The Art of Effective Coaching

What five elements compose effective coaching?

Ensure your coachee is comfortable.
Incorporate your own success stories.
Ask coachee for input.
Show appreciation.
Give feedback appropriately.

To what other guidelines must coaches adhere?

Base opinions and ideas on observable facts. Never make up data. Present honest,
accurate information. And consider opinions with an open mind.
Be discreet. Coachees expect privacy. Don't talk about their performance shortcomings or
other inadequacies with others.
Provide continuing recognition. Employees are more likely to continue to improve when
they receive ongoing recognition.
