Over the past few years, coaching has risen tremendously in popularity. And for good reason \u2013 it works.<\/p>

Or at least… if it\u2019s done correctly.<\/p>

In a 2006 BlessingWhite study, 73% of managers admitted to having some form of coaching training. However, only 23% of them thought that the coaching had an impact on their performance or job satisfaction.<\/p>

So, why didn\u2019t it work?<\/p>

Probably for three reasons:<\/p>

  1. The coaching was probably overly theoretical, too boring or complicated;<\/li>
  2. Even if it was engaging, you probably didn\u2019t spend the time necessary to turn the advice into action; and<\/li>
  3. Receiving advice can be difficult.<\/li><\/ol>

    But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way!<\/p>

    Coaching is simple, and it will help you unlock your potential. It will let you work less hard and have more impact.<\/p>

    Let\u2019s dive in and let me teach you the most significant insights from Michael Bungay Stanier’s fantastic book The Coaching Habit<\/em>. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    We will cover seven questions that will break you out of the vicious circles of over-dependent teammates, overwhelming amounts of work, and disconnection from the work that matters.<\/p>

    We will also cover some \u201cQuestion Masterclass Lessons\u201d \u2013 that is, lessons that should be applied in order to get the most out of the Seven Essential Questions.<\/p>

    The behavior change we hope to install is simple: a little more asking people questions and a little less telling people what to do.<\/p>

    But first… Let us show you very quickly how to build a habit:<\/strong><\/p>

    1. Make a vow<\/u>: Be clear about the payoff for changing something. Research shows that it\u2019s helpful to think about how the new habit will help people you care about.<\/li>
    2. Figure out the root of the cause<\/u>: If you don\u2019t know what triggers the old behavior, you\u2019ll never change it.<\/li>
    3. Be short and specific<\/u>: Define your new habit as something that needs less than sixty seconds to complete.<\/li>
    4. Practice intensely<\/u>: Practice small chunks of the bigger action, practice often, and be aware of your improvements.<\/li>
    5. Plan how to get back on track<\/u>: Everyone stumbles, but don\u2019t let it get you down. Make your habit into a resilient system.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Question Masterclass Part 1: Ask One Question at a Time<\/b><\/p>

      When questions come hurling from every direction, there\u2019s no time to answer any of them. Ask only one question at a time\u2026<\/p>

      Then be quiet and wait for the answer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      There are two types of coaching:<\/p>

      1. Coaching for performance; and<\/li>
      2. Coaching for development.<\/li><\/ol>

        Coaching for performance is about addressing and fixing a specific problem.<\/p>

        Coaching for development is about turning the focus from the issue to the person dealing with the issue. This is rarer and much more powerful.<\/p>

        The 3P model is a way to create focus and shift the focus (when appropriate) to coaching for development.<\/p>

        The 3P model includes:<\/p>
