Essential Coaching Skills.
1) Listening:
Being actively present to a coachee, collecting and
synthesizing the sensory information (visual, auditory, and
kinesthetic) as well as non-sensory specific terms so as to
accurately reflect back the content presented as well as
process information.
5 Mostly Quiet,
Speaking less than 30% of the time, ideally 5% to 10%. Turning
body to coachee to be fully physically present to the coachee,
acknowledging the communication by maintaining eye contact, using
soft "sparkling eyes," head nodding, and encouragers. Asking about
what is not being said. Asking questions that invite coachee to cocreate more questions or awareness of mental and emotional
structures and resources, coachee talking extensively and then
saying, "I never thought of any of this before you asked about it."
4 Probing, 60% Quiet
Asking questions that probe for more details about coachee' s view of
things, inviting coachee to self-listen ("Did you hear what you just
said?") to increase awareness of what's "in the back of the mind,"
giving space and time for person to be with those thoughts and
feelings, being silent as the coachee speaks 60% or more of the time,
supporting coachee (See Supporting). Ask lots of awareness
