KMART Leaders as Coach Digital Magazine

New skills Coaching gives us the opportunity to learn and practice a range of new skills. We’ve covered only a few in this magazine.

As you try out new skills and approaches to build your coaching mastery, it’s important to look both back to what worked and forward to how to embed your new skills.

After you’ve practiced these skills for a number of weeks, take the time to look at what worked, what didn’t go as well as you hoped and your own observations and thoughts. What had the most impact? Take this opportunity to reflect and make notes in your coaching journal. It’s also a great idea to discuss your overall coaching progress, strengths and areas you want to continue to develop with your manager so they can also support and coach you. Also do this with your team. Add a standing agenda item to your regular meetings to review and improve your coaching habits and the team’s coaching culture. Close the meeting by thanking your team and sharing some key moments and stories from your journey together.
