What if You Listened More & Talked Less? The Top Skills of Transformative Coaching.

Hi ITA listeners,  

Are you a professional advice-giver? What if you could be even more helpful to colleagues, friends, or family in a different way?  

 Last week we talked about a critical skill you’re going to want to spend some time honing- coaching.  

There’s been so much buzz lately about the importance of coaching in leadership across many industries and fields. But through studying coaching and becoming certified, we’ve found many are confused about what it is and how to do it.  As Jackie so simply put it:

“...no gap, no coaching.”

Meaning if someone is content where they are, there’s no need to coach. But if there is a gap between where someone is now and where they want to be, you can bring coaching skills to support their development and action.   

The good news? You don’t have to be a fully trained coach to do what we’re going to teach you. 

In this episode, we’re sharing some of the key skills of coaching coupled with a live demo of a real topic to round out the experience. If you haven’t tuned in yet, here are 4 things you’ll explore:  

• The differences between mentoring, teaching, giving advice or feedback, consulting, therapy, and coaching.  
• The top skills and beliefs of a coach.    
• Situations where you can show up with more coaching skills (even if you haven’t been officially trained).  
• Why so many people find value in coaching and how it can improve your relationships.    

In our demo, we’ll show you what a powerful but short coaching conversation can sound like. And we’ll give you the top 3 skills you can start working on today!
