Whether you are with your coachee or not when you're coaching them will depend on a number of variables, but there's a good chance these days that you are more likely to be in a virtual coaching room than sitting face to face with your coachee. Some telephone coaching still happens but not so much, these days.

In this episode, we discuss the pros and cons of both ways of working, and some things to consider as a coach. Whether you prefer to be in the room where it happens or you embrace the efficiency of being coaching online this conversation provides you with the opportunity to reflect on the different ways of working as a coach.

If you're talking to coachees about their role, their career or their work colleagues, you may find that they have quite narrow ways of viewing what works and what doesn't work in their team.

They may view the way they go about things as the right way and can't understand why other team members don't just behave in the way that they do. They may express concern, or frustration, at their team members' varying attitudes towards the work that needs to be done.

In this episode we explore why it's important to have some diversity of thought and behaviour within an effective team. Tom shares his knowledge of Belbin Team Roles, a concept and a tool that helps individuals and teams better understand how they might work more effectively together.

The conversation highlights the need for complementary skillsets and different ways of individual team-members operating in order to develop a team that is both cohesive and performing well.

As transformational coaches we very much focus on self-exploration and self-acceptance for the coachee; challenging their current thinking and helping them explore new perspectives; supporting them in finding new ways to go about doing things and encouraging them to become more who they really are.

That said, sometimes coachees may want to work towards a specific tangible goal, develop a realistic strategy or map out a practical plan, and, of course, we will look to coach them in planning and actioning their project and achieving their goal, whilst also inviting them to step back for a while and consider what the goal or plan means to them, and their future self.

In this episode we explore where we might start working with a coachee's goals and share some tips on how you might support a coachee who is presenting with this kind of coaching scenario.
