The Coaching Clinic

Adding coaching skills to an executive or manager’s repertoire gives the executive or manager the tools necessary for supporting direct reports and colleagues through change. Coaching is so effective because it

Supports direct reports and colleagues in finding solutions and strategies that work best for them,
Reduces direct reports’ stress by increasing buy-in and a sense of control,
Reduces the manager’s stress because the manager does not have to have all the answers, and
Makes the most of human resources by getting direct reports and colleagues’ best thinking.

“Great session — would recommend to all managers!” Carey Tarbell, Vox Global

The Coaching Clinic may be the best hours of class that I have had in a very long time -- it achieved my objective of transforming a speculative abstract exercise to an excellent, useful, and sustainable method for coaching. The role plays were invigorating, interesting and very helpful. Coaching is infinitely more important and more needed than I originally thought. Thank you Anne. Warren Davis, New York.

More from Warren: “Brilliant” and “Useful”are the words that describe this program: Anne is extremely competent and she conducts the session with an enthusiasm and earnestness that sets a very high standard. We worked through breaks and went beyond the prescribed schedule. I tend towards cognitive drift whenever I attend seminars, but there wasn’t a nanosecond that I was not engaged and attentive.

Overall, I learned that coaching is an art, but you must first embrace the skills and internalize a specific attitude. Having had many experiences with people who called themselves coaches, I now know two things: first, specific business experience, regardless of how extensive or how successful, does not make someone a coach. Second, a substandard coach is worse than no coach at all. At the same time, coaching is essential for anyone who wants to improve and grow. It is the razor’s edge.
