THE ART OF INTERVENING AS A COACH

“Are you attempting to do an intervention?” that’s what I asked. In fact, in the past year I have asked that question over and over and over during the ACMC training during the “Coaching Labs” that give the new coaches-in-training their first opportunities to coach under supervision. Sometimes the person returns a question, “What? What do you mean?” Sometimes they give me a sheepish smile, half a nod, and a soft, “yeah.”
