During ongoing coaching sessions, you and your direct report meet to discuss job performance or needed skills in more detail. Prepare for each session by agreeing on the desired outcome of the meeting and the topics you both wish to cover. During the sessions, remember that coaching is a partnership and requires a positive emotional bond. Cultivate that bond by:
- Keeping the tone positive
- Focusing on the opportunity for personal development
- Demonstrating your sincerity in wanting to help
- Sharing your advice, suggestions, and observations, and listening to the other person's responses and ideas
- Strengthening agreement on desired outcomes
- Gaining the coachee's agreement to create an action plan
- Setting up a follow-up date to review progress
