Open the "Self-Awareness" Door for Maximum Talent Development
08/24/22 • 7 min
I have said for almost 30 years that coaching is a two step process. First, you want people to look in the mirror. #2, you want people to take action on #1 yet very few people do number one arbitrarily on their own. That's why we need to coach our people to first establish a foundation of self-awareness which will lead to accelerated talent development. Self-awareness is difficult for people. Self-awareness causes people to look in the mirror and look at themselves. Let me save you the suspense you will have many employees who don't even own mirrors. The power of coaching and the specific use of questions will help open up that door to each and every one of your employees. It's time to open the self-awareness door!

The ABCD of Coaching
Coaching is as easy as A, B, C, D.
- There is awareness. The power of awareness when leaders become aware of how they're perceived and they can develop awareness in others. Coaching becomes much easier.
- Building coaching plans is vital. Anything requires strategy and planning and coaching is no different when building a coaching plan. There needs to be a variety of options that scale time.
- The actual coaching must maintain a consistent cadence with little cancellation of scheduling to show trust and build trust between the coach and the person being coached.
- Determine Progress. It is vital to stay on a track of progress, and this can be measured in three levels, effort, progress, and results.
