Level Up Your Coaching: A Quick Look at Chris Whetzel's "The 5 C's of Coaching"
Hey everyone! We're always on the lookout for great coaching resources here at AWB Education, and recently, our friend Chris Whetzel shared a fantastic piece on his site, Coaching 2 Transformational Leadership, that we just had to talk about. It's called "The 5 C's of Coaching," and it's a concise yet powerful framework for anyone looking to improve their coaching game.
Chris gets right to the point, laying out five key elements that make a coaching interaction truly effective. These aren't just buzzwords; they're practical, actionable principles that you can implement immediately. And the best part? He explains them in a way that's easy to understand and remember.
Now, we won't give away all the secrets (you should definitely hop over to his site and read the full article!), but we will give you a little taste. Chris talks about the importance of things like creating a safe space for your client, asking powerful questions, and truly listening to understand, not just to respond. Sound familiar? These are cornerstones of effective coaching, and Chris breaks them down beautifully.
What we really appreciate about Chris's approach is its simplicity. He avoids jargon and gets straight to the heart of what matters. These 5 C's aren't some complex, academic theory; they're real-world tools you can use in your very next coaching session.
Whether you're a seasoned coach looking for a refresher or just starting out on your coaching journey, this article is well worth your time. It's a quick read, but it packs a punch. Seriously, carve out five minutes in your day and check it out. You won't regret it.
