Coaching Profile

In sports, coaches encourage and enhance the talents and skills of individual athletes to contribute to a winning team effort. At the same time, the coach's skills and talents are elevated to take on new, exciting challenges. It's no different in business.

Becoming a good coach has both personal and professional rewards. A good coach can empower others to be more productive, achieve individual goals, and contribute to the company's vision. At the same time, an employee with good coaching skills is also on a journey of self-development; thus, they are usually more productive and effective, better able to work with peers toward common goals, and thus more promotable.

This Coaching Profile can be used:

• To improve coaching performance
• As a 360 feedback tool for developing coaches
• For a coachee to give input as to how he/she wants to be coached (to develop coach/coachee AND mentor/mentee relationship).

This profile is designed to determine your current coaching strengths in four areas: Communication, Focus on Others, Approach to Work, and Risk Tolerance. Once you examine your personal tendencies in each of these four categories, you will have a baseline to work from as you develop additional coaching skills. The instrument then guides you through the development of a personal action plan for each category.

As you develop coaching skills that encourage, reinforce, and constructively instruct others, you'll be rewarded with more productive alliances and enhance your ability to impact change.

The Coaching Profile can be applied to:
