Eleven Points of Laser Coaching
1. People aren't broken; don't try to fix them.
2. The coachee cannot change another person; they can only
change him/herself.
3. Subtract the coachee's self doubt.
4. Coachees want our partnership vs. our advice.
5. The coachee is responsible for the choices they have made in
life.
6. If the coachee thinks they are in trouble, they are. About
anything. If you have any doubt, ask yourself (and ask the
coachee, “Is this really a problem?”)
7. It's probably not personal (the coachee's "unique" situation.)
8. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs must be satisfied in correct
order.
Maslow:
1. Physiological: food, drink, shelter, relief from pain
2. Safety and security: freedom from threatening events or
surroundings.
3. Belongingness, social, and love: friendship, affiliation,
interaction, and love
4. Esteem: self-esteem and esteem of others
5. Self actualization: fulfill self by maximizing use of your
abilities, skills, and potential
