Live Action Coaching
At times it can be helpful for the leader to have their coach observe them working with others. The coach can either choose to give the leader feedback after the session or do “live action coaching” with the leader during the meeting.
Many leaders find themselves in a reactive position waiting to get the information they need to reach their objectives. CECCG coaching is designed to put the leader in a position to pro-actively get the information they need to be successful. A key step is developing the competency to gather and integrate feedback from superiors and peers. In order to build those feedback skills we recommend that the client interview key stakeholders (e.g. senior management and/or peers) regularly. Ideally, the coach and client would co-design and conduct one or more interviews together during the coaching process.
Observations and live action coaching are very helpful in enhancing the leader’s ability to create committed and aligned action. The coach can support the leader to improve public speaking and or meeting leadership by attending a meeting the leader is hosting.
