Build These 4 Conversational Skills for a Coaching Culture 1. Listen to understand. When supervisors listen to colleagues, they should be aware of their own agenda. Instead of trying to promote that agenda, listening to understand involves listening with an open mind for facts, feelings, and values. 2. Ask powerful questions. As 2 people delve into a conversation, they can uncover new insights by making inquiries that stretch the other person’s thinking. Encourage “coaches” to begin their questions with “what” or “how” to tap into feelings and values that encourage reflection. 3. Strike a balance between challenge and support. Listening to understand doesn’t mean listening to agree. Supervisors can show their support by restating the facts and values they hear. When 2 people have a shared trust built on psychological safety, they are able to ask tough, challenging questions that uncover unexamined assumptions. 4. End your conversation with clear next steps. Supervisors can establish a sense of accountability by agreeing to next steps. That can be as easy as committing to one small action item that moves the issue forward and demonstrates that the supervisor values the facts and emotions shared by the individual being coached. #coaching #icf #ccl

💯My leadership style is anchored in my interest in developing people and providing my team with opportunities to leverage their strengths and realize their full potential. I am grateful to have had mentors and coaches who have modeled the way for me to develop as a mentor and coach. Further, I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to take Doy Charnsupharindr's course Leader as Coach at the University of California, Davis - Graduate School of Management, which further allowed me to develop my coaching skills in my day-to-day interactions. #leadership #skillsdevelopment #conversationalskills #coachingculture #management #businessschool #leadershippresence #leadershipstyle #strengthsbasedleadership

Intentionally creating coaching cultures is an investment in your people that pays all kinds of dividends. When people feel supported, they have more honest conversations, take more risks, and find better and more creative solutions. #coaching #leadershipcoaching #coachingleaders #coachingcultures #courageousleadership #leadershipdevelopment

Here are excellent tips for creating a coaching culture. While all 4 skills are important, my personal favorite is “listen to understand.” This skill focuses on active listening, opening your mind, dropping your bias and judgment before responding. Be objective and hear a different perspective, what can you understand from the other person’s perspective. Practicing this skill will help you respond versus react. #leadership #coaching #culture #listeningskills Thank you Center for Creative Leadership & Lisa Cavanaugh for sharing great tips & insight!
