Facilitating Individual
Performance
Performance of an individual = potential +
attitude -
interference.
Interference creates a huge gap between the
potential and performance. It is usually based in fear, uncertainty and
doubt (FUD).9 Interference crops up
in many forms, but nothing gets in the way of peak performance more than
doubt.7 You can reduce interference by focusing attention of the
player. When the player's attention is focused, he enters a mental state –
the state of
relaxed concentration – in which he can learn and perform at his
best.8...

Growing Role of
Non-directive Coaching
Coaching became one of the "hot" areas of
personal, professional, and business development. There is in-build
limitation in training and consulting, as well as directive coaching that
involves directing, telling and instructing, which is the person giving
advise or instruction has to know the answer already, or has to be able to
work it out. Given the complex structure in most organizations as well as
constantly and rapidly changing business environment in
today's
knowledge-driven economy, that is an unrealistic proposition.
Non-directive coaching that involves
inspiring,
asking
effective questions, summarizing, paraphrasing, reflecting, and
listening can help you and the player you are coaching achieve amazing
results. If you adopt non-directive approach, people learn in minutes things
that would take you, operating from a more conventional directive model,
hours to teach.
Focusing on the Person, Not
the Subject
Coaching is the key to unlocking the potential
of your
people, your organization, and yourself. It is based on the concept that
individuals learn most from the everyday
application
of skills and by trying things out in
practice.
"Not only is there no established body of
knowledge called coaching, but the coach often has less expertise that the
one being coached. The coach does not need to impart knowledge, advice, or
even wisdom. What he or she must do is speak and act, in such a way that
others learn and perform at their best," writes Myles Downey, the author of
Effective Coaching.
The coaching is all about helping others to
identify and define their specific
goals, and
then organize themselves to attain these goals.
Coaching deals with building an individual's personal skills, from setting
the goals, to
communication, management style,
decision making and
problem solving.
Coaches draw upon a client's inner knowledge,
resources and
creativity to help him or her be more effective. It is about bringing
the same structure and creativity to your interaction with colleagues as you
bring to
solving business problems.
