INTRODUCTION

This Spotlight is one of a series of Spotlights to support the Institute’s ‘Coaching Conversations’, an accredited Institute of Leadership and Management product that recognises coaching both as an invaluable tool for any leader or manager, and for developing your ability to support your colleagues in the workplace or those you may meet in a voluntary capacity.

This Spotlight provides a transcription of ‘What is Business Coaching Like?’ (6:16 – 8:40): the coach demonstrates curiosity in supporting the coachee to explore ways in which to help her to create possibilities to meet her aspirations. The coachee is visibly engaged with the process, smiling and laughing as she visualises success. The second transcription is from ‘Effective Coaching Conversations: Chapter 2 How we influence’ (1.10 – 3.12): ‘In this demonstration, we see how a ‘tell’ or ‘directive’ style of conversation can limit outcomes and results. We also see how when we encourage an individual to be self-directing, we gain improvements to understanding, engagement and results’.
