Coaching; The Language Of Recognition

Coaching is a powerful tool for building people’s self-worth. When coaching someone, you are giving them the gift of recognition by seeing and celebrating their talents, skills, and qualities. 

When you coach people you are not just telling them what they need to do to improve, but rather why what they have already accomplished has been so important. You can recognize their strengths or accomplishments without adding any requirements for changing or adjusting anything about who they are as a person. 

Coaching is an art. Like other talents, it requires practice and skill to be successful. The more you coach people, the more you learn about what makes them tick and how they interact. You will not just end up being a coach; you will be a better coach all together because of the experience of coaching. 

Coaches can make themselves even better coaches by becoming aware of what motivates them. When coaching someone for the first time, you might overlook that special something that motivates him or her. People are different and so are their motivators. "You can not just be present with a person during a coaching session and have abundant results without knowing what “wants” to motivate him. There is no magic formula for good coaching. It takes having a lot of compassion for what motivates the person and being able to express that via coaching" 

Coaching requires trust in another person. You have to have faith in the power of coaching to motivate someone. If you don’t believe that you can help this particular person, then it is best not to try at all. Trusting people is a bit like faith. It takes time, commitment and effort for people to change their lives. The more time and effort you put into coaching someone, the better your results will be. 

Coaching works in any situation. If a person is stuck in his or her current situation and you don’t believe that coaching will work, then you might have less confidence in your abilities as a coach. "When a person is really convinced that they can not do something and they can not change the situation or themselves, they will stay on the same place, no matter how much empathy from other people." 

A key concept to remember with coaching is that we all want to feel known, especially when we are about to embark on an important endeavor. It is important to acknowledge the work that the person had done in preparation for launching. It also communicates respect for their character and what they have accomplished.

A classic example of this concept is when a coach points out the particular skills or experiences that helped the person grow from his or her current role. It is often followed by asking, "How did you do that?" This question tells the person how to continue to develop those skills so he or she can effectively perform his or her new role even better.
