Supplemental Coaching
Types of Supplemental Coaching 1.
Peer-to-Peer: This is where you can facilitate practice and knowledge dissemination between peers on a scheduled basis with the person or persons being coached sharing with you what they learned and applied 2. Journal based: This is subscribing the process of writing down what people learned and applied and ultimately sharing it with you as the coach later on. 3. Observe and journal: This is when someone observes another person and writes down what they did well and what they learned from the experience and observation. 4. Video: Watching video is powerful and using it as a coaching tool is even more powerful. This can be done by showing a short video clip and then asking coaching questions or facilitating activities afterward. 5. Read a book: One of the simplest ways to supplement coaching is to create a cadence in one-on-one or even in groups by people reading chapters of a book that are due at certain times ultimately having the person or persons being coached share what they learned and what they put into action successfully. 6. Mentoring: Where applicable providing someone you are coaching the mentor can supplement your direct coaching relationship with the mentor providing guidance whereas you as a coach are asking questions and driving activities to build self-awareness and action. How to Use Supplemental Coaching 1. Supplemental coaching can be used to supplement your direct coaching specific to an individual or a group. It is wise to add one or two supplemental coaching activities that should be timed in such a way that it is not interrupted to the work load the person or persons are experiencing. 2. A major suggestion is to facilitate the supplemental coaching and then to follow it up with questions of what they learned and activities where they have the opportunity to demonstrate what can now be applied. It is a major suggestion not to simply subscribe supplemental coaching and leave it alone , meaning you have to ask questions afterwards of what they learned and what they successfully applied as a result of the learning. How to Use Supplemental Coaching When Progress is Slower/Stalled 1. A simple suggestion when progress is slow or stalled it’s to increase the cadence of supplemental coaching. One major suggestion is to use the mentoring technique of somebody you feel can add value to your coaching relationship with the person or persons being coached. The general rule was one to two supplemental coaching strategies to support what you’re doing directly; whereas, you may need to go to two to three if not 4 as long as they work in congruence with one another to regain progress. 2. Another major suggestion is to use journaling where people write down daily where they’re progressing and where they feel stalled and then create a cadence where they can share those entries that will serve as a valuable reference to maintain an intense focus on progress and barriers.
