Getting the Most from Your Coaching Sessions

• Plan to not be interrupted for the entire time of your coaching or LCP peer listening and practice sessions. This means not only no personal interruptions but also no work phone calls nor text messages. Please communicate to anyone who might interrupt that this is a time that you cannot be disturbed.
• Plan to clear space (emotional and on your calendar) immediately after your coaching or LCP peer listening and practice sessions. You might want time to transition to the next thing or to simply process (journaling or reflecting) what came up. You will get more out of these sessions if you build this time into your calendar appointments. Please communicate with anyone who might have access to your calendar that this is not “open” time to be scheduled over; this is part of the coaching experience.
• Each session will include the following:
  
  • Check-in
  • Updates on any insights or shifts from last session
  • Share key leadership issues or challenges you are facing at this time
  • Constructivist Listening Time: Coachee will have designated listening time.
  • Optional: Coachee will give listening attention to your Coach to develop listening skills.
  • What worked well in the session? Anything to adjust next time?
  • Closing
• Coach and Coachee will collaborate to determine agreements for documentation of sessions. If desired, notes will be documented on the Coachee’s confidential Asana board. No content shared during Constructivist Listening turns will be documented.
• Coaching sessions are designed to meet the needs of the Coachee. The Coachee will determine the agenda. The Coachee is also responsible for using the session to shift behaviors, implement actions and be accountable for achieving their goals for the coaching experience.
