Thinking hurts…
and training too…

Basic principles of coaching:
what not to forget
What a coach does not do
What a coach does
He does not bring his own content (topics, opinions,
ideas, advice…)
Listens: sees the world through the eyes of a coachee
(ALPHA)
He neither evaluates
nor interprets
Uses questions to further express the thoughts of
a coachee (OMEGA)

The GROW model
•Goals: What would you like to have happen? (both in real life and during the interview)
•Reality: How are things going right now? How is it happening now?
•Options: What are possible solutions? What can be done…?
•Will: What exactly are you going to do and when?

How to correctly formulate a goal
•Positively formulated – the brain cannot stop thinking (one cannot stop thinking of a pink
elephant). It is more advantageous to think about what I want rather than what I do not want -
thoughts turn into experience and action. What do you want instead?
•Under the influence of the coachee - I cannot change the attitude of the other but mine only
(scale 1-10 - How much can you influence that?)
•Results-oriented rather than activity-oriented - it's more motivating. What does it bring to you?
Activity-oriented: I want to come to meetings on time. Results-oriented: I can rely more on myself.
Others can rely on me.

SMART-ER
•Specific - What specifically…?
•Measurable - How do you know you already have it? (a concrete example of what is different)
•Achievable - How big challenge is that? How big do you want it to be?
•Realistic
•Time-bound - When do you want it to happen? (to fulfil the goal?)
•-------
•„Ecological“ - Who will be affected? How will your surroundings be affected?
•Recorded

A few recommendations when asking questions…
•Use open-ended questions (so as to avoid „yes/no“ reaction)
•Try to avoid the question WHY? – it directs attention to the past, there are negative connotations
from childhood (we often heard the question in an accusing sense), it may evoke a defensive
reaction or the reaction of escape, aggression
•It is reasonable to use the words of the coachee – you can avoid (dis) interpretation
•Use verification questions - What do you want to work on today? So what is it about?
