THE BRAND NEW FEEDBACK FORM

We now have a brand new competency feedback form for the core coaching skills. This is the feedback form that we use in Meta-Coaching when we score a person’s skills around the core coaching skills of supporting, listening, questioning, meta-questions, receiving and giving feedback, and inducing state. I have attached this new form to this Reflection so that you can begin to use it at MCF chapter meetings when you benchmark coaching sessions.

So, are you asking, Why a new one? Or, What’s new about it? How does it differ from the previous forms? The answer is that the biggest difference is the focus on the skills and the sub- skills. In the last year or so I’ve been asking myself, Which sub-skills are absolutely necessary for each of these skills? Which are sufficient to comprise the skill? And which are extra that give it an extra quality or expertise? How many of the sub-skills have to be presented before we can say that a person is “fully competent?” The new design is the answer that I have at this point to these questions.
