Revolutionizing Career Coaching: The Power of Consistency and Learning Projects

We'll delve into the use of a learning project, a powerful tool that helps tie coaching sessions together, creating a sense of continuity and setting clear, achievable goals.
Our discussion will guide you away from topic-hopping, proposing instead a targeted, deliberate approach.

Because consistency breeds confidence and a positive association with coaching. So, buckle up and get ready to revolutionize your coaching conversations, providing an engaging and rewarding learning journey for your coachees.

When it comes to coaching career conversations, you know, one of the things that we need to do more than anything is to maintain a consistency. So when you're using a learning project, a learning project is something that ties coaching conversations together, such as next week come in with two examples of where you really improved your public speaking skills that will help you achieve your status of becoming a better speaker. So, when you think about coaching career conversations, learning projects really tie things together and it really maintains a consistency between coaching sessions. So a learning project should always start and end every coaching conversation, such as next week, janet, I want you to come in with two examples of where you felt like you really addressed conflict more readily, more plausibly, more professionally, maybe more thoughtfully, and how that might help you as it relates to your goal of becoming a director at the company. So the ultimate goal is to have these conversations and tie them together, and the way you tie them together is to have a learning project. So, again, when you end the learning project or end the conversation with the learning project, and then the next week you come in and say well, janet, last week I asked you to come in with two examples of where you identified or handled conflict more readily and how that might help you as it relates to your goal of becoming a director at the company.
Speaker 1:So ultimately, what you want to do when you have a career coaching conversation is to identify specific things that will help someone's career move in the direction that they want to go and where you want to help them go. Typically, you want to maintain a stick to it and it's a consistency, so you can't go one week from public speaking, the next week to conflict because there won't be traction. Our recommendation is to choose one topic, conduct 8 to 12 sessions over the time of a quarter, about 8 to 10 minutes each, specific to a particular area, because when there's traction, there's confidence. When there's traction, the association with the coaching becomes more positive.
