Good coaching is simple. If the client doesn’t perform differently, the coaching didn’t work. And if you’re in a coaching role, your job isn’t to sound smart. Your job is to help someone change something that matters. But how do I know if it’s working, you might ask? Look for movement you didn’t create yourself. What specific behaviors did they choose? What visible impact did those actions have on the people around them? If change has taken place, it should be easy for stakeholders to give examples. That’s your evidence. The world of performing arts + athletics isn’t that different from leadership: You do a baseline assessment at the beginning, then another a few months later. Leadership is a set of behaviors... muscles, really. If you train them, they grow. If you don’t, they don’t.
