Consider the following factors we discussed this week that can affect a coaching relationship: rapport, communication, mood, and compassion. It is important to develop rapport when working with a coachee in order to build a trusting relationship. Frequent communication between a coach and coachee is critical for a successful coaching experience. Mood can positively or negatively affect a coaching conversation and a coaching relationship. For this reason, a coach has to develop an awareness of the mood of an organization and how it influences the coachee. Finally, compassion is often necessary in coaching situations. A coach must determine when and to what extent compassion is necessary. An effective coach can use a combination of these factors as necessary throughout the coaching experience. Explain what role rapport has in a coaching relationship. Describe the importance of communication in a coaching relationship. Analyze the effect mood has on a coaching environment. Analyze the extent to which compassion is necessary in the coaching environment. |
