Building rapport with the coachee: The following introductions were made to pitch the appropriate level of listen with curiosity for the session: 1.   How have you been? 2.   What ideas did you have in mind for this coaching session? 3.   What - issue/s in particular - is disturbing your peace of mind regarding a team-member? Goal setting: The following exploratory questions were asked to establish goals and set objectives. 1.   What specifically would you like to get out of this coaching session? 2.   What does success look like? Questioning:   Reality: Questioning coachee about the problems they wish to address. Options: Generate options – with coachee - for actions to be taken forward.

Session 1 (Notes):                                                                       Recording:   Introduction: Topic related to coachees’ work colleague (Mat) who interpersonal style came across as patronizing and fails to matches deadlines. Mat sits next to her - at the small publishing house – where Leah is a Production Assistance and Mat is a “Cover art developer”. The aim of the session was to achieve the following gaols: ·        Create a more production relationship that would encourage Mat to support deadlines in a more focused way. ·        Become less phased by the situation – chiefly less frustrated - and more in control (Emotional Intelligence). Questioning related to address the issue/s: ·        The average day’s event invariably alternate between urgent and non-urgent tasks. ·        Line managers solution was to introduce a “Whiteboard” solution – which has proven unworkable. ·        Formal HR acknowledgement / solution of issue is required. ·        Mat tentatively accepts, but allows collective senior management priorities to take precedence. ·        Doing nothing is – currently - not an option. Generate options for actions to be taken forward: ·        Speak to the managers of both parties. ·        Recognise being conflict adverse. ·        A list of what to stop-doing has not been tried. ·        Relinquishing the burden of self-blame. ·        Keep tabs on the number of times coachee has progress-chased Mat’s tardiness. ·        Have a HR forum to independently resolve the issue? ·        Man-up and engage Mat’s, because his general disposition is agreeable to discussion. Coach and coachee agree what actions will happen. •     HR adjudication. •     Reduce Mat’s office power. •     Conflict management training course. •     Soundboard sessions with manager to develop coping strategies. •     Unclenching of unhelpful mind-set. •     Commitment to action ranked 9 out of 10. •     Stop emotionally sabotaging actions. •     Accountability: Logging Mat's non-compliances and possible coping strategies.
