How to become an effective communication coach?
Answer:
Becoming an effective communication coach requires you to know two things:
1. Aspects of effective communication
2. The coaching technique
Lets deal with each of them in turn.
1. Aspects of effective communication are: clarity of the message, managing barriers (physical and emotional), providing opportunity for feedback and finally deliver the corrected communication.
2. The coaching technique presumes a belief system that people want to grow and they are willing to reflect on their practices to identify strengths and areas of potential.
Having said that, the technique involves:
1. the demonstration by the coached of his/her performance in effective communication (in this case)
2. followed by a session in which the coach identifies the strengths of the coached and
3. facilitates the reflection by the coached on his/her own problematic areas.
