Here's how you can optimize communication in a business coaching relationship using feedback loops.

Os principais erros em uma escuta ativa: 1) Supor que sabemos o que é bom para o outro: Quantas vezes tentamos adivinhar o que é bom para o outro ? Qual sua necessidade, o que lhe deixa feliz ou mesmo qual é sua expectativa ? Nos baseamos em nossa experiência pessoal ou em presun??es para tomar decis?es que afetam clientes internos e externos. 2) Ser especialista: Quando nosso servi?o exige uma consultoria para o cliente nos colocamos na condi??o de especialistas e subjugamos o desejo do cliente. 3) Estar "armado" de respostas: Quantas vezes vamos para um reuni?o já pensando nas possíveis respostas e obje??es do cliente e nos armamos de contra-argumentos para defender o nosso ponto de vista ? Essas s?o apenas algumas das dificuldades

Three constructive feedback strategies: Regular check-ins: Schedule regular sessions to openly discuss progress, challenges, and areas for improvement, allowing for constructive feedback and improved communication. Two-way feedback: Encourage both coach and coachee to provide input and insights, fostering a collaborative environment and optimizing communication in the coaching relationship. Feedback surveys/forms: Utilize anonymous feedback surveys or forms to gather input on coaching sessions and communication dynamics, enabling the coach to make necessary adjustments for improved communication.

atmosphere matters - hold your sessions in somewhere that is quiet, light and comfortable. No one wants to discuss openly and honestly if there are chances of interruptions, people staring through glass working past or a poorly lit atmosphere. Find somewhere comfortable with right temperature and atmosphere. If it is virtual , follow same protocol in setting a good scene with comfortable rapport building and setting of expectations. Trust is crucial in providing support or else the real challenges and the way a client feels will just be surface level. Listen well, ask the right questions and be supportive. Your client is why you are there , not for yourself , so be non judgemental and dig deep into a strong emotional connection.

Two way communication is a part of any healthy relationship an within a coaching environment , a coach must actively seek feedback to ensure client is getting what they need out of the coaching sessions. Any good coach will want to improve, will want to understand what is working and what needs improvement . Giving the space and the opportunity for the client to give feedback also adds to their armoury of being comfortable in articulating how they feel about things, how they think about what they need and learning to articulate clarity around their goals.

Here is one aspect not talk about a lot in academia to consider. We all say we are different but then when it comes to communication, or leadership we don’t invest time in our natural way to approach problem solving. Our natural modus operandi is defined through our conative strengths. Not understanding that consciously or unconsciously, communication is complicated. Let me explain one aspect of it. In communication we all need to gather information. Some folks need detailed information some just a summary or some specifics. If we don’t know that about them, we build stressful communication where it is not needed. Some are extremely visual whereas some need hands on, again in the case I may frustrate myself and others if I don’t know that.
