As a result of performance or development coaching, learners may
choose to engage in a more skills-based coaching experience. For
example, suppose a supervisor has enrolled in performance
coaching to improve supervision skills. Through several sessions of
performance coaching the learner may identify a desire to improve
group supervision skills and request coaching to specifically address
this discrete skill. Given this scenario, the coach and learner will
together decide if the current coach can provide this kind of skills-
based learning or if the supervisor will need to seek out additional
support.
Coaches using a performance or development coaching model
will have advanced or expert knowledge in the use of questioning
and reflection, which helps guide learners to identify effective ways
for being successful, as opposed to having expertise in the skills
learners are trying to embrace.
