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 ‘Coach & Co. Workplace Coaching Session’ (5:50 – 8:01): the coach asks the coachee to contract for the issue to be worked on and consider what the outcome could look like if he is successful, and a transcription of ‘Creating a Coaching Brief and Contract’ (0:20 – 1:15): a manager about to take a step up to become a director, being coached on her gravitas, her visibility, and her confidence.
