Coaching 1-2-3

Coaching is a powerful tool for transforming lives, and unlocking the God-potential that lies in each of us. The coaching framework can be applied at work, home and in our social lives to help our colleagues, family members and friends be better, and achieve their goals. There are three distinct things about coaching that sets it apart from other performance focused interventions like training, counselling or mentoring, as follows: 1) Coaching is non-prescriptive: when you coach someone, you cannot be prescriptive or give direct advice to the person. if you have to give advice, you must clarify that the person need not take your advice, and that the ultimate decision lies with the coachee. Unlike trainers or consultants, coaches are not necessarily experts in a particular field. the coach's role is to help you reach your full potential without being prescriptive. 2) Coaching asks Powerful Questions. Coaching is all about asking questions that help people find themselves, and realize their potential. Great coaches ask stimulating and thought provoking questions like - Where do you see yourself in 3 years? How can you describe top performance, etc. 3) Coaching inspires us to think: We often want others to think for us and solve our problems for us. Coaching recognizes the God potential in us all and challenges us to think and spend time thinking. To learn more about coaching, go to www.learningimpactng.com
