Coaching
Coaching to me is the guidance process to helping your staff be successful at their jobs or in their career goals. Mentoring and helping them become stable and maintain motivation.
LaMikka,
this is a great definition & good to remember to help our employees with the feedback they need.
Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
I like your approach! I tend to coach to the point of leading the person to solution so they feel they got there mostly on their own.
Richard,
yes & powerful questions are a great way to do this.
Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
I do this as well. Even though I want to just jump in and provide the answer or the solution, I know that that is not the best thing for my coachee. Just as I have to think through the process before I can resolve an issue, so do they, and I have to allow them time to this.
Lisa,
and by doing this you teach them how to direct themselves & in the long run this helps everyone.
Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
I feel we also need to be sensitive and humble in the way we help people (coaching) – situations at times can be more complex than we think
