A very simple Coaching Strategy will help your clients achieve what they think are impossible outcomes.
Here are some of the Coaching Strategies to transform your clients:
1. Know your client
2. Clarify the goal
3. Strategize action
4. Responsibility
5. Celebrate each step
Let’s take a look at each of the steps in detail.
1. KNOW YOUR CLIENT:
Learn about your client’s strengths and weaknesses; what they excel at and what challenges them; what motivates them and what they find discouraging.
2. CREATE OBJECTIVES AND GOALS:
Clearly defining objectives and goals is virtually impossible without strategic planning. Define your client objectives and goals. Start with big-picture thinking and encourage the client to discuss and brainstorm ways to meet your big-picture goals.
3. STRATEGIZE THE ACTION STEPS FOR ACHIEVING THE GOAL:
The next step in the coaching strategy is to work with your clients and create a plan to achieve their goals. Develop a timeline that includes milestones and benchmarks to help you assess your client’s progress and success.
4. YOUR COACHING STRATEGY MUST INCLUDE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR CLIENT:
Hold your client accountable for each step along the way to their goal. Keep track of their commitments and make sure they stick to them. Being responsible for their actions will make your client feel empowered by their progress. This will result in your client gaining important confidence in their ability to reach their goal with each action step they complete successfully.
5. CELEBRATE EACH STEP TOWARDS THE GOAL:
Acknowledging and celebrating every step your client takes on the way to his goal is one of the best ways to keep your client on track, motivated, and inspired. Celebrating success is a powerful tool for motivation and confidence.
Using these Coaching Strategies, “Impossible goals are being achieved every day”. Use this strategy with your coaching clients and watch how quickly they achieve their goals.
