This week’s coaching cut ✂️

scottinghatt.bsky.social @scottinghatt.bsky.social · 1d

🎦 Today's Coaching Cut substack is out!

Our logic is...
How can we know what to improve if we don’t know our coachee’s intentions?

Great coaching starts by asking our coachees their goal and helping them refine it!

Coaching tip: support self-monitoring

The bulk of the learning occurs when the coach isn’t there…

Help coachees identify proxies of success and failure and how to respond.

Prepare coachees to self-monitor so their learning carries on after coaching.
