THE ART OF STAYING ON POINT

“Staying on point”— speaks about relevance and being succinct. If you do not stay on point in a coaching conversation, then you are letting the conversation become irrelevant. And if it is irrelevant, then it is not in service of the client and the conversation is failing to be what it should be— a conversation like none other. So, how about you? How well can you stay on point with a client in the coaching conversation? And if you want to learn this art, how do you do that?

To do that, you have to first of all know the point. So as you begin the conversation, keep asking yourself, “What is the point of this conversation? What does my client want and what kind of a conversation is my client wanting and needing?” Do you know? If not, then find out. Ask your client. And if your client also does not know, then begin with the Clarity Conversation.
