“What do you see as the greatest challenge
of providing coaching in the organizational
setting? What about the greatest joy?”
Simon Foster
United Kingdom
“... when you have to work within
a pre-agreed formula...”
The greatest challenge for me is when you
have to work within a pre-agreed formula; for
example, offering a set number of sessions or
using a company-wide psychometric tool. For
procurement and budget purposes, businesses
often need to standardize what they offer their
senior employees, but sometimes the individual
needs something different—a quick call here,
a face-to-face session there, a Skype call when
they are traveling.
The greatest joy is when the person you are
coaching has that “aha” moment when things fall
into place; they suddenly see through the mist
and the way ahead is clear.
