One thing I have found super helpful is the awareness that 'Structure has integrity' and therefore when I set a clear structure for the coaching process, it supports my client's growth. Coaching is a relationship of autonomy, we are equal, and my role as coach is to support clients in owning their power. When clients have clarity around the scope of support and services available, then this supports self-responsibility and ownership. Be clear in your coaching agreement about the session length, times, rescheduling, response times and methods for contacting you. Let the client know what to expect and how you can support them. Check in with clients, how you can best support them based on what works for them.

Als Coach ist es essenziell, deinem Kunden die Bedeutung von gegenseitigem Respekt zu vermitteln. Respekt schafft eine vertrauensvolle Atmosphäre, in der sich beide Seiten wohlfühlen und offen kommunizieren können. Wenn du deinem Kunden Respekt entgegenbringst, zeigst du Wertschätzung für seine Meinungen und Bedürfnisse. Dies fördert nicht nur eine positive Zusammenarbeit, sondern steigert auch die Motivation und das Engagement deines Kunden. Langfristig führt gegenseitiger Respekt zu einer stabilen und erfolgreichen Partnerschaft, in der beide Seiten voneinander lernen und gemeinsam wachsen können.

Als Coach ist es wichtig, klare Coaching Agreements mit deinen Kunden zu treffen. Ein zentraler Punkt dabei ist dein persönlicher Raum. Definiere klar, wann und wie du erreichbar bist. Zum Beispiel kannst du feste Zeiten für Coaching-Sitzungen festlegen und außerhalb dieser Zeiten nicht erreichbar sein. Erkläre deinen Kunden, dass es wichtig ist, Beruf und Privatleben zu trennen, um eine gesunde Work-Life-Balance zu gewährleisten. So schaffst du Transparenz und Respekt für deine eigenen Grenzen und förderst gleichzeitig eine professionelle und effektive Zusammenarbeit.

Liderar es generar emociones en los demás. Se ha hablado mucho de que los líderes son poco emocionales. El Coach de la nueva generación debe ser 100% emocional. Debe ser una persona que demuestre realmente sus emociones (de esta manera se ganara el respeto, atención y admiración de sus pares) para generar engagement en su gente. Nadie puede hablar de emociones si uno mismo no las demuestra. Al ser emocional, los coachees tambien seran emocionales y la conversación de emociones será moneda corriente en el feedback de Coach y Coachee. Cuando un Coach logre generar emociones genuinas en el otro, el trabajo empezará a dar sus frutos.

Mutual respect is key; encourage clients to express their needs while respecting your guidelines, fostering a harmonious relationship. Protect your personal space by informing clients of your working hours, emphasizing the importance of work-life balance.

El Feedback es un espacio Necesario para todo líder y Coach. Es importante que el feedback sea abierto, honesto y constructivo. Es decir, hablar con sinceridad, desde el corazón y con animos de construir en equipo. Tambien es importante abordar el espacio de llevar a cabo el feedback. No se puede pedir o entregar feedback en el pasillo del trabajo, en el baño o mientras almorzamos con más personas. El espacio de feedback tiene que ser seguro, confidencial, único (solo para las personas que participan) y con el objetivo de conversar abierta y honestamente.
