Tasking
Tasking
  • Many clients have a good intellectual knowledge of their situation, but nothing changes. They are on this level of knowing, but this level is not enough to make the change happen.

  • ●  The next stage is wanting. Clients want to change but this is not enough either.

  • ●  When working with a coach, there’s a big difference, because the coach helps the coachee free themselves from the limiting beliefs and habits that are holding them back.
    Plus, the coach helps the coachee find their best strategies for change.
    This leads to:
    doing.

    1. Without the doing step, everything that comes before is potential only and will not make a difference. What distinguishes coaching from other approaches is the emphasis on action learning.
      The coach is always inviting the client to:


      • Explore something different,

      • ●  Challenge an habit(s),

      • ●  Become more self-aware,

      • ●  Challenge their beliefs,

      • ●  Live more by their values

        • A task is something the coach asks the client to do as a result of the progress in their coaching session.

        • ●  Tasks are always action-oriented, or reflection-oriented.

        • ●  Tasks are always precise and specific.

        • ●  They need to be clear in 3 areas:

          1. What exactly will you do?

          2. When will you do it?

          3. How will I know you’ve done it?

          • ●  Tasks are not always comfortable for the client.

          • ●  The most important thing about tasking is that the client learns something about their own resources, regardless of whether

            they succeed or fail

            • A task can be a request or a challenge

              • A challenge stretches the client beyond their self-imposed limits.

              • ●  When you challenge a client with a task, you demonstrate that you believe in them even if they themselves do not.

              • ●  The challenge is realistic, not impossible - but test the client sufficiently so they can test their beliefs about themselves.

                • A request is simpler than a challenge and more achievable.

                • ●  It asks the client to further their goals by taking a specific action.

                • ●  A request can feel as uncomfortable as a challenge to a client.

                • ●  A request should be precise.

                • ●  The client should know exactly what to do to carry it out and what the result will be.

                  1. Keep in mind

                    Preface a request or challenge by saying ‘I have a request/challenge for you....” and ask permission from the client. When the client is warned you’re going to ask something and they give you permission, they are more receptive.
                    It is important that all challenges/requests have a deadline.
