We have found the Secret Sauce! It is quality coaches! Quality coaches believe there is not just one size that fits all when it comes to coaching. Situational Leadership adjusts the approach to best fit the needs of those we coach. Not everyone in the pack can pedal at the same pace; Some people are in their stride while others have to pedal a lot harder to keep up. Our job as coaches is to help people find their stride. To do this, we have to know everyone's cadences and meet people where they are.

Exhaustion can be directly related to our perception of success. As coaches, we are vessels used to assist in other people's growth. The minute coaching becomes about us, we are no longer serving. The fruit of the labor of coaching is seeing change. However, the fruit of our deposits may not produce until years later. As coaches, we need to find our identity in our intentions rather than the success of others.

Strengths can be used as an excuse to not do things that may be difficult. Staying comfortable with just our strengths can prohibit our growth. To illustrate this, we use the Helicopter Effect, which describes a helicopter's ability to lift things that are significantly heavier than itself. The power is in the blades, which is he helicopter's strength. The blades are used to leverage and lift significantly heavy objects. How do we cable people's strengths to something that needs to change? Strengths can be used to improve other weaknesses.

Coaching is challenging... in a positive way. A big challenge can be engagement. We have to listen with our eyes and squint with our ears. Our power is found in the questions and not in our statements. This is the key to engagement.

Uncontrolled emotional disruption is commonly labeled as bad behavior. But if we reframe this bad behavior, we discover the bad behavior is actually a strength that has been overused. What is the root behind this bad behavior? It always starts with intent. Bad behavior is actually a possible strength and people operate out of their strengths. To see this, we have to be intentional to not let the uncontrolled emotional disruption, disrupt us.

Monologue Coaching. It is an easy trap. Those that do you not engage in the monologue, will not receive the coaching processes being delivered.

Our brains often operate like computers, pushing out tickets with a singular answer. People are more than just one or two options. Is there a room for a third category in the middle? Maybe a fourth or fifth category? Our brains have the capacity to develop several different scenarios with a "terabyte to the 12th power" as we call it.

Why does someone not do what they are directed to do? We have to triage and find out by asking the right questions. Is it a matter of will or skill? Sometimes the lack of skill leads to the lack of will. Will cannot be taught and skill cannot be ignored. So how do we solve this problem?Find out in this season of Coaching KUESTions with Tom Toney and Matt MarvinFollow the KUEST Student Leadership movement here:https://www.kuest.orgFacebook and Instagram: @kuestleadershipContact us at admin@kuest.org or 614-636-1589Support the show
