We have covered a number of topics over the past weeks to explore real workplace coaching scenarios, including: coaching when people have too much on their plates, coaching when you know the answers and coaching ‘when it is easier to do it myself’.  Throughout these conversations we have explored the role of coaching, coaching principles and ICF competencies and great coaching questions.   Following on from this, another scenario we often get asked about is: when is it not the right time for coaching? The question often comes when people who are new to coaching are thinking ‘coaching is great…but…’. The ‘but’ is questioning when is coaching most appropriate, and when should the manager be doing something else, for example telling, directing, mentoring, advising or intervening. This tension about ‘what is my role’ and ‘what is appropriate’ is not just a simple matter of understanding the difference between coaching, directing, mentoring and other techniques.  We can think about the scenarios from a number of perspectives including risk versus reward and ethics or values.   With this in mind, join us for this Coaching Café where we continue our theme of Coaching Cafes: exploring very real workplace coaching scenarios; and we focus on when is it not the right time for coaching?Thanks for listening!
