27 PART THREE - THE 5 STEP COACHING EXCHANGE WHERE THEY ARE Verify Commitment Outline Resources Determine Timeline Goal Chart Prioritize Actions WHERE THEY WANT TO GO Building a strategy bridge signifies a commitment to move forward and take action. It is where plans get made, details are discussed and tactics are weighed and measured. This step requires the coach to use the Core Coaching Skills of listening, questioning and action planning. There are five components to building the strategy bridge. 1. Verify Commitment The coach will clarify what the coachee is actually committing to and will check to see the level of commitment the coachee has. The coach will be listening for any lack of clarity, hesitation or uncertainty. Some questions the coach may ask in this component are: In one sentence, what is your objective? Are you fully committed to ? Did I just hear some uncertainty? What’s that about? 2. Outline Resources The coach ensures that the coachee has the resources needed to successfully accomplish what they want. Resources can be tangible such as the right people, the right place/space, the correct tools, etc. Or they can be intangible such as time, advocates or methods of influence. The coach is listening for what may be missing or under/overestimated in this component. Some questions that may get asked are: What are the resources you’ll need to accomplish this? Who can help with that? What is needed for this to be successful?
