I didn't fully realize it at the time, but for the last 3 years, I've been coaching my team, my colleagues, my wife, my children in unlocking their potential and reaching their goals.
Coaching is not about giving the answers or providing solutions, it is about listening and asking powerful questions.
Everyone know how to lose weight, but not everyone wants to do it. By asking proper questions you can see what is holding you back from achieving your goals.
As much as questions help, I also teach some techniques to help them achieve their goals.
At my company the company sets general goals for each department. I'm coaching my team on how to reach some of these goals.
Unfortunately you don't get as much buy in from employees when it is not their goals, but instead of forcing them to work on these goals, I help them to see why it would be good for them to work on these goals.
Together with that I also help them set break through goals, which are completely up to them to decide what they would like to work on.
These are my favorite goals, as they have more commitment to achieving goals set by themselves.
I have monthly check-ins with my Team to help them track their progress and adjust or set new goals.
