EP 64 : The hardest skill to master when you learn coaching
Surprising but crucial: 'Making Agreements' is the hardest skill in coaching. This episode explores its significance and levels of agreement.
What do you think is the hardest competency to master when you want to become great at coaching? Is it active listening? Powerful Questioning? You might be in for a surprise. Based on all I have seen it is ‘Making Agreements’. What? If you are in disbelief, then this episode is for you 🙂
In this episode, we put our spotlight on a competency that many beginner coaches are very surprised by. Making good agreements is a surprisingly tough skill to learn and do well. It is also one of those things that differentiate a ‘normal’ conversation from a coaching conversation.
This episode is the first in a series that focuses on this special, hard skill. At this stage we will look at what we mean by ‘agreement’ in a coaching context, and what levels of agreement there are!
Fasten your seatbelts…you will be in for quite a skill ride over the next few episodes.
Enjoy!
