Integrity Coaching
The following is an excerpt of one of David’s coaching sessions in Top Coaching Techniques.
David: Okay let’s check something with you now. How did the dinner go?
Client: I didn’t do it.
David: Right.
Client: I’m bad.
David: Yeah, I call that a breakdown in the accountability, because you said that’s what you wanted and you’re not sticking to that. So do you still want accountability?
Client: Yep.
David: How can you reach – does she have a mobile?
Client: Yeah.
David: Have you got a mobile?
Client: Yeah.
David: Okay, how’d you like to give her a call now and tell her when you’re going to cook her dinner?
Client: Yeah, I could do that.
David: It’s called accountability.
Client: It’s just that I’ve got to be careful about why I’m calling her.
David: You can just say, ‘Hey, I want to cook you dinner.’
Client: You mean now now?
David: Yeah, now now. I’ll be happy to hold on.
Client: Let me get off the phone now.
David: I think now might be a little better.
Client: All right.
David: All right, are you willing to do that?
Client: Okay.
David: Great. I’ll hold on.
Client: I’ll put you on hold.
David: Yeah. Thanks.
[Interruption]David: How are you?
Client: Good. It’s done.
David: Good.
Client: I had trouble getting her. I had to try another number.
David: Well done.
Client: But I did it.
David: That wasn’t so hard.
Client: No, it wasn’t hard at all.
