The Coach Approach:

Introduction

Coaching plays a role in almost all of the cases on effective applications of EQ in Six Seconds’ case study library. So we have a growing body of evidence to say that coaching with EQ works to untangle challenges and improve performance.

So, today, when SO many of us are in a place of deep uncertainty and challenge… can we use techniques of coaching ourselves? How? What can we try?

In today’s panel we have a truly remarkable group of experts. We’ll dive into these questions, interact with you who are watching live, and then at the end, we’ll share a very important summary of the key tools to put into action.

Key questions

• What is coaching?
• What are you noticing is happening w people’s emotions now in the pandemic?
• Is it important to address that, and if so, what is one coaching technique you’d suggest?
• What from coaching can help people LISTEN to one another better?
• What’s happening in the world right now is incredibly complex. To what degree can something as “basic” as coaching skills help with something this big?
• Coming back to the personal: What coach-skill are you craving or longing for — to be applied to you?
• So if you could wave your magic coach-training-for-everyone wand, and the people around you (work, home) had one new coaching skill… what would it be? 
• There’s a lot coming out right now about the mental health burden from the pandemic. The UN Secretary General just proclaimed that effective pandemic response must also consider this. 
• Does coaching have any role in mental health?
• Many people see mental health as a clinical issue, and disregard coaching in this conversation. Do you have any concerns about this?
• Specifically, how can coach techniques effective help people with the emotional burdens they’re now carrying?
• What are the skills people will most need in the rest of 2020?
