Judgements

Judgements In Management & Coaching, Good or Bad?!

Judgements have their uses. Especially when you want polarity, the ‘yes’/’no’ options for an answer. For example, Judgement in logical decision-making or Project Management contribute massively to success. But do they always? No. So why do I celebrate Einstein as a genius of ‘letting go judgement’ in order to find brilliant solutions? Find out here. Continue reading Judgements

CBT coaching

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is predicated on looking at the human reactions to events rather than the events themselves. Performance Coaches are of course already doing this and in meta-coaching (Hall) this represents one set of a panoply of interventions regarding the perceptions and ‘frames’ of the coachee. CBT methodology involves ‘Socratic’ questioning to create discovery. Again we see links with best practice in coaching where questions are used for the benefit of the coachee’s self-understanding rather than the benefit of (for example) a very poor coach who is struggling (and misguided) to decide where to ‘lead’ the coachee.

Reflective Language

Language that reflects back the coachee’s own words is a win-win formula for success. This is called Reflective Language. The coach does not use up mental activity in interpreting and the coachee does not have to detach from the ‘experience’ they may be having in order to worry about the meaning of the words (interpretation of semantics) the coach is using. Reflective Language is very standard and used gracefully by all the best coaches I know. Coachees do not notice Reflective Language, but observers do notice! Continue reading Reflective Language
