Coaching is a process of structured conversations that “…unlock people’s potential to maximise their own performance… helping them learn, rather than teaching them.”

Conversations in which students are, “trusted, allowed, encouraged and supported to make their own choices and decisions,” in order to build, “self-reliance, self-belief and confidence, and self-responsibility.”

Because “commanding, demanding, instructing and persuading with threats… cannot produce sustainable optimum performance,” or raise levels of satisfaction, engagement or fulfilment.

John Whitmore, Coaching for Performance

“Don’t worry, this is just a starting point for discussion.”

“Let’s see if we can surface anything useful. Sometimes activities like this make us realise something we’ve only been vaguely aware of.”

“No problem if you disagree with your scores. What do you think they should have been for each element? Why?”

“Let’s write a short prose response to the results: one paragraph on how accurate you think the results are and why; one paragraph on what you need to do to improve.”
