What Makes a Great Coach? Curiosity

On the Coaching Café Podcast this week we are looking forward to
continuing the momentum of focussing on the top 10 practices of
the world’s best coaches from What Makes a Great Coach? 





This week we turned our attention to the brilliant clip from the
hit Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso (played by Jason Sudeikis). Ted is
shooting darts in a high-stakes match against Ruppert, and just
before he hits the winning bull-eye he talks about how people
have always under-estimated others including him, but he focusses
on ‘be curious, not judgemental.’





‘If they were curious’, Ted continues with his story, ‘they would
ask a lot of questions like “have you played a lot of darts
Ted?”. To which I would have answered, “yes Sir, every Sunday
afternoon at a sports bar with my Father, from the age 10 to the
age 16, until he passed away.”’


As coaches, we know that curiosity is built into everything we
do.


And many of us are coaching managers in the workplace to be
curious and ask questions when a team member presents a problem,
rather than jumping in and solving the problem straight away.
 





But as we discovered, for many people curiosity doesn’t come
easily. So join us for the Coaching Café Podcast where we
ask: 


•What questions create a culture of curiosity in the
workplace? 


•How do we spark curiosity in others? 


•How can we refine our own practice of curiosity?



What Makes a Great Coach? gives us the opportunity to reflect on
our own coaching practices.  So join Emma and Natalie for
this Coaching Café this week where we share the research and
stories around curiosity from the book.  And most
importantly key questions that we can all use to reflect on how
we bring curiosity to our coaching practice.
