ABSTRACT

In Chapter 18, I discussed how the coach and coachee could prepare for the session by having a pre-session telephone conversation. During this conversation, the coach helps the coachee to identify a number of variables that may help them during the session. It is important for the coach to keep a list of these factors and keep them in mind during the session. Doing so is important since an opportunity may present itself for the coach to suggest to the coachee that they may use one of these factors to either enhance their development or address their problem (or coaching-related obstacle). Here is a list of such variables.
