The Coaching Process

by Eric Yaverbaum and Erik Sherman

Discussing the philosophical basis, if you will, of using the Socratic method to ask questions in coaching is like studying aerodynamics and then assuming you could fly a plane. There are important procedures and you need to have a grasp of them before you walk into a coaching session. Otherwise you could crash just as you think you're taking your group to new heights.

Look for a Purpose
Coaching is a tool for helping team members learn to examine what they do, find weaknesses, and seek answers to problems. What it cannot be is a regular activity that happens on a predetermined schedule.
