Open & Closed Questions
January 26, 2012
No comments
A Closed Question endorses a state of dual reality as it prompts a yes or no answer. Yes or no is a statement of a personal perspective that either agrees of disagrees with a question.

Best, Better, Good

The current teaching paradigm is to take good students and make them better educated, until they become the best that they can be. This process of educational development and training follows a path of being good, better & best. Teachers are realising that when you try to make a bad student better, they just get worse, [...]

A Statement of Intent is an affirmation of change. I do not need to state my intention to do what I am already experiencing. My current experience determines my current state of being. Developing & growing requires changing my current state for the better. It is a statement that I intend to be and become better. [...]

Coaching the Client is the only way to coach. The Coachee is always the client. They cannot be a Third Party that is nominated by the client. Coaching someone else is never a solution to my problem. Problem-solving is a management skill, not a Coaching Skill. When the Coach is drawn into problem-solving, they are [...]
Third Party Coaching

No comments
Third Party Coaching doesn’t work. Coaching is a partnership between two people, not three. A Coach guides and supports a client to overcome their own problems, not someone else’s. When the client has an issue involving a third party, the issue is the client’s, not the problem of the third party. The issue that the client has [...]
Directive Coaching

Directive Coaching is an oxymoron. Coaching is never directive. Managers and Directors set direction. Coaches guide and support the client to clarify and strategise their own direction.
