Redirecting a Coaching Conversation with Diana Beabout
Mar 04, 2025•12 min•Season 6Ep. 271
Episode description
In this #coachbetter episode, Diana is going to share 5 tips to redirect a coaching conversation.
Sometimes our coaching conversations take an unexpected turn. This can be really challenging because we know that it’s important for our coaching partners to take the lead in directing the conversation.
But what happens when…
- it seems like your coaching partner is straying away from the goals you set at the beginning of the cycle or your work together? Or
- when you notice something during a classroom visit that you are hoping will attract the attention of your coaching partner, but it doesn’t? Or
- You realize there is a gap that needs to be addressed that your coaching partner doesn’t realize yet?
It can be tricky to know if you should find a way to address these issues and potentially redirect the conversation - let alone actually try to do it!
