Coaching Techniques

Coaching is difficult, but what is at the heart of it? 

Coaching is the art of asking the right questions so that the person you are coaching works out for themselves what they need to do. To be really effective and actually generate results asking great questions is the only way you can help a coachee - just telling them what to do won't be nearly as effective.

Also, before you even get to what they should do, good questions are essential to help you and the coachee work out what they need help with! This technique is as a learned skill for a coach, whether it's leadership coaching, life coaching, executive coaching, career coaching - use great questions and they will respond and appreciate your help.

So ask better questions and bring something different to your coaching sessions with the Coaching Cubes - a complete coaching cycle in a box.

Help the coachee feel at ease 

Trying to coach someone awkaward or sensative? The dice create a physical distance between questioner and question, allowing you to position yourself alongside your client as you both regard the question 'the cube' is asking, so facilitating qualitatively different conversation. Used this way it can make the session less confrontational for sensitive coachees.

Help the coachee take ownership

Want to make your sessions more bespoke for your client? By rolling the dice or by examining and choosing their own question with which to engage, the coaching cubes allow the coachee to take ownership of the process and direction of the session, allowing you to work in different ways with different clients depending on their experience and need, helping them buy into your advice

Concentrate on listening

The dice reflect the PRISMM coaching model, which is explained in the pack, meaning newer coaches have a well thought out model and process to fall back on, and more experienced coaches can use the questions provided so that they can concentrate on listening

Delightful touch of playfulness with hidden depth

These cubes work brilliantly online as well as in person, particularly if you are as bad at juggling as I am. They are especially valuable in situations where it's useful to introduce a touch of playfulness without appearing unprofessional. The spectacle of my attempts to juggle never fails to get a laugh and clients enjoy choosing which side of which cube from the ensuing debris.
The hidden depth lies in the knowledge and structure behind the choice of questions, all of which are very powerful; even more so when engaged with in the manner that follows this method of selection. Highly recommended!

Great tool for your team or individual coaching

Need a playful helper for your coaching session or group discussion? The coaching cubes may be the right tool for you! I love to use them for icebreaker sessions in teamworkshops or to guide individual coaching sessions. The questions go deep directly and everyone I used them with felt quite moved after telling their stories. Thank you for this beautiful product

Since making the wise decision :) to include Appreciating Change�s Coaching Cubes in one of my corporate coaching sessions in early December, I have become a genuine believer in �Cube Power�.
What a superbly �simple� way to power-charge coaching sessions and motivate clients.
Have participants roll their individual Coaching Cubes and watch the magic happen as thought-provoking questions move your people to share insights on irksome topics. Enthusiasm for the Coaching Cubes increases exponentially as inhibitions lessen. Valuable discussions invariably pull loose �what if� threads together, thus promoting clear, precise, long-lasting �client authored� results.
WOW.
Thank you Sarah!
