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.
