Coaches motto. . . Coachees are creative, resourceful and whole Powerful Question: If I only noticed the creative, brilliant parts of my coachee, what would I have to let go of?
COACH Model C= Competencies
Powerful Questions • Reflect active listening and understanding of the coachee’s perspective • Evoke discovery, insight, commitment, or action • Open-ended questions create greater clarity, possibility, or new learning • Move the coachee toward what he/she desires, not justify or look backward
Using Powerful Questions • Get dumb and curious instead of taking the role of expert • It’s not important what you know, it’s what the coachee knows • You’re not responsible for their results
Pair Sharing: Powerful Questions • Each person at the table picks up a powerful question • Partner with the person to your left • Take turns asking your partner your powerful question • Each person will have 2 minutes to respond • The person asking the question will only listen
Coaching Video: Ruben • Designate someone at your table to be Ruben • Follow the Competencies section of the COACH Model • Spend 5 minutes selecting and asking Ruben 3 powerful questions • Use the coaching questions handout as a guide • Complete the Here And Now Section of the Strategizing For Success handout
Then And There Only when you know where you want to go can you find a route to get there. Dr. Howard Adams
COACH Model O = Outcome
Change 3 Things • Partner with the person to your right • Designate a person A and a person B • Person A is the Observer • Person B is making the changes • Stand up back to back • Person B makes 3 changes • Face your partner • Person A: What 3 changes did you observe? • Repeat
Coaching Video: Kristi • Use the Outcome section of the COACH Model and the powerful questions examples • Spend 5 minutes coaching Ruben in identifying his vision for his future • Record the goals and outcomes on the There And Then section of the Strategizing For Success handout
COACH Model A = Action
“Let not the fruit of action be your motive to action. Your business is with action alone, not with the fruit of the action.” Bhagavad-Gita
The Gap • Use the Action section of the COACH Model • Spend 5 minutes coaching Ruben using the powerful question examples to form action steps toward reaching his goals • Complete The Gap section of the Strategizing For Success handout
COACH Model CH = Checking
Coaching Video: Aimee • Ask Ruben if all the goals were met, and his vision for his future were realized, what one word would he use to describe how he feels • Take Ruben’s word and write it on your pennant after the Equal sign • What two things would have to happen for the Outcome in the Success Formula? • Put those two words in the first two blanks on your pennant
Student Success Formulas • Understanding the Material + Applying It to the Test = Accomplishment • Efficiency + Self Care = Successful • Good Prioritization + Acceptance = Reaching My Potential • Applying Knowledge + Acceptance = Competence • Study + Time = Learning & Understanding
