LEADER AS COACH

LEADER AS COACH ON ONE PAGE: GUIDANCE
During the time we’ve used GROW Coaching, our understanding of human performance has evolved.
More prominent today are the relationship between person and context, the link between internal
motivation and external demand, the importance of learning and the significance of language and
conversation. FLOW Coaching brings these features to life in a new tool for the Leader as Coach.

STEPS

GOAL

COACHING CONVERSATION
What do you want from this session?
What is your goal? What does success look like?
How will you know when you are successful?
What would be a milestone along the way?

REALITY

Where are you now in relation to your goal?
How would you describe your current performance?
What main factors contribute to your current ability?
What may be holding you back from finding a way forward?

OPTIONS

What ideas do you have for moving towards your goal?
What other options are there? What else might you do?
How do the pros and cons of these options compare?
If anything was possible, what approach would you take?

KNOW

ADVANTAGES of FLOW COACHING

COACHING CONVERSATION
Want some help? OK. What’s your question? What’s the situation?
Who’s involved? And who’s affected? How? Why does it matter?
What’s your view? What’s their view? How do you differ?
If you could resolve it now, what would you do? What would you say?

TEAM

FLOW Coaching clarifies the CONTEXT before asking for a GOAL.
Performance is always contextual – it takes place in relation to
time, place and most importantly, PEOPLE. Understanding the
context first, makes defining the goal EASIER.

FLOW Coaching connects the INTERNAL drive to succeed with the
EXTERNAL need to perform. Knowing what’s EXPECTED of you is
as important as knowing what you WANT. Aligning internal DRIVE
and external DEMAND makes Flow Coaching more PRODUCTIVE.

FUTURE

	
  

PRESENT

FLOW Coaching uses and improves the ABILITY TO LEARN. And in
today’s world, anticipating the FUTURE is as insightful as learning
from the PAST. By using and improving the ability to learn, Flow
Coaching increases the POTENTIAL TO SUCCEED.

FLOW

Refresh your goal: What do you want to do?… And what do you need to do?
How might you combine these in the most useful and effective way?
What’s the way forward? What will you do? Who needs to be involved?
Who will you talk to? What will you say? How will you know if it works?

FLOW Coaching grounds ACTION in CONVERSATION. Leaders know
that TALK is WORK. We make PROGRESS in WHO we TALK to and in
WHAT we SAY. The focus on ‘action-in- conversation’ makes Flow
Coaching more PRACTICAL, AUTHENTIC and HUMAN.

And finally… What new ideas or insights about the topic, the situation or
yourself can you take from this conversation?

WILL

Of all the options considered, which ones might you action?
What might you do first? How will you start? And when?
How will you ensure that you do this? What support might you need?
How will you track and measure your progress?

And finally… FLOW Coaching ends with moment’s REFLECTION to
consolidate PROGRESS. This makes it more PRODUCTIVE.
