Coaching is a new way of engaging employees.
Helping people find solutions
When people show up with their difficulties, coaches pay attention, listen, and reflect. Then, together, you co-create solutions. If you can do that well, you've already added value to the interaction.
Having better conversations
It is through conversations that we get things done. We dwell in conversations. We engage in conversations. So then I find that coaching is basically having better conversations with clients.
Providing Direction
While today’s employees generally possess the technical skills needed, they often require guidance. By applying coaching skills, leaders can provide direction without resorting to micromanagement, making coaching a powerful tool for employee engagement.
