Coaching Process

The Knowledge Bank® Coaching C@KB method follows a five stage development process.

The steps are the same whether the Coaching is for you as an individual or for your team.

1. Impetus

In this stage, Coach and Client identify outcomes, success criteria, and appropriate measures. We answer two important questions:

1. Why are we here?

2. How will we know when we've accomplished what we set out to do?

Obtaining good answers to those two questions is essential. Without them, the Coaching assignment is unlikely to produce meaningful gains.

Once the rationale and objectives are clear, we create a Coaching Agreement that outlines the coaching engagement so that you have a clear idea of both the process and the outcomes.

2. Discovery

Using myriad data collection methods, your Coach assists you with a multidimensional assessment of your individual strengths.

The tools we might use include:

· Validated instruments to gauge your personal work style and individual strengths;

· Time journals

· Guided personal reflections and meaningful exercises

The goal: To see yourself afresh through many lenses as a prelude to undertaking new actions in order to yield new results.

The better you understand who you are today, the faster you can evolve into whom you'd like to become.

3. Development Planning

Working with tools and techniques provided by your Coach, you set specific, appropriate goals for your development (or that of the Team).

During this part of the process, you identify:

· Methods & techniques to employ

· Milestones for progress

· Resources to draw on

· Barriers to overcome

4. Action & Practice

In this phase, you actually implement some new skills and behaviors. By adopting new methods and habits, you'll develop the enhanced competence and produce the improved results you're seeking.

5. Progress Checks & Refinement

Lasting improvement comes from obtaining—and acting on—honest feedback about performance. By assessing your progress, you can build on it and improve even more!

Development is a self-reinforcing, self-perpetuating habit that continues to serve you long after the formal coaching engagement is over.
