S5 Episode 10: Open Table - Checking In in Coaching

At today’s open table, coaches Kris Thorne, Laun Ruttenburg,  Alun Bedding and Lizzie Rhodes James join Claire Pedrick to think about checking in during coaching sessions. 

 

They discuss the importance of partnership, and delve into the nuances of effective check-ins. 

 

Takeaways

• Checking in is vital for maintaining partnership in coaching.
• Effective check-ins should focus on the thinker's progress, not the coach's performance.
• Checking in during moments of flow enhances the coaching experience.
• Letting go of control allows for more authentic coaching interactions.
• Not every moment in a coaching session needs to be transformational.
• Finding the 'treasure' in coaching requires focused exploration. We're trying to uncover the thing that's going to unlock it.
• The art is how do I check in without going backwards?
• Any progress is progress.
• Be braver in checking in.
• We need to check in early and facing forwards.
