If you really want to make a difference with 100 watt coaching, these 'tips and traps' will prove useful. Gear yourself up to succeed.
1: Think living process and not courses or workshops
On the workshop get participants focused on putting all their good intentions into practice. Just do it. Be comfortable with 'good enough', within the first day, first week, first month of leaving the workshop. Watch 'Think living process and not courses or workshops'
2: Think strategic not tactical
If done well, 100 watt coaching will drive real business improvements. Better customer service, better results, less absenteeism and sickness - all in the name of improved motivation and engagement. Watch 'Think strategic not tactical'
3: Think small daily wins not revolution
It's about regular 20 minute weekly conversations, which build to better and brighter conversations.Small wins soon make a big impact. Watch 'Think small daily wins not revolution'
4: Think 'self' not just team
Work with managers and get them thinking about their motivation, their career development and their needs. Have they created time to have 100 minutes a month with their manager? Watch 'Think 'self' not just team'
5: Think wins not resistance
Go for the low hanging fruit. If managers are to start somewhere, start with those who are 'willing' and 'able'. Provide recognition, catch them doing things right, say 'well done'. Watch 'Think wins not resistance'
6: Think time and habits not rules
There are no hard and fast rules with 100 watt coaching. It's all about making it a regular part of having open, honest conversations. Find ways for team members to lead the agenda, rather than the manager. Watch 'Think time and habits not rules'
7: Think team coaching in addition to one-to-ones
Use the Coaching Tools in team away days to foster greater collaboration, honesty and trust. Get individuals talking openly about their Values Cards and their Strengths Over-played. Watch 'Think team coaching in addition to one-to-ones'
8: Think radar screen not behind the scenes
Keep 100 watt coaching on the radar screen of senior players. Ensure the Motivation data for teams/Functions and the business as a whole is being used. Watch 'Think radar screen not behind the scenes'
9: Think green, purple and black belt in coaching ahead of time, not just in time
Make managers aware of what they need to do to receive the green, purple and black belts in coaching. No surprises! Maintain the regular discipline of completing the Motivation Index every 100 days or so and sticking with the 100 minutes a month. Become the broken record, so managers see this as a process and not a course. Watch 'Think green, purple and black belt in coaching ahead of time, not just in time'
10: Think talent development not just performance
Find ways the 16-box willing and able matrix can be used for talent mapping and development. If your organisation's talent pipeline is going to work, managers at every level need to be talking about retaining and developing talent. Watch 'Think talent development not just performance'
