Initial
Consultation
The initial consultation is used
to formulate the purpose and goals of the coaching program.
At this time the roles and mutual requirements will be agreed
upon.
Assessment
The assessment process begins with
in-depth interviews with the person being coached and his/her
supervisor.
Based on the results of these interviews,
appropriate assessment techniques will be selected to determine
the needs of the person being coached. Assessments include:
- Paper and pen profiles
- On-line assessments
- In-depth interviews are done with other
superiors, peers, colleagues, and direct reports.
Development of Coaching
Plan
A potential plan is developed with
the person being coached and discussed with the appropriate
supervisor. This plan includes how progress will be measured.
Since coaching is a process, it takes time to bring about
the desired changes, a six-month commitment is recommended.
Implementation
Frequency of individual coaching
sessions is arranged to meet the needs of the client. Sessions
can be held in person or over the phone.
Evaluation
The first evaluation occurs midpoint
through the coaching program. A final evaluation is completed
at the end, using measuring tools agreed upon earlier. There
are no binding contracts; mutual trust is an important component
to the success of the coaching.
