34 PART THREE - THE 5 STEP COACHING EXCHANGE Step 5 - Recap Identify Discover Strategize Clear the Way Recap Listening Listening Listening / Questioning Listening / Questioning Action Planning Listening / Questioning Requesting The Recap brings to light where the coachee is in their thinking. In short, it is a very succinct, clear summary of what they now know and what they are going to do. The coach and coachee solidify a mutual understanding of what is going to happen moving forward and how it will be done. The recap is also an anchoring of what has been explored, learned and committed to. It is the final tie off of any loose ends. The recap would also be considered the close of the coaching exchange. The coachee is ALWAYS the one to give the recap. The coach simply listens and may check in on a couple of things with some clarifying questions, but listening is the primary skill used. The coach is listening for clarity, commitment and consistency. Is the coachee: Clear with what they are doing and where they are going? Fully committed and ready to do what they said they would do? Consistent in what they have said up until now in the exchange? “ I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
