Dangerous Conversations - Creation

  
  
  
  

“No great improvements in the lot of mankind are possible
until a great change takes place in the fundamental
constitution of their modes of thought.”

                                                                -- John Stuart Mill

During the Creation phase, the Leader Coach helps the Talent take his new found perspectives and create possibilities for change. It is about development, drawing up, deciding on and generating something new. As a Coach, you challenge the Talent to see opportunities in what he calls problems. You challenge the Talent to discover other ways of interpreting his situation so that he can see new possibilities and make more effective decisions. The Talent and the Coach use their collective analytical and idea-generating skills to challenge assumptions and beliefs and to look at situations anew.

People tend to become set in a single way of perceiving a situation. This blocks both change and success. Creation coaching is about getting the Talent out of his own way, challenging the self-limiting beliefs he has, and demanding that he operate at an entirely different and higher level. As a coach, you give the Talent a second pair of eyes where he previously only had one pair; you open up a whole new way of seeing himself and the world.
