Coaching Challenge: Breaking Old Habits

• Coachees may fall back into old practices when in the "heat of
the battle."

• Tip: Help the coachee use "cues" such as counting to three or

taking a deep breath.

Coaching Challenge: Lack of Motivation or Commitment

• Coachees may not succeed the first time they try new
behaviors, and this can be demotivating.

• Tip: Schedule regular check-ins with the coachee to keep

the momentum going.

Challenge: Ongoing Performance Issues

• Sometimes performance issues aren't flagged early enough

and, despite the coaching effort, the coachee still cannot do the
job.

• Tip: Consider will and skill. If the coachee has the skill but not
the will, use motivation and encouragement. If there is will but
not skill, training may be a solution.
