The Coaching Conversation Framework

As a leader, do you find that your coaching tends to just be all over the place that it's hit and miss, you're not quite sure, and you get together with the person you're coaching, and you don't feel like you actually make any headway?

Hi, this is Grant Herbert, emotional intelligence speaker and trainer of the year and master coach trainer. And today, I want to continue our conversation around coaching and mentoring others by helping you get much more value for you and the person you're coaching in your coaching relationship and the sessions you have together by unpacking for you the coaching conversation framework.

In this week's episode, let me unpack for you the elements of a great coaching conversation.

1. Define the challenge.

2. Determine the outcome.

3. Generate some options.

4. Choose a strategy.

5. Equip them with resources.

6. Anchor their plan.

By using this framework and adopting that in your coaching and then adapting any of the languages that I've used to suit what it is that you're doing is going to mean that you're going to take your coachee from where they are to where they want to go.

They're going to see wins and results along the way. They're going to feel more confident that it's beneficial for them. And it's going to mean that both of you know exactly who you need to be and what you need to do in every session together.

Over this month, we've talked about coaching and mentoring others. We've looked at many aspects within that, and I've given you some key areas that you can focus on to go and start a coaching relationship with the people in your team.

You can move away from performance review to coaching and developing your team and taking them on a journey of incremental change, where they feel better about themselves and their relationship with you.

And through that collaboration, your relationship is built even stronger and you both have a mutually beneficial time together, and you both see the rewards of that.

Well, that's it from me for another week. Join me again next week as we jump into a new competency in relationship management, and we talk about ways of building trust.

I'll see you then.
