Are you an eclectic coach?

In Coaching: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice (Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2010, pp. 73-81), David Clutterbuck explains the way in which an eclectic coaching dialogue is made up of four parts:

 

  • Preparation, within which clients are ‘prepared’ to feel ready for the coaching conversation to occur
  • Understanding, during which coach and client “build mutual understanding of the issue and [avoid] jumping to a solution focus until that understanding has been achieved” (p.78)
  • Solutioneering, during which clients “gradually focus down and make choices” (p.79)
  • Reflective debriefing, within which both coach and client reflect on what happened during the conversation.
