4.

Action
Support the coachee in choosing a way ahead and deciding
the next step(s).

Review
- Close the intervention: reinforce the ground covered,
discussions made and value added.
- Encourage feedback from the coachee on what was helpful
about the coaching process, what was difficult and what
they would like to be different in future coaching sessions.

The CLEAR model has a number of differences from the other
models. It starts by discussing the ‘contract’. This allows the
ground rules to be set, so the coachee has the opportunity to
discuss how he or she would like to be coached. There is then a
big emphasis on listening – a key component of coaching. When
we are being listened to we feel valued, when we feel valued our
self-confidence rises and we are more likely to commit to
change. The review stage is also important, as it not only
reviews the outcome of the coaching session but also reviews
the effectiveness of the process. This is important. We should
not just assume that the session has been effective, particularly
if there is going to be a further session. We should discuss how
useful the session was, and how we could make it even more
useful next time.
