35 Why the Coachee Does the Recap In closing, the coach asks the coachee to step up and take ownership for what they have said they want and will do by having the coachee recap all they have committed to in the coaching dialog. This is THEIR show, not the coach’s. Having the coachee do the recap anchors: New Learning The coachee will usually mention the new awareness or learning they have from the coaching and it’s relevance to the actions they are committing to. Commitment We all know that saying it out loud to someone else makes it real. It commits us in a way we don’t commit when we are alone with our plans. Accountability In the recap, the coachee is taking responsibility for what they have said they want to be accountable for. They are making a verbal statement where their level of commitment is evident in their tone, words and energy. Actions to Be Taken When the coachee has to reflect to another the action plan they have brainstormed and created for themselves in a clear and concise way, it anchors the plan. Forward Movement Again, articulating the plan for forward movement anchors the commitment to do so. Questions to Open a Recap What are you willing to commit to as a result of this conversation?
