Preparation for a Coaching Session
A coaching session is a meeting between you and your coachee. And, as with any meeting, preparation will help you to achieve your desired outcome.
Example - Adequate Coaching Preparation
And, to use an example:
Jackie just finished a coaching session with Pauline. Because of her prior coaching experience, Jackie was confident that there was no need to prepare. And, this was what happened:
What a nightmare! I can't believe that things went so badly in our meeting. I thought I knew what I wanted to say to Pauline, but I just couldn't collect my thoughts.
She didn't even seem to understand why she was in the meeting.
I forgot what I was going to say. Then Harry arrived to use the room for a seminar--he'd booked it in advance, and I had to finish our meeting early.
Benefits of Adequate Coaching Preparation
As a coach, you could find yourself in the same position as Jackie if you don't prepare.
Of course, you can't plan for everything or guarantee that nothing will ever go wrong, but with careful preparation and planning, you'll ensure that:
you've identified a coaching opportunity, so the coachee knows why you're meeting with her
you have established that coaching needs to happen
the venue, timing, and background information are available and appropriate to support the success of the coaching session.
Effective Coaching Interventions
If your coachee doesn't want your input as a coach or feels that there is nothing to be gained by meeting with you, then your job as a coach can be difficult.
You will reap the benefits of taking the time to prepare for each coaching intervention because you will be able to recognize coaching opportunities as they arise, agree with the coachee that coaching needs to happen, and make sure that you have everything you need to make the coaching session a success.
Remember that poor planning leads to poor performance. (...)
