 4-STEP PROCESS OF COACHING
OBSERVATION – The rater identifies a
performance gap or an opportunity to improve
DISCUSSION and AGREEMENT – Coach and
coachee agree on (1) problems to be fixed (2) an
opportunity to move job performance two notches
higher.
ACTIVE COACHING – Coach and coachee create
and agree on the action plan to address the gap
FOLLOW-UP – Setting follow-up sessions to
check on the status of the agreed on action plan.
CONDUCTING DISCUSSION AND AGREEMENT

Step 1 – Opening / Climate Setting / Establishing Rapport

(achieving a comfort level that encourages openness)

• Greet employee with a smile ; establish

 4-STEP PROCESS OF COACHING
OBSERVATION – The rater identifies a
performance gap or an opportunity to improve
DISCUSSION and AGREEMENT – Coach and
coachee agree on (1) problems to be fixed (2) an
opportunity to move job performance two notches
higher
ACTIVE COACHING – Coach and coachee create
and agree on the action plan to address the gap
FOLLOW-UP – Setting follow-up sessions to
check on the status of the agreed on action plan.
 WHY FOLLOW-UP?
 It provides opportunities to
remind employees about
goals and the importance of
these goals
 Periodic checks give you a chance
to offer positive Feedback
about the good things that
employees do
 These checks can help spot
small problems before they
become large ones.
More Guidelines and Tips in
Coaching
 Is there a difference?
MANAGING AND COACHING

Managing focuses on:

• Telling
• Directing
• Authority
Coaching focuses on:
• Immediate Needs
• Exploring
• A Specific Outcome
• Facilitating
• Partnership
• Long-term improvement
• Many possible outcomes
Performance Coaching is
NOT…
• advice giving and does not
involve the coach sharing their
experience or opinions
• a one time process
• fault finding and put the
employee down
Asking the right
questions will help the
coach to understand the
coachee and get to the bottom
of performance problems.

Two Forms of
Questions:
Open-ended
Closed-ended
 OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS

These questions invite

participation and idea sharing.
These helps the coach to
know the coachee’s feelings,
views and deeper thoughts on
the problem, and in turn help
to formulate better advice.
 OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS
• To explore alternatives:
“What would happen
if…?”

• To uncover attitudes:
“How do you feel about
our progress to date?”

• To establish priorities and

allow elaboration: “What
do you think the major
issues are with this
project?”
 CLOSED-ENDED QUESTIONS
These questions lead to
“YES” or “NO” answers

To focus the response:

“Is the program / plan on
schedule?”

To confirm what the other

person has said:
“So, your big problem is
scheduling your time?”
Like everything else,
Coaching skills improve
with practice. So take every
opportunity to practice.
