Marc Haine describes how a coach used empathetic questions to shift his perspective, showing him that leaders can stay calm and less reactive. He argues that coaching skills let leaders develop others and handle everyday challenges more effectively.
And she'd push back on assumptions. And she challenged me to think about how I was looking and viewing the situation, essentially calming me down through an empathetic approach of asking really good questions and then pushing me forward. And from her, I learned this idea that leaders can be highly empathetic. We don't have to be as reactionary. But it took coaching to do that. So, by helping them create and develop their coaching skills, you enable them to use coaching not only for developmental purposes, But also to tackle everyday challenges more effectively.
