"Put down the whistle...."
Building off of what we learned in 's podcast (You can find it in the classroom!) here is a little more about why/how coaching is not about fixing.
Coaching is not about fixing a problem or "fixing" a person. It's a developmental process focused on helping individuals grow, enhance their performance, and achieve their goals. It's about unlocking potential, not repairing flaws. Coaching emphasizes self-discovery, alignment with values, and action towards desired outcomes.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Coaching is a developmental process: It's about helping individuals learn, evolve, and improve their skills and abilities.
  • It's not a quick fix: Coaching requires effort, commitment, and a willingness to engage in self-reflection and action.
  • Focus on strengths: Coaching can help individuals identify and leverage their strengths to achieve their goals.
  • Not a judgment or critique: Coaching should be a supportive and encouraging process, not one that focuses on blame or negativity.
  • Empowering individuals: Coaching helps people become more resourceful and capable of solving their own problems.
  • Not a one-size-fits-all approach: Effective coaching is tailored to the individual's specific needs and goals.
Essentially, coaching is about empowering individuals to become the best versions of themselves, not about making them "less broken".
A great little article of course.....
