1. GCC Coaching Training
October 27, 2017

2. Goals
I will understand the difference between facilitative and directive coaching.
I will apply facilitative and directive coaching strategies to real coaching struggles in a modified ‘Problem of Practice’

3. Writing into the day! Describe a positive experience around coaching.
Describe a struggle you having around coaching (please provide specific details).

4. Facilitative Coaching – guides, helps, and pulls the client’s learning
Cathartic Approach allows the client to release and express emotions.
Catalytic Approach is a stimulus to change. It is most useful to help another person to reflect, work through feelings and thoughts, and learn for his/her self.
Supportive Approach allows us to provide confirmation, offer encouragement, and help our client maintain focus and motivation.

5. Directive Coaching – pushes your client’s thinking; provides a stronger nudge to change mental models, mind-sets or our values and beliefs
Confrontational Approach – can raise awareness, challenge the client’s assumptions, or stimulate awareness of beliefs, behavior, or being.
Informative Approach – a coach imparts knowledge and information. (Release responsibility gradually but as soon as possible.)
Prescriptive Approach – a coach gives directions, recommendations, or advise; we direct behavior-not beliefs or being. It is appropriate when the client lacks confidence, is unable to direct own learning,
