Facilitating Individual Performance

Performance of an individual = potential + attitude - interference.

Interference creates a huge gap between the potential and performance. It is usually based in fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD).9 Interference crops up in many forms, but nothing gets in the way of peak performance more than doubt.7 You can reduce interference by focusing attention of the player. When the player's attention is focused, he enters a mental state – the state of relaxed concentration – in which he can learn and perform at his best.8... More

Bad Feedback vs. Good Feedback

Bad Feedback: Demotivates, focuses on blame; creates defensiveness and confrontation

Good Feedback: Encourages, focuses on improvements – achieved or possible; creates trust and cooperation... More

Growing Role of Non-directive Coaching

Coaching became one of the "hot" areas of personal, professional, and business development. There is in-build limitation in training and consulting, as well as directive coaching that involves directing, telling and instructing, which is the person giving advise or instruction has to know the answer already, or has to be able to work it out. Given the complex structure in most organizations as well as constantly and rapidly changing business environment in today's knowledge-driven economy, that is an unrealistic proposition.

Non-directive coaching that involves inspiring, asking effective questions, summarizing, paraphrasing, reflecting, and listening can help you and the player you are coaching achieve amazing results. If you adopt non-directive approach, people learn in minutes things that would take you, operating from a more conventional directive model, hours to teach. 

Focusing on the Person, Not the Subject

Coaching is the key to unlocking the potential of your people, your organization, and yourself. It is based on the concept that individuals learn most from the everyday application of skills and by trying things out in practice.

"Not only is there no established body of knowledge called coaching, but the coach often has less expertise that the one being coached. The coach does not need to impart knowledge, advice, or even wisdom. What he or she must do is speak and act, in such a way that others learn and perform at their best," writes Myles Downey, the author of Effective Coaching.

The coaching is all about helping others to identify and define their specific goals, and then organize themselves to attain these goals. Coaching deals with building an individual's personal skills, from setting the goals, to communication, management style, decision making and problem solving.

Coaches draw upon a client's inner knowledge, resources and creativity to help him or her be more effective. It is about bringing the same structure and creativity to your interaction with colleagues as you bring to solving business problems.
