3 simple ways to use coaching skills everyday

Coaching isn’t just for coaches : coaching skills can help people personally and professionally. In this video I share three powerful ways you can start to use coaching in every day life. The skill of coaching can support you to improve communication, support others, make more effective decisions and transform how you lead. You will learn: - How to use coaching in everyday conversations - The difference between directing and curiousity - The power of coaching in improving relationships Coaching isn't about always "being a coach" it's about those everyday conversations where instead of always offering solutions or giving advice you ask open questions and create space for thinking. As a leader or manager coaching is one of the most powerful leadership skills you can have and allows you to go from always being the person with the answers to building capacity, encouraging autonomy and developing people : the pause, the curiousity and the deep listening all help. And, coaching skills can equally be used for you personally to reflect, gain clarity and make better decisions: great questions include : “What do I actually want here?” “What’s really driving this?” “What would a great outcome look like?” Coaching doesn't have to be something you do in formal sessions : it's a skills which we can all use, I'd love to know how you use coaching skills.
