About this listen
Coaching is a powerful skill for leaders and professionals. Mindful coaching is about helping others reflect in the context of a safe relationship. Silence and Caring are at the heart of mindful coaching. When coaches provide accepting attention it is healing in itself.
There are two phases of mindful coaching: Assessment and Goal-setting. Assessment is about seeking understanding and has two key components:
- Active listening
- Focused Inquiry
Goal-setting is about planning and action and has two key components:
- Brainstorming
- Committing to action
There are three levels and modes of operating as a mindful coach:
- Sounding Board
- Skills Development Trainer
- Transformational Agent
Generally we avoid giving advice because our goal is for clients to learn to think for themselves. Questions help us avoid taking over and invite reflection. However, if a client is about to make a costly mistake that could affect their career, we can temporarily step out of our neutral stance and go into expert mode to provide advice.
