Coaching in Engineering Company

Coaching

Before start explain the coaching in engineering company, we should know the coaching meaning is.

Coaching is all about helping people make positive changes. So the more people coaching touch, the more positive the world can be.
Coaching is partnering with clients to provoke in creative process to inspire them to unreleased their personal potential.

Training, Mentoring, Counseling and Coaching

What is the different those four type above?

In my language :

1. Training is provide knowledge from the trainer to the trainee.

2. Mentoring is to provide insight or inspire normally in life value or wisdom from mentor to mentee.

3. Counseling is to heal or cure the counselor from counselor, 

4. Coaching is to provoke the coachee to find the way by them self.

You can see from number 1 to no 3, all the knowledge or value or cure are give from people who more senior, or more having knowledge to the person.

It's different from coaching, the coachee try to find the way out or solution based on his own with provoke by coach.

Like a soccer games, sometime the coach doesn't  have soccer skill as his player. But the coach have skill to manage to unseals unique potential for each player to win the games.

Coaching in Engineering Company

Same as the image soccer player, in engineering company have many various skill and personnel. The coach task to collaborate and to maximize the everyone potential to get in same directions.

Coaching for Senior Engineer is different when you do coaching session with Designer.

In this level coach shall have special skilled to do coaching session.

In general, coach should have skill such as:

1. Coach shall have good leadership, therefore coach sometime is more higher postion or level than coachee 

2. Make good relationship with client, (in this case is coachee), It is impossible that coachee can explore in front of you his thinking or his idea.

3. Good skill in Listening and Questioning, mean open question or provoke question skill is very important. Don't forget about listening skill, that we can not assume before the coaching session is finished.

4. Facilitate skill for coachee for his thinking, idea and assumption.

5. Make Summary and Action Item to lock the idea or path forward.

6. Don't forget to wish them in good way.

To make different between coaching session and chit-chat talking is the path forward.

Lock the idea and follow up action item.

Off course become coach need time and experience, so never late to start.
