Learning how to Coach in English ("Brilliant Coaching", Day13, final), Coaching Path

Hello everyone!

I am an executive coach supporting and encouraging people who work in companies or organizations.

This is the FINAL day for the series of putting key points about coaching at work based on the book titled "Brilliant Coaching" by Julie Starr.

Today, I will cover "the Coaching Path" which is a simple structure in coaching conversation. This will help coaching manages navigate how to have an effective conversation in the workplace.

The Coaching Path


1. Structure of The Coaching Path

(1) Establish conversation
(2) Identify topic and goal
(3) Inquiry understanding / insight
(4) Shape conclusions / agreements
(5) Completion / close

While the Coaching Path has five stages, the first and last stage will already familiar to you.


2. Key elements of each stage

(1) Establish conversation
- Introduce session
- 'How are you?' etc.
- Create coaching climate and atmosphere

(2) Identify clear topic and goal
- 'What would you like to talk about?'
- 'What do you want to get from this?'
- 'What do we need to do in this conversation?'

(3) Inquiry understanding and insight
- 'Tell me about the situation.'
- 'What's been happening?'
- Summaries, refection, challenge, etc.

(4) Shape conclusions and agreements
- 'So, what are you thinking of doing?'
- 'What are your options?'
- 'What have you decided?'

(5) Completion and close
- 'Let's just confirm....'
- 'Has that been useful?'
- 'Are we complete?'

That's all for today and all the key points I have found useful in this book.

See you tomorrow!
