How Do I Know if Quick Hits Coaching is for Me (or for my direct report)? We would all love to have a couple of coaching sessions and call it good; and for many of us, that's all that is needed. Some situations however require more. Quick Hits Coaching is intended to be used for an occasional coaching need or as follow-up sessions after a coaching package (contract) is complete. It is not intended to take the place of a comprehensive coaching package with regular one-on-one coaching sessions (and 360 degree feedback when applicable). To know the difference, ask yourself the following questions. If
the answers to most of these questions are "yes," you may want to
consider a coaching package with regularly scheduled
sessions, instead of Quick Hits.
If you are the client: - Do I have a long term goal that I'd like to achieve?
- Do I want to be a more effective leader, communicator, etc.?
- Are there other things that I would like to be more effective at doing?
- Do the outcomes I want or plan for elude me?
- Is there an ongoing struggle or recurring pattern that I am dealing with that needs resolution?
- Is my daily work life or relationships with others impacted
- because of my behavior,
- because of the situation I am in,
- or because of my inability to address situations?
- Do I continuously struggle with work/life balance?
- Do others frequently misunderstand me or my intentions?
If you are the stakeholder (looking to obtain coaching for someone else): - Does this person lead well but needs focus and planning when it comes to long-term goals?
- Does this person require an objective sounding board for facing ongoing corporate challenges?
- Is this person in charge of or in the middle of a major change?
- Is this person high potential with a need for ongoing grooming?
- Do you or others struggle to connect with this person on a regular basis?
- Does this person have a history of friction or inability to meet goals?
- Are there ongoing challenges that need addressed with the person being coached?
- Are there gaps in performance that need to be addressed and worked on by the person being coached?
- Does this person's approach, actions, behavior or communication style lead to misunderstandings or have negative impacts?
- Does 360-degree feedback show a discrepancy in how this person perceives him/herself vs. how others perceive him/her?
- Is the team or organization suffering because of this person's approach, actions or behaviors?
Stakeholders: Quick Hits Coaching is not designed to address performance issues--especially where there is a history of recurrence. If "performance coaching" (coaching to correct a situation or patterns of behavior) is being considered, below are some additional questions for stakeholders to ask themselves before hiring a coach for another person: - What concerns do you have about this person's actions, performance, behaviors, etc?
- What have you done to address the situation with this person?
- How have you communicated your expectations to this person?
- Have you been clear and did you check for agreement or understanding?
- Have you communicated the impact of this person's behavior (to the company, to the individual, to others)?
- If not, how could you do so?
- Does this person know what you expect of him/her?
- Does this person understand and share your vision?
- Are you both in agreement about the desired outcomes (for him/her, for the company, etc.)?
- Have you had a conversation with this person about coaching?
- Is coaching perceived as a positive process by this person?
- Is this person open to coaching?
- What more do you need to do to address the situation?
If you are still unsure about whether you need Quick Hits or a Coaching Package, feel free to try a couple of quick hit sessions and see how it goes. If there are things left to be resolved, you can always sign up for a coaching package later.
