READ:  ICF Core Competency 3: Establishes and Maintains Agreements

  • Divided between setting up the coaching relationship, and during the coaching session.
  • Differences: 
    • New competency mentions the stakeholders with respect to sponsored coaching relationship
    • About setting up the engagement
    • Mentions compatibility – are you the best person for the job? 
    • What are the measures of success? Agreed upon at the start of the relationship
  • Really about ability to facilitate a process – can you keep the process going so that client and stakeholder get the results they are looking for
  • ASK your clients: What brings you into coaching? What do you know about coaching? What do you want to know about my coaching practice & background? 
  • Ability to break down coaching in everyday terms – not technical or a checklist
  • Coaching contract and definition of coaching in their own ways -- this should before you sign an agreement with the client (no jargon, explain fully)

Questions

  • What ways do you set up your coaching relationship?
  • How do you explain coaching to clients? (before, during, and after)
  • What are your best practices for contracting with clients?
  • What experiences have you had with sponsored coaching?
  • What is critical to “educate” the coachee on?
  • How do you provide awareness of the coaching practice or process? (e.g. introduce a tool, offer observations, etc.)
  • What ways do you probe further to the PCC and MCC level?
  • What have you learned about alignment with clients?
  • What do you want to be referred to (as a coach)?

READ:  ICF Core Competency 3: Establishes and Maintains Agreements

  • Divided between setting up the coaching relationship, and during the coaching session.
  • Differences: 
    • New competency mentions the stakeholders with respect to sponsored coaching relationship
    • About setting up the engagement
    • Mentions compatibility – are you the best person for the job? 
    • What are the measures of success? Agreed upon at the start of the relationship
  • Really about ability to facilitate a process – can you keep the process going so that client and stakeholder get the results they are looking for
  • ASK your clients: What brings you into coaching? What do you know about coaching? What do you want to know about my coaching practice & background? 
  • Ability to break down coaching in everyday terms – not technical or a checklist
  • Coaching contract and definition of coaching in their own ways -- this should before you sign an agreement with the client (no jargon, explain fully)

Questions

  • What ways do you set up your coaching relationship?
  • How do you explain coaching to clients? (before, during, and after)
  • What are your best practices for contracting with clients?
  • What experiences have you had with sponsored coaching?
  • What is critical to “educate” the coachee on?
  • How do you provide awareness of the coaching practice or process? (e.g. introduce a tool, offer observations, etc.)
  • What ways do you probe further to the PCC and MCC level?
  • What have you learned about alignment with clients?
  • What do you want to be referred to (as a coach)?

  • Managing emotions, using intuition for benefit of client
  • To evaluate, I will look at the “phrasing of intuition”: is there room for the client to say I’m wrong?, am I being sure it doesn’t sound like fact when I deliver it?
  • Be physically and mentally prepared for a session
  • Asking for clarity when something a client says “stands out”. Example: a coach is nodding, but has a confused look on their face. Don’t just brush over something.

Questions:

  • How are you building a reflective practice grounded in continued learning? 
  • What is your “wind up/down” process? 
  • How are you listening for permission (by the client)?
  • What ways do you check your emotional “level” with clients? (balance)
  • How does your context/culture influence your coaching practice? (on the exam)
  • How do you seek help/support for difficult clients? (coaching mindset)
  • How do you let your intuition go? 
  • How do you physically and mentally prepare as a coach?

WATCH: Dr. Frances Penafort, MCC for ICF Core Competency 1: Demonstrates Ethical Practice [VIDEO]
READ: Link to the ICF Core Competencies (Updated)


Three ways to demonstrate an ethical practice: 

  • Focus on self: how much of yourself do you want to bring into the coach/client relationship? What is your level of honesty, professionalism, and integrity? How are you showing up as a coach? How are you honoring others' identities as a coach?
  • Focus on the relationship: how are you showing empathy, care, and nurturing the coach/client relationship? How can you be sure you are honoring the identities of the client? How are you nurturing the relationship?
  • Follow the system: believe in the structure, policies, and competencies of ICF. Coach the person; not the problem. T to the P  (Trust the Process)

Resources:

Questions to reflect on as a coach:

  • How might your identities impact your coach/client relationship? 
  • What will you do if your identities/experiences are blocking you from being your best coach self? 
  • How do you create a space for a client to share their identities? 
  • What curious questions have you used when building the client relationship?
  • How do you seek help as a coach? 
  • How are you better understanding/growing within the ICF system? 
  • How are you setting up your coaching practice in an ethical way? (e.g. parent/sponsor for coaching) 
  • How are you keeping things confidential?

Plus encourage your clients to ask you questions during the exploration session:

  • What curious questions do you have for me?
  • What can I share about my experience?

We talk about coaching questions to hold clients accountable and practices that enable clients to check-in with themselves for their own action steps beyond a coaching session.


Question for coaching accountability:

  • By the end of our time today, what would you like to have us achieve?
  • What would you want to discover in this session that would be useful for you?
  • How could we quantify this or make this measurable?
  • What can I help you with between now and the next time we talk?
  • What are you going to do next?
  • What changes are you making from what you’ve learned today?
  • What would have allowed you to take action?
  • What can help you move forward?
  • What was holding you back?
  • What prevented you from taking the next step?
  • What did you learn from not doing?
  • What are the small steps to get there?

Lessons Learned:

  1. Accountability is unique to each client -- let them decide next steps
  2. Give your clients the questions you asked where they said “I don’t know.”
  3. Offer the recordings for clients to listen back
  4. Your success as a coach does not depend on your client’s accountability or follow-through
  5. Bottom line: Encourage your clients to show up to do the work with you, the coach. That is what it is all about!

Liz helps their clients to learn about themselves, to investigate their feelings and beliefs, and to build a practice of taking small but powerful actions to create radical change in their leadership. Connect to Liz on LinkedIn & learn more about their coaching & consulting at: https://www.lizcruzconsulting.com/ 


We talk about going from a side project to a full-time business, charging what you’re worth in coaching, piloting coaching programs & being in community with these groups, and signaling to the clients to include equity and access within a coaching practice.

She is a career and life coach who helps ambitious perfectionists move forward in their higher education career, without throwing their quality of life out the window.

We talk about the hurdles for starting a coaching practice and how to remove business barriers like scheduling, sales, and matching these to our values. This was a helpful conversation to understand that coaching as a business is an evolution and process -- so it’s okay if we’re still figuring it out and finding our voice in our practice.  Connect and learn more about Isabeau’s coaching:

“They help the coach and the client to seek understanding and find clarity around any issue, challenge, or topics that a client brings to the session.” Via Dr. Katie Linder https://www.higheredcoaches.com/


Elements of powerful questions:

  • They are short.
  • They often start with “what” and “how” stems.
  • They are open-ended.
  • They are non-judgmental.
  • They come from a place of curiosity.
  • They are focused on the client.
  • They are goal-oriented.
  • They are followed by silence.

Phrasing powerful questions around:

  • Past / Present / Future
  • Learn / Be / Do

We chat a bit about “fillers” vs. blunt questions, and how we are thinking about defining terms and comparison when in our own coaching practice. 


Tools we compare in this episode -- specifically to know the “how” and “what” certain words mean to them:

Making Distinctions - differentiating between two things; comparing two concepts or ideas.

e.g., leadership vs. being a leader; community vs. relationship

Defining Terms - how the client describes a concept, term, etc.; e.g., “What do you mean by that?” or “Tell me more about that…”

  • Removing the “barnacles” or fillers: the extra words, context, or “scratchy bit,” that might get in a way of your question; e.g. “Help me understand...” {insert question}
  • Do these context pieces or summarization direct/lead our clients? 
  • Does empathy look different in a coaching relationship?
  • How much can our coaching clients take in with these questions?
  • Bottom line: Shut up, and just ask the direct question 
  • Mirroring behavior: “Emotions are real!”
  • Setting the tone with coaching clients to bring them up/down/even
  • Bottom lining: when a client is giving too much context, etc. to redirect the client
  • Checking in with clients: Just to say “Hi, How are you?”
  • Peeling back the onion in the “murky middle” of a coaching session
  • Put on your “opportunity overalls” -- let’s get to work!
  • Self-reflection tool for making distinction
  • Do we not spend enough time thinking about words?

  • Let the client lead; trust the client
  • Raw feelings/emotions: to dig in or not?
  • Time in practice coaching sessions

All The Feels

What happens if you recognize your coaching client needs to talk more about emotions rising or feelings coming up related to issues from the past -- we would refer out to therapy:

Visual representation of self as a coach via video conferencing: 

  • How should we emote as a coach?
  • How do you keep your facial expressions neutral?
  • Top model style: Tongue to the roof of your mouth and shoulders back

Storytelling

“Not needing to hear story” [in coaching]

How does the story fit into or does not fit into coaching?

Story opens up the ideas, examples, and emotions related to the “How” and “what” questions.

Comparison of emotions or ideas from the past to now.


Podcasts:

Working It Out with Mike Birbiglia

What story is on a loop in your head from childhood?


Hooked on Phonics

What’s influencing your thoughts, mood, or mental space?

Is this information seeking for yourself OR helping a client make connections?

We don’t need the tea spilled in coaching.


What were we doing 3-5 years ago that got us to where we are today?

Great question for learning what time & perspective 


Other coaching styles -- some include storytelling, metaphors, etc. 

E.g. Coach: Katy Peplin https://www.thrive-phd.com/

Season 1 in Coach to Coach Podcast


Fishbowl Coaching: similar to fishbowl discussions you have 1 person observing and the other two practice being the coach and coaching client. Things we learned:

  • Nimble coaching: improv, just listen & ask powerful questions without an agenda
  • Sticking to an agenda: how does this impact getting deep with this structure?
  • Powerful questions: phrase questions how we would approach and ask these open-ended questions
