“The art of creating an environment, through conversation
and a way of being, that facilitates the process by which a person
can move toward desired goals in a fulfilling manner.”
Timothy Gallwey in The Inner Game of Work
Classic coaching involves the coach seeing all the differences between what is and what should be and then works at getting the two to match. In other words, I will tell you what you should and shouldn’t do! So in this world change is viewed as moving from bad to good defined by someone other than the person making the change.
Toward Coaching Mastery
The way I practice coaching is far removed from this or our stereotypical models of sports coaches. If I coach with a client, the coaching is integrated into the physical training sessions, not independent and separate. This means coaching is often brief but focused.
“A coach is a magician of change who takes the cards
you have and helps you play your hand better or sometimes to change the
rules of the game, or find a better game”
Joseph O’Connor in Coaching with NLP
Via honest, safe and confidential communication my coaching is characterised by the following:
- You explore how you can get from where you are now to where you want to be?
- Your coaching is built on action and doing,
- You spend little or no time in the past and focus on exploring the magic of what lies ahead.
