What really motivates people…
Your Company will offer 1,000 $ to employees who meet an additional
performance target… Imagine I am your manager, and I want to motivate you to
put-in the extra effort (and I know you are super busy already).
What should I tell you, to best motivate you?
1.‘Think of how you will spend these 1,000 $: you can buy something you want
right-away, no need to wait any more…’
2.‘Think of the increased security of having 1,000 $ in your bank account for
safety in case of problems…’
3.‘Think of what this 1,000 $ means: the Company recognizes how important
you are to its overall performance, it is its way to acknowledge your
contribution and thank you for it’

Your Company wants you to accept a new job that is crucial to its success…

1.‘Think about how much security this job provides; it is so important that the
Company will always need someone in this position’
2.‘Think about the visibility provided by this job; because the job is so
important, a lot of people will be looking up to you and your performance’

Who really listens to you? How?
www.greatness.coach
1. Focus totally (on eyes, tone, words, body-language, emotions) & match/mirror
2. Keep silent -3 seconds minimum- after the speaker finishes his/her sentence,
and never interrupt!
3. Stay neutral (do not express your views)
4. Paraphrase (= repeat what was said with your own words, to prove you listen)
5. Ask clarifying, open-ended questions (e.g. “tell me more”)
6. Summarize (to ensure your understanding)
Then you can give your opinion, and it will be listened to

What is Coaching? … and what it is not
Coaching
=
helping people increase their (self)awareness, set their goals,
think-through the obstacles and find their own solutions,
take action, perform better …
and then… shift towards continuous progress
Focus on: behaviour, performance & satisfaction
Coaching is not transfer of knowledge / on-the-job training
