Sharing The Secrets of Success At Work

Dr Harrison’s Tips On Coaching And Development

December 2nd, 2008 by John

This is one I’ve really been looking forward to sharing!

In the series of interviews we did with Dr Dan Harrison recently, he talked just as much about coaching and development as he did about selection and hiring assessment.

Here is a selection where he’s talking specifically about how to help someone develop themselves.

He specifically addresses the issue of how the coaching intervention required can be the exact opposite, depending on whether the person is showing stress behaviour or preferred behaviour. The issue is that if you get it wrong, a coaching session can actually make the situation worse not better!

Using Paradox to understand their behaviour, it becomes very clear how you can help someone most effectively.

… a great video … totally authentic, Dan at his best, there’s even a bit where we think we finished, but he adds more clarification … watch it now!
