that aims to grow the individuals (or teams) awareness, responsibility and choice. Coaching procedures are usually cyclical and break down into three fundamental steps: reflection, exploration and action. The steps are repeated until a specific goal or objective is reached.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3c46939c wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\">Coaching Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coaching can be particularly appropriate at challenging times in an employee&#8217;s career, particularly at time of change, and is now well established as a learning and development practice. The advancing popularity of the profession reflects a need arising in business and society for people to find solutions to the complexities they face in their life, career and profession.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional coaching is designed to help people in organisations reach their potential. Growing staff capabilities, especially young entrepreneurs, is another way to grow the organisation&#8217;s capabilities. It is used when a safe and objective environment is required to discuss and give support when trying to identify development needs, plans and goals for individuals or teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often coaching is appropriate when dealing with issues of confidence, focus, commitment or frustration. If the employee lacks skills or abilities, or resources to complete tasks or reach goals, then a teaching approach may be more applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is clear evidence that through coaching we can impact the performance of a company, targeting key individuals who you want to grow and improve. The key benefits of coaching include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Helping individuals to identify realistic career goals that are clear and achievable. With the help of a coach they have a better chance of success by actively working towards those goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Providing a unique 1-1 environment which allows for quick and direct feedback in an encouraging and supportive manner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Providing a \u201csafe space\u201d relationship that should be one of guidance and support, allowing for complex issues to be dealt with more directly.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Building trust within a coaching relationship which may help individuals understand \u201cblind-spots\u201d that they may have towards their behaviour or attitudes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Coaching is a well-researched and well documented process. There are many courses, methods and models already designed. Here we present the basic steps common to most coaching approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually these steps are cyclical in nature, ensuring constant review until success is achieved. The basic steps are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reflection<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; exploring existing issues, problems, feelings, behaviours and visions. This step includes:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meeting the coach and establishing the parameters of the coaching session<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Setting a clear and agreed goal which is measurable and achievable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Exploration<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; seeking alternative approaches and options for issues\/targets identified. This step includes:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making specific plans and use SMART goals to help define them so that they are achievable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Refining the plan to ensure that it is practical and appropriate to your goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Actions<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; designed to alter existing patterns of behaviour or develop new skills. This step includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking actions as outlined in the agreed plan&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"

There are always areas of our attitude, behaviour and communication that we can work on. As a group, Entrepreneurs are often seen as somehow unique. Here we review the practice of coaching with a specific look at the entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coaching practice can be most effective in organisations where there is an effective coaching culture, and when adopted from a developmental perspective, rather than a remedial method to deal with a performance issue. It is based on one to one conversations and can be an effective method to nurture and grow talent for employees at any stage of their career, from young people to experienced executives. When it comes to working with entrepreneurs we need to ensure that the coaching process is supportive and helps support and develop the skills of the entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different models of coaching, each model will provide a process and often a catchy acronym to help you remember its primary stages. In reality, you can choose any of these models, with each having some distinct emphasis within the basic coaching process. Here we provide a brief overview of some of the primary models that exist. The following models are given as good examples for use in coaching:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The&nbsp;<strong>GROW model<\/strong>&nbsp;is a simple method for goal setting and problem solving. It was developed in the United Kingdom and has been used extensively in corporate coaching from the late 1980s. A coaching session based on the GROW model focuses on the following keywords:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Goal<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; goals can either be long\/short term and are set by the coachee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reality<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; it\u2019s crucial to ensure that there is clarity on the current situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Options<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; exploring options and alternative strategies or courses of action.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Will \/ Wrap Up<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; checking that the coachee has the WILL to carry out the actions \/ sessions need a WRAP UP (clarifying \/ gaining commitment).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The&nbsp;<strong>CLEAR model<\/strong>&nbsp;was formulated in the early 1980\u2019s by Peter Hawkins at Bath Consultancy Group and has many similarities to the GROW model. The CLEAR model is defined by an acronym as well:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Contracting<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; opening the discussion, setting the scope, establishing the desired outcomes, and agreeing the ground rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Listening&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; using active listening and catalytic interventions the coach helps the coachee develop their understanding of the situation and generate personal insight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Exploring&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; helping the coachee to understand the personal impact the situation is having on themselves and challenging them to think through possibilities for future action in resolving the situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Action&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; supporting the coachee in choosing a way ahead and deciding the next step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; closing the intervention, reinforcing ground covered, decisions made and value added. The coach also encourages feedback from the client on what was helpful about the coaching process, what was difficult and what they would like to be different in future coaching sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

encountered when using this procedure, we have interviewed an experienced coach to offer additional contextual information. These interviews look at the key questions around the practice and procedure of coaching, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is coaching?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the key benefits of coaching?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What makes a successful coach?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the success factors when coaching?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What should a new coach now when starting their career?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the pitfalls to be avoided?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can you create a good coaching environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are coaching techniques different depending on who are the coachees?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The questions are answered also taking into account the SMEs\u2019 perspective providing advice on how to identify which members of the staff would perform better with coaching and guidance and clarifying the relationships between them, the employees and the coach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The videos also provide a set of guidelines on how to make a coaching relationship work, how to cope with a resistance mindset, how to approach coaching models and adapt them to different situations. As flexibility is a key skill for a successful coach, a series of practical guidelines is also given in the videos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow

in favour of them before we invest time and energy and money into them. Here we show the literature and evidence around the area of professional coaching most relevant to the young or new employee or entrepreneur.&nbsp;There is no shortage of coaching material available, as it&nbsp;has been the subject of much research and there are numerous scholarly articles on business coaching, sports coaching and personal coaching. The following articles, websites, books and reports provide further information on the practice of coaching.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General principles of coaching include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is a non-directive form of development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It focuses on improving performance and developing the individual<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal factors may be included but its primary focus is on improving performance at work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coaching has both organisational and individual goals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It helps people better assess their strengths as well as their development areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a skilled activity which should be delivered by people who are trained to do so, this can include line managers and other staff including peers who are trained in coaching skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the resources included in this section&nbsp;make an explicit link to coaching practice. As such, they are relevant to academics, executive and business coaches, life coaches, positive psychology practitioners and professionals working across a wide range of organisations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img

is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Are all coaches trained and accredited?&nbsp;<\/summary>\n<p>While it is possible that some coaches are \u201cself taught\u201d there are formal accreditation bodies within Europe and the US. The European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) provides coaching and mentoring professional accreditation, as well as support and guidance to the coaching and mentoring profession and for its members.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What does coaching ask of an individual?&nbsp;<\/summary>\n<p>To be successful, coaching asks certain things of the individual, all of which begin with intention. Starting a coaching journey will require telling the truth to one\u2019s self and focusing on the tough questions, the hard truths and on success. Listening to one\u2019s intuition, assumptions and judgments. Being self-disciplined in order to replace one\u2019s behaviours, attitudes and ways of thinking with new and better ones that serve one\u2019s goals in a good way. Investing on personal strengths and overcoming limitations. Being active, decisive but also compassionate while experimenting with new behavioural and experiential patterns. Not taking oneself too personally and having a positive attitude to overcoming difficult situations and potential disappointments. Preserving one\u2019s composure and emotional control. Finally, courage to move forward and reach more than before while surpassing internal and external obstacles.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How does the process of coaching look like and how is it delivered?&nbsp;<\/summary>\n<p>Coaching usually begins with a personal interview to assess the individual\u2019s current opportunities and challenges, defining the scope of the relationship, identifying priorities for action, and establishing specific desired outcomes. More sessions may be done with each one lasting a previously agreed-upon length of time. Between sessions, the individual may be asked to complete specific actions that support the achievement of one\u2019s personally prioritized goals. The coach may provide additional resources such as relevant articles, checklists, assessments, or models, to support the individual\u2019s activities. The duration of the coaching relationship varies depending on the individual\u2019s personal needs and preferences.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How long does a coaching partnership last?&nbsp;<\/summary>\n<p>The duration of such a partnership varies depending on factors like the individual\u2019s or team\u2019s needs and preferences, the types of goals, the ways individuals or teams like to work, the frequency of coaching meetings and financial resources available to support coaching, etc. The length of working with a coach for certain types of focused coaching could be anywhere from 3 to 6 months. For other types of coaching, people may find it beneficial to work with a coach for a longer period. Sometimes even just a 60 minutes session with a professional coach can be beneficial.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Why is coaching growing so popular?<\/summary>\n<p>Coaching is gaining popularity in business because it is one of the most cost effective ways of making people, and organisations more effective. It demonstrates the commitment of the business to their people and avoids costly recruitment and retraining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is growing popular generally because people now expect to be able to do more, and to fulfill their dreams and goals. A coach helps people to do that. A coach is someone committed to your advancement and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Bill Gates to Eric Schmidt, leaders you\u2019d think would already have it all, recommend coaching. What used to be accessible and affordable only to an elite group has become mainstream as more coaches have entered the market for non-executive coaching in other niche markets. The push for quality through organizations like the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/coachfederation.org\/professional-coaches\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">International Coach Federation<\/a>&nbsp;(ICF), who certifies coaches that follow their rigorous standards further drives the increased trust in the coaching process.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How do I hire a coach?<\/summary>\n<p>A Checklist for Hiring an Executive Coach from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chiefexecutive.net\/hiring-an-executive-coach-be-aware-of-these-five-risks\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chief Executive<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set an end date: Before you begin, know when the coaching will end. Don\u2019t move the date unless it is well justified. Watch for signs of increasing dependency on the coach. Remind yourself \u2013 and the coach \u2013 that this, too, will end.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not \u2018one and done\u2019: Interview at least three candidates. Chemistry matters, as does interpersonal style and the ability to listen and to discern what is really being said. Coaching quality varies widely, so give yourself the benefit of choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your network: Personal endorsements based on past direct experience are key. Many executives have some experience with coaching and are happy to talk about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check references: Ask the coach\u2019s former clients what they did that was effective and whether they would re-engage with them. If a coach won\u2019t offer at least three references, do not consider using him or her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understand their background: Ask more than cursory questions about training. One coach I met made sure everyone knew he had a Ph.D. degree. When I pressed him about what specialty he took his degree in, he said with a grin, \u201cArt history, but I let people think I\u2019m a psychologist.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin with the end in sight: Have the coach walk you through a typical engagement. This should include some form of initial assessment, a goal- and milestone-setting process, a review process with other stakeholders, a schedule of progress review meetings, and a clear end date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anticipate the challenge: Be prepared to describe for the coaching candidate something you wish to get better at or a behavior you seek to understand more fully. Have them walk you through their approach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write it down: Make sure there is a one-page written coaching plan with goals and objectives. Review it monthly. Don\u2019t go off-track or off on a tangent.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Why is coaching needed?<\/summary>\n<p>Managing business has gotten more complex and is changing more rapidly. There simply is no longer the time to \u201clearn while doing\u201d or the margin of error to \u201clearn by making mistakes.\u201d A business coach can help to speed up the learning curve to guide a founder from his comfort zone towards business growth effectively. They have seen so many companies from the inside in their life, that they can help any coaching client to overcome their business and personal challenges.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coaching is the method of making people realize the heights they can achieve if only they kept persevering and putting proper effort. Mainly, coaching calls for a change of thinking and approach to a task. It\u2019s about getting the person think positively about his chances of achieving his goal. It includes employee orientation towards the workplace politics, and to assist in removing the barriers to work performance.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How is coaching different from consulting or mentoring?<\/summary>\n<p>A mentor is a senior person in the business who guides a junior person from their greater experience. A coach does not have to be a senior person in the client\u2019s line of business. The client has to know the business, not the coach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consultancy deals with the business system as a whole. A consultant\u2019s recommendations affect individuals indirectly. Coaching affects individuals directly. Coaching will very often be part of a consultant\u2019s recommendations for a business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What are some fundamental take away lessons from coaching?<\/summary>\n<p>The first lesson is how to solve your problems on your own as a business owner. The coach can be much more than a sparring partner or mentor. A coach can be one who motivates entrepreneurs to believe in themselves and in their ability and accountability to solve any problem they face.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second lesson for coachees is learning how networking works for them. How to start networking effectively and how to build a network of their own that fits their entrepreneur profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third lesson is acquiring a better and deeper insight into the entrepreneurial personality profile and what business skills and knowledge are necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the fourth lesson is about receiving assistance\/support in improving company performance and business skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How do you know if coaching is right for you?<\/summary>\n<p>To find out, start by outlining what you would expect to achieve in coaching. When someone has a fairly clear idea of the desired outcome, a coaching partnership can be a useful tool for developing a strategy for how to achieve that outcome with greater ease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since coaching is a partnership, also ask yourself if you find it valuable to collaborate, to have another viewpoint and to be asked to consider new perspectives. Also, ask yourself if you are ready to devote the time and the energy to making real changes in your work or life. If the answer to these questions is yes, then coaching may be a beneficial way for you to grow and develop.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#f3f3f3;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2b43bde3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<p class=\"page-nav-5 has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0de42d81bdabaf5afa957431faeaf880\" style=\"color:#8f13b0\">&lt; Previous Section: Useful Links<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"page-nav-1 has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0c945c9a5d6d09b2d4448495726145fb\" style=\"color:#8f13b0\">Back to Toolkit &gt;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Toolkit Contents Templates<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[16,22,25],"class_list":["post-652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sme","tag-development","tag-learning","tag-performance"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Image1-4.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":919,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652\/revisions\/919"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
