Coaching Dynamics:
There are three options open to you, each of which has its own dynamic and benefit.
Laser Coaching™
These sessions are short, sweet, to the point, and get to the core dynamic of a situation, roadblock or insight to get you moving and fast. They are 15 minutes in duration, conducted via telephone and you’ll be amazed at how effective they are!
Lightening Rounds
You’ve got me for one hour to pick my brain, create a plan of action, brainstorm and figure things out. These aren’t strategy or long term sessions. They aren’t to figure out long term goals and ways forward. This vehicle is to plan, create and move. These are perfect for coaches, business and solopreneurs looking to build their business, market, blog, and for master level coaches and organizational leadership wanting to learn more about integrating various models of coaching into their current practices or organizations.
Shadow Coaching™
Shadow Coaching™ is a particular advanced application of reflective and observational coaching that provides one way for clients to go below the surfact into the core dynamics of a situation, illuminating the truth of the moment and making decisions that move people forward. Shadow Coaching™ is a real time learning approach in developing a refined self-awareness and capabilities in the workplace as a result of reflection on practice. It enables people, not only to benefit from the continuous presence of an observing coach over an extended period of time in a typical set of workdays, but also develops their own role as self-observer for the long term. It aids clients in becoming reflective practitioners.
This type of coaching is ideally suited to organizational leaders who must make decisions and act adaptively in intense work environments. Shadow Coaching™ involves partnering with clients in their work environments and brings another experiences and fresh perspective that helps to identify problematic dynamics, work habits and assumptions that impede effectiveness. Within Shadow Coaching™ is the competency of Laser Coaching™ which involves being able to provoke the leader’s awareness of these problematic features in ways that they can be addressed immediately. It goes beyond support to problem solving. Shadow Coaching™ creates seismically altering change.
