If you ask most people about coaching, generally the first thing that comes to mind is sports. And that’s certainly valid. A second thing that comes to mind is the new lexicon of personal and business coaches that seem to grow as time goes on.  Some of those have staying power, others seem to move on. But what most people don’t actively think about is that managers and supervisors are all coaches as well.

The difference is that they are usually untrained to some extent, and that can be remedied  with the Organizational Development Edition at the PEOPLE Academy, Inc.

My favorite tool is the personal development bulletins and the one on coaching is no exception. A section on that particular bulletin goes into detail on coaching using The PEOPLE model™.

The PEOPLE model™ consists of:

P – Performance Identifying what good looks like (Both current and future)
E – Efficacy The power to produce the desired effect (Skills / Knowledge / Attitudes / Beliefs and their application)
O – Ownership Taking personal control (Accountability / Responsibility / Responsiveness)
P – Possibilities What’s possible? (Creativity / Possibilities / Continuous improvement)
L – Linkage Linking everything to the bigger picture (Aligning goals & Objectives / Needs / Wants / Motivation / Happiness)
E – Evidence Seeking evidence in order to validate (Knowing when it is worth it)
