The Business of Executive Coaching

4: Chemistry Conversations Suck


Listen Later

In today's podcast episode, we're diving into the world of chemistry conversations. Do you love them? Or is there more dread happening?  In this episode we explore the upside and downside for the 3 parties who have a stake here - coaches, coachees and client organisations.

In this episode I will share a few tips for navigating chem check conversations including:

  • Remind yourself it's a two-way street.
  • Assess if you need to talk more or less.
  • Mind those insecurities; we've all got them.
  • Match your energy to their desired state.
  • Get a strategic time slot.
  • Deeply understand their challenges.
  • Boost your credibility by sharing relevant experiences.
  • And hey, a word of encouragement – these conversations are part of the gig. Embrace them, learn from them and they will lose some of their sting.

    Let me know your challenges and war stories!
