When is it not the right time for coaching?

We have covered a number of topics over the past weeks to explore
real workplace coaching scenarios, including: coaching when
people have too much on their plates, coaching when you know the
answers and coaching ‘when it is easier to do it myself’. 
Throughout these conversations we have explored the role of
coaching, coaching principles and ICF competencies and great
coaching questions.  


 


Following on from this, another scenario we often get asked about
is: when is it not the right time for coaching? The
question often comes when people who are new to coaching are
thinking ‘coaching is great…but…’. The ‘but’ is questioning when
is coaching most appropriate, and when should the manager be
doing something else, for example telling, directing, mentoring,
advising or intervening.


 


This tension about ‘what is my role’ and ‘what is appropriate’ is
not just a simple matter of understanding the difference between
coaching, directing, mentoring and other techniques.  We can
think about the scenarios from a number of perspectives including
risk versus reward and ethics or values.  


 


With this in mind, join us for this Coaching Café where we
continue our theme of Coaching Cafes: exploring very real
workplace coaching scenarios; and we focus on when is it
not the right time for coaching?
