NAFA Carolinas Chapter & SGFMA State Conference
During the program we addressed Coaching Strategies. In addition to the Oreo Model shared above, we reviewed a Carnegie Coaching Model. This strategy that I created blends five of Mr. Carnegie’s human relation principles to help coach someone towards a change. If you are familiar with 360° feedback, then consider this as 360° coaching. This strategy can be used w/ peers, supervisors or subordinates. The key is to be sincere, calm & professional.
-
Use the person’s name.
-
Give honest, sincere appreciation.
-
Make the fault seem easy to correct.
-
When you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
-
Appeal to their nobler motives.
Who is the person you would like to identify for a coaching opportunity? What is your first step and outcome desired? I encourage you to write down what you want to say and practice it out loud, that way you can see how it sounds. Invest time for courageous conversations through a coaching dialogue and you will begin to see relationships and performance improve.
