Self Directed Learning
We learn better when we discover things for ourselves. We like to create
our own solutions rather than be told what to do. When a child learns to walk,
all it needs is encouragement, not instruction. There is no blame in coaching;
the client is likely to learn more from the actions they have not completed than
those that they have.
Structure
Having a framework sets
us free to use our creative powers and our intuition.
Challenge
We like to be challenged and stretched in a supportive environment.
Coaches challenge their clients and move them forward
Positive feedback
Positive feedback builds confidence and makes us want to do more.
Client Led
The coach is in charge of the process, and the
client is in charge of the content. If coaches get sucked into the content they
are no longer helping the client. Good coaching is useful to the client rather
than interesting to the coach.
Forward Focused
When
we dwell on a problem, it gets bigger. When we focus on the solution, the problem
becomes manageable and we find more energy to deal with it
