In this episode Cal continues Thomas Leonard's list of 100 Coaching Mistakes You Can Avoid.
- Passively coaching and responding during the coaching sessions instead of asking for more (much more) from the client
- Focusing on tactical matters or details when strategic coaching is needed, and vice-versa
- Being too nice/patient to the point that you are not saying what needs to be said
- Slipping into the role of motivator or cattle prod of your clients, instead of being their collaborative partner
- Working too hard to make your clients successful instead of inspiring/challenging your client to do that for themselves
- Not setting specific enough goals or focusing enough on performance (unless client wants a discovery-type focus)
- Not directly and immediately addressing the client's personality problems, communication flaws, bad attitude or resistance
- Not knowing or asking the right question(s)
- Accepting what the client says at face value, without clarifying or asking for evidence
- Coaching clients as if they are all the same.
Remember the three Rs: Rate, Review and "Rubscribe"
