Coaching Spotlight: Visualising the Outcome

"Self-discipline is like a muscle: The more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. A starting point to get you unstuck is to take time to visualise how great it will be to get things done, imagine and paint a mental picture of the benefits and the sense of satisfaction you’ll have once it’s done. Keeping a broad vision of your goal or project in mind keeps you motivated." - Pastore, M. (2017)

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 ‘Coaching Skills Demonstration’ (4:06 -7:48): the coaching manager helps the team member to visualise a scenario where her relationship with her manager is more productive and to consider what she could change in order to achieve this.
