Ask the Business Coach: What are the essential skills you need to be a great coach?

Channel Eye has joined forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our column, ‘Ask the Business Coach’

Business Growth Pathways logoTo unlock potential and unleash the success of others, a great coach masters three core skills.

The big three takeaways!

  1. The quality of the questions you ask will determine the quality of the answers given.
  2. Be a great listener.
  3. It’s not knowing when to be silent; it’s knowing when to break the silence.

Episode timestamps

  • [0.56] The questions you ask need to cut through the noise and drill down into the problem, challenge, opportunity.
  • [1.15] It’s pointless to ask the questions if you’re not tuned into the answers that come back. People want a great listening to, not a great talking to.
  • [1.45] When you’ve asked your question, remember to pause.
  • [2.12] When you ask your probing questions, it’s knowing how to leave it before you interrupt their thought process. Knowing how long you leave the person before asking another probing question.
  • [3.00] These three skills are transferable – which can be used in both your personal and professional life.
