Prepared"},"content":{"rendered":"

What factors contribute to excellence in coaching and building a top-notch reputation?\u00a0 This week is dedicated to three of the hallmarks of great coaches: Prepared, Present, and Purposeful. The first of these is the topic of today\u2019s blog.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Prepared<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Dictionary.com defines prepared as: properly expectant, organized, or equipped; ready<\/p>\n

    Professional implies specific education, a code of conduct, planning, and methodologies. This is true in coaching too.\"Hallmark<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Training<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Coach-specific training that is approved by the International Coaching Federation<\/a> is a basic first step. Often people that come to coaching already have related experience and skills training. Consider this: a doctor who decides to be a dentist has related experience and skills training \u2013 do you think that training in dentistry is still appropriate? Of course it is! This is true for coaching too.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Ethics<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Coaching<\/a> is moving toward self-regulation with the ICF and all ICF coach members are held to the same standards of ethics and core competencies.\u00a0 While ethics is common sense, the reality is that training<\/a> on ethics is essential to really understand and apply the code of conduct properly.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Tools and Processes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          In addition to coaching competencies and ethics, coaches use a variety of tools in their work. Examples include agreements, worksheets, questions, and of course processes or step-by-step methodologies. Being ready in advance with tools and processes makes sense. In coaching it also means being prepared to co-create tools and processes with clients.<\/p>\n
