The two big coaching for change ‘tricks’ nobody told you about … until now.

The two big coaching for change ‘tricks’ nobody told you about … until now.

These have nothing to do with GROW or GROAN as I prefer to call coaching techniques.

Are you curious now?

I’ll cut to the chase.

The first is the Hawthorne effect. This is where people change their behavior in response to knowing they’re being observed, or getting special treatment. Think what happens when there’s weekly accountability in place.

The second is Expectation setting. This is where people change because an environment is set up for change, and an outcome is presupposed. Think about what happens when there are higher standards in place.

Hawthorne + Expectations = Fast and Easy.

Without any fancy-pants coaching techniques or certifications.

BTW think about this … coaching supervision (Hawthorne effect) and certification (expectation setting).
