The
Skills
,
Explained
Each
skill
below
is
described
in
two
ways
:
what
it
is
,
and
what
it
looks
like
when
it
is
actually
being
practised
in
a
coaching
conversation
.
A
·
COMMUNICATION
CRAFT
6
SKILLS
Active
Listening
Listening
at
three
levels
simultaneously
:
the
facts
being
described
,
the
emotion
underneath
them
,
and
the
subject
that
keeps
being
avoided
.
It
means
tracking
what
is
not
said
as
carefully
as
what
is
.
In
the
room
:
You
can
summarise
the
coachee
'
s
last
four
minutes
back
to
them
in
two
sentences
without
losing
the
nuance
—
and
they
say
"
yes
,
that
'
s
exactly
it
."
Powerful
Questioning
The
ability
to
ask
a
question
that
opens
thinking
rather
than
one
that
confirms
your
own
hypothesis
.
Open
,
specific
,
and
free
of
a
preferred
answer
hidden
inside
it
.
In
the
room
:
"
What
would
you
have
to
believe
about
yourself
for
that
decision
to
feel
obvious
?" —
instead
of
"
Have
you
considered
just
talking
to
your
manager
?"
Clear
Communication
Saying
exactly
what
you
mean
,
in
language
the
other
person
already
owns
.
No
consulting
vocabulary
,
no
hedging
,
no
ornamental
qualifiers
that
soften
a
point
into
uselessness
.
In
the
room
:
"
I
noticed
you
changed
the
subject
twice
when
we
got
to
your
team
"
lands
harder
—
and
more
kindly
—
than
three
sentences
of
theoretical
framing
.
Constructive
Feedback
Observation
separated
from
interpretation
,
delivered
close
to
the
event
,
tied
to
something
the
person
can
actually
act
on
.
It
is
descriptive
and
forward
-
facing
rather
than
verdict
-
like
.
In
the
room
:
"
For
the
last
ten
minutes
your
answers
got
shorter
and
faster
.
What
was
happening
for
you
?" —
rather
than
"
You
seem
defensive
."
Storytelling
&
Framing
Offering
an
alternative
lens
on
a
situation
so
the
coachee
can
see
a
stuck
problem
differently
.
The
skill
is
in
the
timing
and
the
lightness
—
a
reframe
that
is
imposed
rarely
survives
contact
with
reality
.
In
the
room
:
"
What
if
this
isn
'
t
a
confidence
problem
but
a
clarity
problem
?"
offered
as
a
question
,
then
held
in
silence
while
they
test
it
.
Non
-
Verbal
Observation
Reading
the
signals
that
run
underneath
the
words
:
pace
,
breath
,
posture
,
pause
length
,
eye
movement
,
the
sentence
that
gets
restarted
.
Bodies
often
report
the
truth
before
language
catches
up
.
In
the
room
:
Noticing
that
a
coachee
'
s
speech
slowed
by
half
when
they
mentioned
a
particular
colleague
—
and
naming
the
shift
rather
than
the
conclusion
.

RELATIONAL
&
EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE
7
SKILLS
Empathy
Accurate
understanding
of
another
person
'
s
experience
without
collapsing
into
it
.
Empathy
is
not
agreement
,
and
it
is
not
absorbing
someone
'
s
distress
as
your
own
—
it
is
demonstrated
comprehension
.
In
the
room
:
"
That
sounds
like
it
cost
you
more
than
you
'
re
letting
on
."
Named
,
brief
,
then
returned
to
them
.
Emotional
Intelligence
Recognising
emotion
as
it
arises
—
in
the
coachee
,
in
the
group
,
and
in
yourself
—
and
choosing
a
response
rather
than
reacting
from
it
.
It
includes
knowing
which
of
your
own
feelings
belong
to
the
session
and
which
do
not
.
In
the
room
:
Feeling
a
flash
of
irritation
at
a
coachee
'
s
avoidance
and
treating
that
as
information
about
your
own
agenda
,
not
as
a
fact
about
them
.
Rapport
Building
The
capacity
to
establish
trust
fast
:
matching
pace
and
register
,
being
predictable
,
remembering
what
mattered
last
time
,
and
being
candid
about
your
own
role
in
the
relationship
.
In
the
room
:
The
coachee
volunteers
the
thing
they
were
planning
to
keep
to
themselves
,
in
the
first
twelve
minutes
.
Psychological
Safety
Actively
constructing
the
conditions
in
which
someone
can
say
the
risky
true
thing
without
paying
for
it
.
It
is
built
through
consistency
,
non
-
reaction
,
and
never
using
disclosed
material
as
leverage
.
In
the
room
:
A
coachee
admits
they
have
not
done
the
thing
they
committed
to
—
without
pre
-
emptively
explaining
,
apologising
or
softening
it
.
Cultural
Sensitivity
Awareness
that
culture
,
class
,
gender
,
generation
,
faith
and
organisational
context
shape
how
people
express
ambition
,
disagreement
,
emotion
and
respect
—
and
that
a
single
coaching
norm
is
not
universal
.
In
the
room
:
Recognising
that
direct
eye
contact
and
blunt
feedback
are
not
universally
read
as
engagement
,
and
adjusting
without
commenting
on
it
.
Boundary
Management
Clear
,
kind
limits
on
scope
,
time
,
availability
and
the
nature
of
the
relationship
.
Boundaries
protect
the
coachee
'
s
ownership
of
their
life
as
much
as
they
protect
yours
.
In
the
room
:
"
I
can
'
t
be
your
sounding
board
at
11
pm
on
a
Tuesday
—
but
I
can
be
fully
present
at
9
am
on
Thursday
."
3 / 6
Humility
Not
needing
to
be
the
expert
,
the
fixer
or
the
most
interesting
person
in
the
conversation
.
It
means
holding
your
own
insight
lightly
enough
that
the
coachee
'
s
conclusion
can
still
take
precedence
.
In
the
room
:
Having
a
genuinely
good
suggestion
and
asking
a
further
question
instead
,
because
the
coachee
is
two
steps
from
arriving
there
themselves
.
C

MINDSET
&
SELF
-
MANAGEMENT
6
SKILLS
Curiosity
Genuine
interest
in
how
the
other
person
'
s
world
actually
works
,
held
long
enough
that
your
first
explanation
is
allowed
to
be
wrong
.
Curiosity
is
the
discipline
of
not
finishing
someone
'
s
sentence
internally
.
In
the
room
:
"
Say
more
about
that
"
used
five
times
without
any
loss
of
interest
or
momentum
.
Presence
Full
attention
in
the
current
moment
—
not
planning
the
next
question
,
not
evaluating
the
last
answer
,
not
comparing
this
session
to
a
previous
one
.
Presence
is
what
makes
a
coachee
feel
genuinely
met
.
In
the
room
:
You
leave
a
session
unable
to
say
what
you
were
thinking
about
beforehand
,
because
you
were
not
thinking
about
anything
else
during
it
.
Growth
Mindset
Treating
capability
as
developable
rather
than
fixed
—
applied
both
to
the
coachee
'
s
situation
and
to
your
own
coaching
.
It
replaces
"
they
'
re
just
not
good
at
this
"
with
"
the
conditions
aren
'
t
there
yet
."
In
the
room
:
Responding
to
a
repeated
failure
with
"
what
did
that
attempt
teach
us
about
the
approach
?"
rather
than
"
what
went
wrong
?"
Self
-
Regulation
Managing
your
own
impulses
,
defensiveness
,
need
for
approval
and
desire
to
be
helpful
.
It
is
the
ability
to
notice
a
reaction
in
your
body
and
choose
your
next
move
rather
than
discharge
it
.
In
the
room
:
Letting
a
moment
of
criticism
land
without
defending
your
method
,
then
asking
what
the
criticism
is
protecting
.
Tolerance
for
Silence
Resisting
the
urge
to
fill
a
pause
.
Discomfort
with
silence
is
usually
the
coach
'
s
,
not
the
coachee
'
s
—
and
the
most
useful
sentence
of
the
session
is
often
the
one
that
follows
six
seconds
of
quiet
.
In
the
room
:
Asking
a
difficult
question
and
then
counting
slowly
to
ten
in
your
head
before
saying
anything
else
.
Resilience
Recovering
from
sessions
that
went
badly
,
feedback
that
stung
,
and
clients
who
leave
.
It
includes
the
capacity
to
keep
working
well
while
carrying
your
own
unfinished
business
.
In
the
room
:
Walking
into
the
next
session
clear
-
headed
twenty
minutes
after
a
session
that
went
sideways
,
without
carrying
the
residue
across
.

STRUCTURE
&
PROGRESS
5
SKILLS
Accountability
Holding
a
commitment
in
view
without
becoming
a
supervisor
.
The
art
is
in
making
the
follow
-
up
a
shared
inquiry
rather
than
a
compliance
check
,
and
in
being
willing
to
name
an
unkept
promise
plainly
.
In
the
room
:
"
We
agreed
you
'
d
talk
to
Priya
by
Thursday
.
What
happened
?" —
asked
with
interest
,
not
disappointment
.
Adaptability
Abandoning
the
plan
when
the
session
reveals
that
the
real
issue
is
somewhere
else
entirely
.
Structure
is
a
scaffold
,
not
a
script
,
and
the
coachee
'
s
actual
material
outranks
your
agenda
.
In
the
room
:
Setting
aside
a
prepared
exercise
in
the
first
five
minutes
because
the
coachee
walked
in
carrying
something
heavier
.
Encouragement
&
Recognition
Naming
progress
that
is
real
and
specific
,
rather
than
issuing
motivational
noise
.
Recognition
that
is
precise
is
credible
;
recognition
that
is
vague
teaches
the
coachee
to
discount
all
of
it
.
In
the
room
:
"
Six
weeks
ago
you
wouldn
'
t
have
said
that
out
loud
to
your
director
.
That
'
s
the
change
" —
instead
of
"
Great
work
this
week
."
Reflective
Practice
Reviewing
your
own
work
with
the
same
rigour
you
would
apply
to
a
coachee
:
what
you
missed
,
what
you
avoided
,
where
your
agenda
crept
in
.
It
is
the
mechanism
by
which
coaching
skill
compounds
.
In
the
room
:
Not
applicable
—
this
skill
operates
in
the
twenty
minutes
after
the
session
,
in
writing
,
honestly
,
including
the
parts
you
would
rather
not
write
down
.
Session
Management
Protecting
the
arc
of
a
conversation
—
opening
,
exploration
,
insight
,
commitment
,
close
—
without
turning
the
structure
into
a
cage
.
It
includes
the
willingness
to
end
on
time
even
mid
-
thought
.
In
the
room
:
Landing
on
a
concrete
next
step
in
the
final
six
minutes
rather
than
discovering
the
clock
at
the
fifty
-
eighth
.

NAVIGATING
DIFFICULTY
4
SKILLS
Conflict
Navigation
Staying
steady
and
useful
when
tension
,
disagreement
or
hostility
enters
the
conversation
.
It
requires
tolerating
being
disliked
for
a
short
period
and
resisting
the
reflex
to
smooth
things
over
prematurely
.
In
the
room
:
"
You
'
re
angry
with
me
about
that
.
Let
'
s
stay
with
it
for
a
minute
."
Intuition
&
Pattern
Recognition
Noticing
the
theme
that
recurs
across
sessions
,
the
language
that
repeats
,
and
the
story
that
gets
told
in
every
context
.
Intuition
is
valuable
only
when
it
is
offered
for
testing
,
never
asserted
as
fact
.
In
the
room
:
"
This
is
the
third
time
you
'
ve
described
a
manager
who
doesn
'
t
appreciate
you
.
I
could
be
wrong
—
is
there
a
pattern
here
worth
looking
at
?"
Ethical
Judgment
Holding
confidentiality
properly
,
gaining
consent
before
using
an
example
,
recognising
the
limits
of
your
competence
,
and
knowing
when
someone
needs
a
therapist
,
a
lawyer
or
a
doctor
rather
than
a
coach
.
In
the
room
:
Noticing
that
the
material
has
moved
beyond
coaching
scope
,
and
saying
so
directly
and
without
drama
.
Resistance
Handling
Working
with
defensiveness
,
indifference
and
"
I
'
ve
already
tried
that
"
rather
than
pushing
through
it
.
Resistance
usually
carries
a
legitimate
objection
inside
it
,
and
it
deserves
curiosity
rather
than
technique
.
In
the
room
:
"
You
'
ve
pushed
back
on
every
suggestion
I
'
ve
made
.
What
are
you
protecting
?" —
said
as
a
genuine
question
.
