[00:59] What made you become a coach?
- It was accidental. It was not an aspiration.
- I joined the army at a very early age.
- After a career in the military, I went into the fire and rescue service.
- I ended up on a Half-day Introduction to Coaching course, part of the fire services’ leadership development program.
[03:08] Aspect of being a conservationist
- I see the concept of being a conservationist as a way of being, rather than as work.
[06:22] Leadership Coaching and Change Management
- I particularly like to focus on having those deep conversations with the leaders.
- There is a difference between leadership and management.
- You manage processes, systems, buildings, and equipment. But you lead people.
- We help them with their vision setting and goal setting.
[10:00] Did your previous experience help you become a better coach?
- I went into the military, which is very directive. You just do as you are told.
- When I moved into the fire service, it was very disciplined. They wanted to demilitarize it and try and make it less direct, to make it more inclusive.
- To be a good change manager you’ve got to be a coach because you have to help people, to create an environment for people.
[11:34] VUCA Methodology
V- Volatile: You do not really know what is happening.
U- Uncertain: You do not know when is it happening.
C- Complex: You do not understand how is it going to be.
A- Ambiguous: You do not know how to handle it.
VUCA is a term that originated in the US military.
[15:07] How does culture impact coaching?
- Culture and Coaching go hand in hand.
- There is a greater willingness and openness to be coached in certain cultures than there is in other cultures.
[18:18] Three life lessons
- The past is history.
- The future is a mystery.
- The present is a gift.
