Powerful Question: If I only noticed the creative, brilliant parts of my coachee, what would I have to let go of? COACHES MOTTO...

C= Competencies

Reflect active listening and understanding of the coachee’s perspective Evoke discovery, insight, commitment, or action Open-ended questions create greater clarity, possibility, or new learning Move the coachee toward what he/she desires, not justify or look backward

Get dumb and curious instead of taking the role of expert It’s not important what you know, it’s what the coachee knows You’re not responsible for their results

Each person at the table picks up a powerful question Partner with the person to your left Take turns asking your partner your powerful question Each person will have 2 minutes to respond The person asking the question will only listen

Designate someone at your table to be Ruben Follow the Competencies section of the COACH Model Spend 5 minutes selecting and asking Ruben 3 powerful questions Use the coaching questions handout as a guide Complete the Here And Now Section of the Strategizing For Success handout

Only when you know where you want to go can you find a route to get there. Dr. Howard Adams

O = Outcome

Partner with the person to your right Designate a person A and a person B Person A is the Observer Person B is making the changes Stand up back to back Person B makes 3 changes Face your partner Person A: What 3 changes did you observe? Repeat

Use the Outcome section of the COACH Model and the powerful questions examples Spend 5 minutes coaching Ruben in identifying his vision for his future Record the goals and outcomes on the There And Then section of the Strategizing For Success handout

A = Action

“Let not the fruit of action be your motive to action. Your business is with action alone, not with the fruit of the action.” Bhagavad-Gita

Use the Action section of the COACH Model Spend 5 minutes coaching Ruben using the powerful question examples to form action steps toward reaching his goals Complete The Gap section of the Strategizing For Success handout

CH = Checking

Ask Ruben if all the goals were met, and his vision for his future were realized, what one word would he use to describe how he feels Take Ruben’s word and write it on your pennant after the Equal sign What two things would have to happen for the Outcome in the Success Formula? Put those two words in the first two blanks on your pennant
