The coachee has his or her own responsibilities. As in any form of counseling that is oriented around change, the coachee must commit to the hard work, risk and awkwardness that are part of real, sustained impact. In other words, the coachee must take ownership over his or her own progress, working at it consistently and with commitment, while trusting the coach to be there with all necessary support and expertise. Further, it is important for everyone to understand the risk of a person taking on change and the subsequent fear of failure that can result. If the coachee is not willing to make that level of commitment, or, as sometimes happens, if the organization is not truly willing to be supportive, then it's up to the coach to identify that problem, clarify expectations and continues or abandons the project as need be.
The coaching partnership achieves its impact because of the foundation of trust. The more trust the coach can generate, the more the coachee can achieve.
A behavioral change or a strategy implementation will not succeed if the coach is only there to provide the initial push, no matter how solid and insightful the advice. Progress must be monitored at appropriately frequent intervals to ensure the change. The coach understands the coachee, the environment and the challenge well enough to know when to apply more gas, when to touch on the brake, and when to change direction. The coach is always trying to create the most powerful and sustainable results in the shortest time frame. How fast can the coachee be moved along? How is the
coachee doing emotionally and mentally with the changes taking place? Is there a danger zone approaching in which the coachee will be placed in a situation that mightjeopardize chances of success or reduce his or her willingness to take further risks? Is the organization providing sufficient support for the change? The coach modifies the approach as required, recalibrating it to optimize the pace of the coachee's development in a way that allows the coach to meet his or her commitments and agreedupon objectives. The coachee's best interests are kept in mind throughout this recalibration. Even though the organization might be the paying client, the coach is not going to be part of any vehicle operating against the coachee. The ethic of coaching requires the coach to manage the client's expectations just as skillfully as he or she manages the coach's progress.
coach's obligation to help the coachee prepare for the change, accomplish the change, and sustain the change. The occasional phone call to the coachee or the coachee's key stakeholders can evaluate how well the coaching impact has lasted. The impact of monitoring after the engagement is formally over cannot be underestimated. As coaching comes under more and more pressure to demonstrate its return on investment, demonstrating sustainability of success is becoming critical. Revenue for even the blue-chip consulting firms has fallen, in large part because clients were never actively weaned from consultant-dependency and capabilities were not sufficiently transferred. The business model of best practice coaching is clearly aligned with these new demands, but coaches must be able to demonstrate that they are living up to those demands through their results. Ultimately, the success of the coaching partnership is not measured by coach coachee chemistry or the satisfaction of the coachee; it is measured by the business results. Nevertheless, the partnership is one of mutual benefit and the satisfaction in that should be felt by both parties. The coachee has taken a journey from vulnerability to competence with a new base level of high performance. Along the way, he or she has received side-benefits of greater satisfaction in their work, more authenticity in their personal calling and increased creativity in their role. The coach has also taken a journey, though it is perhaps one more leg on an even longer adventure. By working closely with another human being and seeing that work come to success, they have gained a valuable experience while developing in approach, insight and self- awareness.

Using this information, coaches are selected based on their match with the coachee requirements and the CVs sent. Best practice suggests that coachees should be asked to identify the coaching style which they feel would be most beneficial to them, we do this using the following five continuums: Directive: Coach readily shares own views, coach leads and directs the discussion Challenging: Coach frequently challenges and questions the coachees thinking and approach to situations Reflective: Coach encourages early reflection and thinking with a focus on mentally rehearsing and preparing for situations Structured: Coach encourages a structure approach, adopting a planned approach to addressing issues Conceptual: Discussion focuses on broader issues and themes that underpin success by asking why vs. Facilitative: Coach encourages coach to arrive at their own conclusions and to lead and direct the discussion Supportive: Coach provides support and acts as a sounding board for coachees to describe their planned approach Action oriented: Coach encourages early experiments and a quicker pace with relatively less emphasis on reflection Fluid: Coach encourages an exploratory, flexible approach where agenda evolves and focus changes Practical: Discussion focuses on providing practical solutions and strategies by tackling challenges and asking how

To help candidates make the right decision it is advisable to inform the coachee on the relative benefits of working with a coach who is both: Very similar in style to them: for example, rapport may be more immediate, communication and perspectives more similar and therefore can be one less thing to think about Different in style: for example, this presents an opportunity to learn and be challenged by someone with a very different perspective. Experience has shown that this is an important aspect of the matching process to avoid any misconceptions. Ultimately, the decision on coach selection rests with the coachee. TM role is to offer carefully vetted coaches who will deliver what is required.
*** Pre established short set of questions for Speed Dating: What are you looking for in a coach? What are you looking for in a coachee? What 3 characteristics do you most values in a successful leader? What 3 characteristics would you most want to acquire immediately to improve your career?

After each conversation, participants rank the quality of the interaction on a scale from one to five. At the end of the full event, mutual fives are paired. Where no pairing occurs, the TM Department uses a follow-up assignment mechanism, which begins with an understanding of what types of concerns might have arisen in the five-minute conversation.
