Coaching Coaching can be defined as the
facilitation of mobility. It is the art of creating an environment, through conversation that facilitates a process by which a person can move toward their desired goals in a fulfilling manner.
W. Timothy Gallwey

How to coach:
Coaching is about: Being in Rapport Listening Asking Powerful Questions
Using Powerful Language Dancing in the Moment Holding People Accountable

Rapport
It’s about the other person…it’s not about
you
Develop rapport by asking questions
about the other
person….entering their world.

Listening Listening for meaning
We can listen at 500 wpm, people can speak at 200 wpm.
Internal dialog will make it impossible to listen.

Use Silence…… & l i s t e n

Powerful Questions (open ended)
….A sample: What do you want ? What do you propose to do ? How will this be a benefit to the
project ? Think about somebody you know who
has..? Has there ever been a time when…?

Opened Ended vs Closed Questions…
Open Ended typically begin with:What, When, Where, How… etc.
Closed Questions typically begin with:
Do, Can, Will…etc.
© 2002 Copyright John Kaman & Associates [email protected]
Telling or asking closed ended questions saves people from having to think. Asking open ended questions causes them to think for themselves.
Coaching questions compel attention for an answer, focuses attention for precision and creates a feedback loop. Instructing does none of these.

Power of language
Powerful Words:Yes No I don’t knowAnd I will / I won’t Choose
Ineffective Words Maybe Hopefully We’ll see But Have to Should

Tips….Project Manager as Coach
Ask open ended questions and be willing to wait for the answer ….(use silence)
Listen for the message that is being sent, and the message
beneath the message. (it is not about you, it is about the other person).
Learn to trust your intuition.
Project Management is a team effort so use “we”, or the “team”, not “I”.
