Six Steps in the Interactive Coaching Process:

1. Creating Focus For The Session: During this step, you and your coach will come to an agreement about the focus of your coaching work. Usually the thing that is most weighing on your mind is the best topic to coach around. Any area that you are not completely clear about can be a good coaching scenario, including the exploration of new opportunities. For example: time and resource management; loss of revenue production; lack of motivation; new business opportunities; or managing people/expectations etc.
2. Identifying What Success Looks Like: It is important for you and your coach to know when you are making progress. This step usually will be a concrete expression of what success looks like to you. For examples, it can be as simple as having greater clarity about the situation or as exact as a step-by-step plan of action.
3. Discovery: In this stage, you simply talk about your thoughts and reflections around your coaching topic. The coach listens and offers feedback. Along the way, the coach will ask timely questions and help you stay focused on the coaching topic.
4. Awareness: As you talk about coaching topics, you will gain new insight and awareness. As you gain clarity about a situation, you will naturally begin to gain confidence about what you need to do as a cleaning supply professional.
5. Summary: At the end of the coaching meeting, your coach will provide a time for you to reflect back over the process. This reflection time helps to truly identify what is most important to you as a cleaning supply professional and to cement those things in your mind.
6. Next Action Steps: Moving forward and making progress is one of the major benefits of a professional coaching relationship. Creating a list of tangible Next Action Steps creates a clear path to follow and allows your coach to help in the accountability process.
