What if I know the answer? exploring workplace coaching scenarios

It’s a question that we get often in our Leader as Coach or
introductory coaching workshops that goes something along the
lines of:  ‘Coaching is great. Asking them for options is
great. But what if I know the answer?.’ 


 


The question is usually followed by an explanation about how the
person asking the question is a subject matter expert and knows
the way forward. Or perhaps there’s no time for coaching.
Alternatively, a worry or concern about the options generated by
the coachee, particularly when the coach thinks that the options
might be risky or just unrealistic.


 


Even coaches with more experience may find thoughts might cross
their minds about ‘better’ options or answers.


 


So join us for this Coaching Café where we continue our theme of
Coaching Cafes: exploring very real workplace coaching
scenarios and we explore situational coaching. In particular
how to approach the scenario in the workplace, when you actually
know that an option may not work, be the best alternative or is
not feasible. Whether you are an experienced coach, coaching
managers to coach their people, just starting out, or even
coaching family members, it’s a topic that we can all explore and
learn from.
