Coaching is leadership, and leadership works best when
modeled continually. When leaders focus each interaction with presence and
awareness, listen for others’ needs, and are intentional about their impact,
they maximize their effectiveness. Coaching happens when inquiry invites others
to be part of their own solution and when feedback is for the sake of growth
and pragmatic application.
Coaching
is…
“A process that
enables learning and development to occur and thus performance to improve. To
be a successful a Coach requires a knowledge and understanding of process as
well as the variety of styles, skills and techniques that are appropriate to
the context in which the coaching takes place”
Eric Parsloe, The Manager as Coach and Mentor (1999) page
8. Eric is a respected author and Director of the OCM
Mentoring
is…
“Offline help by
one person to another in making significant transitions in knowledge, work or
thinking”
Clutterbuck, D & Megginson, D, Mentoring Executives and
Directors (1999) page 3. David Clutterbuck & David Megginson are both
founder members of The European Mentoring and Coaching Council and highly
respected authors, academics and consultants in the mentoring arena.
As I reflect on this week’s materials, what I' leaned about
my self is I have a lot of knowledge and experience to share. I or should I say
I believe there isn’t one part no more important than the other when it comes concepts/theories
about motivation and coaching. It’s hard for me to say one stands out more. Everything
plays and important part.
My quote for the week. No matter
how talented you are your talent will fail you, if you’re not skilled. Skill is
achieve through practice. Work hard and dedicate yourself to being better every
single day
Will Smith
