Coaching can provide the capacity to think and feel differently. Agility can help you switch gears more easily. If you only drive a car in second gear, what happens? It burns out the engine.
-
Greater awareness leads to more effective leadership. Coaching provides honest and rigorous feedback. It helps you to rethink options, assumptions, own your strengths and navigate your weaknesses. As a leader you ask people to do difficult tasks, so you need to be able to reciprocate.
-
The four agilities are:
-
Self-awareness – able to have in-depth awareness of your emotions and manage them
-
Empathy – able to deeply empathize with other stakeholders’ perspectives, feeling and needs
-
Framing – able to reframe an issue or problem in terms of stakeholders’ interest, timing, and strategy
-
Innovation – able to transform change and problems into valuable results
-
-
Questions a good coach might ask:
-
What’s on your mind?
-
And what else?
-
What’s the real challenge here for you?
-
What do you want?
-
What are your goals?
-
What is the right mindset to accomplish those goals?
-
How do we get the most out of our time together?
-
-
You have the answer – not the coach. Accountability is important, and you need to be responsible for the discussion. It’s important to feel heard (empathy). Realize what you bring to the situation (self-awareness). Think how you might reconsider (framing).
