A good executive coach delivers value in the first five to ten minutes. Look for someone who asks probing questions to uncover root issues fast, then goes deep and ends with clear outcomes. David Peterson and David Goldsmith's framework: start fast, go deep, end strong.
One thing that's coming up for me as you share that is that I, I wanna add to what should I be looking for in a coach?
Mm-hmm.
Is you should be able to get really tangible value in the first 5 or 10 minutes of a conversation.
Mm-hmm.
If you're not getting something useful out of a conversation in the first few minutes, it's not the right coach for you. Which is, I think, why the group sessions that we've done have been really effective.
Yeah. Yeah. What does that line of questioning look like?
So I, I want to zoom out for a second and I learned my coaching framework from David Peterson and David Goldsmith. David Peterson was the late head of coaching at Google. And that philosophy is all around starting fast, going deep, and ending strong. And so I try and ask questions that get to the root of what's actually going on.
