You can’t coach everyone! Maintaining the distinction between coaching and other services

You can’t coach everyone! Maintaining the distinction between
coaching and other services 


‘Coaching’s fine. And I’m not trying to be controversial. But you
can’t coach everyone. I reckon most of my team I have to mentor
them. And tell them what to do, because they have no idea.’ 


The comment was in response to a question I asked a group of
managers, as part of our discussion about ‘what is coaching, and
what is it not?’.  I simply asked: ‘do you have any
questions?’  


It was obviously more of a statement, than a question. But what
is interesting, is that this comment is very common.  When
we are coaching managers to move their mindset from ‘telling and
directing’ to a coaching mindset, there is going to be
resistance. 


However, as professional workplace coaches, the distinction
between coaching and other techniques is extremely important. In
fact, it is written into the ICF Core Competency: Demonstrates
Ethical Practice. 


So this week on the Coaching Café Podcast, join Natalie and Paula
as we continue our deeper dive into the ICF Core Competency of
Demonstrates Ethical Practice and explore why maintaining clear
boundaries between coaching and other leadership styles is
essential. 


Most importantly, we will provide a practical framework to
help you: 
️ Distinguish between coaching and other services 
️ Respond to resistance from managers 
️ Maintain ethical coaching practices 
️ Apply the ICF Core Competencies in real-life scenarios
