'C.O.A.C.H.' – (Control, Observe, Analyze, Create, Help) Part 1

- 





As a Life and Executive Coach myself always beyond than listening and talking, my aim is understanding what isn’t being said collect all the <dots>, connect them and create through them.

A Coach in every interaction and discussion should…


Control - the situation, the relationship and the feelings of the other person (I tend - prefer not to called or define the other person as a client)
Observe – his/her body feelings, reactions, behave, tone, color, sequence of his/ her voice, the context and the content
Analyze – all the previous and the reflection in your mind and knead, through questions which arise in coach’s mind
Create – a defense an interrupt of his/her negative feelings and thoughts and direction
Help – to organize, restore, recreate motivate and to grow
 

‘In a growth mindset, challenges are exciting rather than threatening. So rather than thinking, oh, I’m going to reveal my weaknesses, you say, wow, here’s a chance to grow.’  Carol Dweck, author and researcher


Through my career and involvement in personal, professional and in artistic level, I have always liked to socialize and connect with people with other interests, different knowledge, polymaths… with a variety of backgrounds which is also help me to interact and connect with people from different cultures.
 
A Coach is consistently available for what is and what shows up in each moment, confident to perceive what is most important and respond to it authentically. The Coach surrenders to the flow and momentum created in the reciprocal field between client and coach that occurs through the process of “pure” coaching. 
 
For a coach is essential to have developed also a high level of creativity. Why?
To create motivation, to create relationships, to create opportunities, to create a new view of our world, etc...to have a diverse mindset and culture with a pluralism of knowledge.
He/she must label other person emotions, frame his/her thoughts and try to reframe them.

No matter what medium you use on interpersonal connections, you can only master your craft through disciplined action, and learning a set of skills as a means of achieving the desired outcome.

According to Chris Voss, mirroring is most effective when you repeat one, two, or three words from the last words your counterpart has spoken. It's especially effective in defusing anger or hostility.
 
Voss calls this tactic "trust-based influence." If you want another person to say 'yes' to your idea, you must first gain their trust. Once they trust you, you'll be far more influential and more likely to strike a deal that makes both of you happy.  
 
And Trust which is requires comfort for the other person and willingness to admit his/her mistakes, weaknesses or need for help. When there is no trust, there is fear of conflict - which is the next dysfunction. Without trust, people don't engage in productive conversation. Trust requires that you approach situations with sincerity, kindness and openness.
 
A Great Coach drawing in others minds and knows how to connect, think progression, not perfection. Think small improvements to create a major improvement.

  Always share in my interactions with clients and other L&D professionals (sharing it with you for another time) that, a trainer’s job is not only to teach trainees. A trainer’s also responsibility is to teach trainees to know how to learn, as well as to give them the motivation at the same time to constantly want to learn. So is very important to consider many things before creating a training program, during the training program and of course after… the training program. In my experience and knowledge, you can use all the latest technologies you want, but unless employees can see how the training is beneficial, they will not be motivated to be a part of it. The instructor also is the most important key cause must be effective to connect, interact, engage and transmit the training program including meaningful content.   It is important to take a broad perspective when designing a training program using blended methods so it is important for the trainer to have a blended… mindset,

  Recently read a very interesting report by Eurostat, on Adult Learning Statistics for 2022, in EU countries where I repost it full below.   My statement through this report, is that organizations in many EU countries doesn’t realizing the importance of long-term training in their workplace.   Continuous learning helps develop a “growth mindset”, motivating employees to adopt a flexible and adaptable attitude.
