I FOUND IT FASCINATING THAT THE
BEST COACHES WEREN’T NECESSARILY
THE BEST PLAYERS …

AND SOMETIMES GREAT PLAYERS ARE
TERRIBLE COACHES

@Geek_Manager
THIS TELLS US…
SOMEONE CAN COACH YOU TO
PERFORM BETTER, EVEN IF THEY
ARE LESS EXPERT THAN YOU

get a brilliant coach
and mentor.

@Geek_Manager
What’s the Difference?
A MENTOR is someone with more experience
either generally or in a specific area, who can
give you advice. Often on big, long term topics.

A COACH is someone who is helping you to find
the best way forward based on what you already
know. Usually more immediate focus.

OUR FIRST COACHING
CONVERSATION…

@Geek_Manager
One simple way to change how you’re working…

RESIST ASKING “WHAT SHOULD I DO?”
AND INSTEAD
PROPOSE “HERE’S WHAT WE COULD
DO”

What’s Needed

@Geek_Manager
COACHING: GROW MODEL
GOAL

REALITY

WILL
OPTIONS
Meri Williams, ChromeRose

@Geek_Manager
The beauty is…

YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW MUCH TO
BE AN EFFECTIVE COACH
THE STRUCTURED CONVERSATION
DRAWS OUT WHAT THEY ALREADY
KNOW (BUT MAY NOT REALISE)

Meri Williams, ChromeRose

@Geek_Manager
YOU CAN BUDDY UP AND COACH
EACH OTHER TOO – OFTEN A GREAT
SOLUTION!

Really Useful Coaching: Stealing from Sports

Editor's Notes

  1. Micro Managers Are Like Poorly Designed SatNavs
  2. Then I became a people manager … and got worried that I would revisit the sins that I had suffered
