Key Takeaways:
“Coaching is often referred to as “support to report” because the coach is just supporting the coachee to report what is important or needs to happen.” -Dr. Sarah E. Brown
“Take the first step at getting clarity about what you want by just sharing your interests, strengths, and needs with another caring person and dialogue with them about what it means to you.” -Dr. Sarah E. Brown
“When you share what you want with someone who has a good handle on your interest, strengths, and needs, they’re going to be able to see immediately whether what you say you want is congruent with who you really are. This is important.” -Dr. Sarah E. Brown
“The outcome of any good coaching interaction is greater clarity on what the coachee wants and getting her going down the path of achieving it. Knowing what the coachee does not want is insufficient. You have to know what the coachee actually does want.” -Dr. Sarah E. Brown
“I’ve spent years clarifying what I want and I’m still learning, but I’m never going to make progress if I’m not in action on what I do know, or think I know.” -Dr. Sarah E. Brown
