Listen "What if I know the answer? exploring workplace coaching scenarios"
Episode Synopsis
It’s a question that we get often in our Leader as Coach or introductory coaching workshops that goes something along the lines of: ‘Coaching is great. Asking them for options is great. But what if I know the answer?.’ The question is usually followed by an explanation about how the person asking the question is a subject matter expert and knows the way forward. Or perhaps there’s no time for coaching. Alternatively, a worry or concern about the options generated by the coachee, particularly when the coach thinks that the options might be risky or just unrealistic. Even coaches with more experience may find thoughts might cross their minds about ‘better’ options or answers. So join us for this Coaching Café where we continue our theme of Coaching Cafes: exploring very real workplace coaching scenarios and we explore situational coaching. In particular how to approach the scenario in the workplace, when you actually know that an option may not work, be the best alternative or is not feasible. Whether you are an experienced coach, coaching managers to coach their people, just starting out, or even coaching family members, it’s a topic that we can all explore and learn from.Thanks for listening!
