What distinguishes a great coach from a good coach, either as a professional or as a leader coaching your team?
David Goldsmith, Co-founder of the International Coaching Federation and iconic pillar of the executive coaching profession, joined the Greatness podcast to share his invaluable insights on this topic. Key nuggets - how are you, as a coach/leader, curious and asking the right questions that allow your people to solve problems for themselves? How do you walk away from coaching individuals with them clearly in action? Another great insight - how do you, as a person, move within the "eye of the storm", not in it.
Coaching is about movement and progress, helping people find clarity and prioritize their time and energy. It's about creating space to be thoughtful and to focus upon YOU and your development. I'm grateful to the people who coach me and the people who give me the gift of coaching them.
