Coaching Conversation

The Coach has two jobs to prepare for a healthy Coaching Conversation. The first is to understand the data analysis and be prepared to meet with the Manager for a healthy, constructive conversation which will build “foresight” into the future success. Second is the coaching experience itself – designed to help the manager see more clearly what they can do to enhance their leadership in the future.
For Data Analysis, the Coach must spend the time to learn about the Manager’s work group with the view of enabling the Manager to see and recognize the strengths and developmental opportunities of their unique group.  Results must be granular enough that there is a clear picture of the realities of the workers’ attitudes and perceptions pertaining to each of the Categories, Factors and Items served up by the survey results.
For help in data analysis, the Coach needs to put into mental columns the strengths, developmental opportunities and mid-ranges and then decide what and how the coaching approach should be for that Manager. In other words, to determine what are the most important areas to focus upon for maximum growth.
