collaborates. And only then will we have a conducive environment to coach and be coached. It's always a dynamic, multi-way learning and not just top-down hierarchical, or bottom-up. It is a global conduct.

Deep and dynamic personalization is crucial to meeting the needs of an unsatisfied workforce. Micro-coaching, with short sessions tailored to daily demands, can be an effective solution. By implementing micro-coaching sessions, as demonstrated in a technology organization, the team received ongoing support aligned with their work pace. This not only improved engagement but also the integration of new skills into daily life. The flexibility of micro-coaching offers a fine-tuning of cognitive development, providing support that evolves with the needs of the team and the organization.

Involve Team Members in Program Development Empower team members to contribute to the coaching program's design and implementation. This will ensure the program aligns with their needs and expectations. Encourage them to take ownership and provide feedback throughout the process.

After gathering feedback, I've found that assessing the coaching program by comparing initial expectations with actual outcomes can be very helpful. It involves identifying gaps in content, delivery, and relevance. Ensuring that the coaching style matches your team's learning preferences and the pace allows for skill integration. This evaluation helps pinpoint necessary adjustments for improvement.

Regularly Reassess and Iterate Action: Frequently check in on the effectiveness of the program and remain flexible in making necessary adjustments. Outcome: Keeps the coaching program dynamic and responsive to changing needs. By actively listening, personalizing content, and providing actionable learning, you can turn dissatisfaction into motivation and create a more effective coaching environment. Action: Share findings with the team transparently. Explain what you’ve learned from their feedback and how you plan to address it. Outcome: Clear communication builds trust. By openly discussing the next steps, you show that their input is taken seriously, strengthening their commitment to the process.

I think it’s also important to get feedback about what’s working and areas of need to effectively create programming. Evaluate all feedback and execute accordingly.

Provide Coaching Options and Flexibility Offer various coaching styles, formats, and frequencies to cater to different learning preferences and needs. Provide flexible scheduling to accommodate diverse schedules and work styles.

1. Implement Changes Action: Tailor the coaching program to meet individual needs, focus on practical, real-world applications, and adjust the delivery method if necessary. Outcome: Quick, relevant changes show responsiveness. Team members will be more engaged when they see that the program now aligns with their personal growth and day-to-day work. 2. Evaluate Progress Action: Establish clear metrics for success and regularly evaluate the effectiveness of the changes. Use both qualitative and quantitative data (surveys, performance metrics, etc.). Outcome: Continuous evaluation ensures the program remains relevant and effective. Regular progress reviews also give you the flexibility to make iterative adjustments.

First, I would listen to gain understanding of what the problem is. I would ask questions to learn how they want things to go differently and why. Then, I’d ask how they’re contributing to the problem. And then ask who they need to be and what they need to do for the problem to no longer be a problem.

Key Outcomes of Fostering Growth: Increased Engagement: Team members who see their development as a priority are more engaged in their work. Enhanced Performance: With tailored coaching, real-world application, and leadership development, overall team performance improves. Retention of Top Talent: A focus on growth reduces turnover as employees feel valued and see long-term opportunities within the company. Continuous Improvement: A growth-focused culture nurtures innovation and agility, ensuring the company stays competitive and adaptable to change. By embedding growth into the DNA of your coaching program, you're not just addressing immediate dissatisfaction—you’re creating an environment where your team can thrive over the long term.

Understanding the team's psyche and level of performance all coaching programs should be localised in terms of the delivery of content and even international content has to be recast to suit the local thought process and reality. Moreover all coaching should be tied to achieving clear cut objectives and there should be an agility perspective to the coaching which means that the content and delivery should be more dynamic.

Here's the thing, the opportunity is in the beginning to have the members define what they want out of the coaching program. If this goes really well, what happened? If you align the coaching program to what the particpants want out of the program that can be powerful. The members have all the power. They can choose to make it a waste of time or the best time they ever spent, but that's true everywhere in life. So have them really choose to lean in, be vulnerable, share and get everything out of the program they can. You have to be willing to address what comes up during your program and invite in disagreement - not to fix it, but to be open and transparent and say what's so.

We foster growth by empowering people to use their voice. If individuals express dissatisfaction with the coaching program available to them, it is crucial to understand the reasons behind this sentiment. Often, there might be a disconnect between the client and the coach, impacting the effectiveness of the coaching relationship. Additionally, there might be a lack of clarity regarding the purpose and value of the coaching itself. By actively listening to feedback and addressing these issues, we can enhance the coaching experience, ensuring it aligns with the individual's needs and expectations, ultimately fostering their growth and development.
