This presentation explores two coaching capacities that shape the quality of the entire conversation: Agreement Setting and Presence. And, how these elements of coaching increase partnering in a coaching conversation. We will look at how a clear, co-created agreement helps both the coach and the thinker get oriented to what matters, why it matters, and what would make the conversation useful. From there, we will explore presence, as the coach’s ability to stay grounded, curious, responsive, and connected to the thinker. Along the way, we will touch on bias, cognitive load, self-regulation, and co-regulation, and why these matter if we want coaching to support the thinker to do the work of creating the dots, connecting the dots, and owning the dots.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
? How a strong agreement gives the conversation direction.
? How presence helps the coach stay in real partnership.
? And, why insight is stronger when the thinker does the work.
