Four Steps to Confident CoachingWritten by David Wood
Continued from page 1 3. A Sounding Board Being able to talk about their issues lends clarity. Just discussing what has been clanging around their heads all week is valuable. Have you ever been trying to solve a problem and getting nowhere until you had a chance to talk about it with someone? You are giving your clients a chance to do that every week. 4. A Second Head You may be able to see what they are doing in a new light. You may have a different perspective allowing you to see their blind spots. Some things may be obvious to you, but don’t even occur to them. You might have different ideas they wouldn’t have had. * * * And these are just a few things you bring to table – before you even have any coach specific training. You can make a difference to people around you, you can put on hat of a coach if it calls to you, right now.

Continued from page 1 4.Work with a coach to build your practice. Some people skip Step 3 and jump straight to working with a coach to enter industry. People in this category are usually those with existing transferable skills (e.g. counselling, or a lot of personal development training), or people short on cash, and wanting to generate some revenue from coaching before they invest in a proper training course. A coach can help you avoid common mistakes, and build your practice faster, and with less effort than you would on your own. 5.What business systems do you need in place? Where will you find clients? How will you keep your clients? And how do you keep your chin up when you lose three in one day!? In future issues, we'll examine different training options, provide tips on selecting a mentor coach, discuss importance of accreditation, and publish interviews with new and experienced coaches.
