Establishing Trust and Rapport is an essential element to every coaching relationship. Basic trust building relies on several key focal skills. Here are four:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be sincere, by demonstrating interest in personal events and concerns. Create a safe space for conversation by establishing rules of confidentiality. Demonstrate that you will follow the established rules. Be prepared to admit to mistakes or errors in understanding.<\/li>\n<li>Be reliable by keeping commitments to your learner. Be consistent in your responses and be available to the learner when needed. Keep promises to the person you are coaching.<\/li>\n<li>Be competent by providing information as needed, sharing your expertise and any resources that would support the learner. Share your experiences both positive and ones that have been not so positive. (Do not share \u2018war stories\u2019 that would not have benefits to supporting the individual being coached.)<\/li>\n<li>Be benevolent by keeping the learner\u2019s best interests as the focus for actions. Have a positive frame of reference when working with the person being coached.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2. Communication, done effectively through direct, verbal and non-verbal methods, can have a positive impact on building a coaching relationship. When examining communication techniques, the following considerations need to be reviewed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be clear and direct when providing information or feedback.<\/li>\n<li>Rephrase and reframe to help the mentee understand other perspectives.<\/li>\n<li>Establish expected meeting agendas and the purpose of activities to be done together.<\/li>\n<li>Use language that is appropriate and respectful to the mentor.<\/li>\n<li>Apply metaphor or analogy to help clarify through visualization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3. <strong>Active Listening <\/strong>is the ability to focus with uncompromised attention to the individual being coached, to what they are saying and how they are saying it. Suspending judgment is an important component of this process. Active listening focuses on the individual&#8217;s goals, values, beliefs and distinguishes between the words, the verbal and non-verbal information being communicated. Techniques used during active listening include summarizing, paraphrasing, mirroring and questioning.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Facilitative Coaching<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Facilitative coaching assists the coachee to move from specific knowledge and skills towards building personal capacity. Coaches can help move the individual being coached to internalize their learning and be transformed throught it. This can be achieved by applying constructivist strategies. According to Bloom et. al. the facilitative coach supports the coachee &#8220;in learning new ways of being through observation, reflection, analysis, reinterpretation, and experimentation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reflections<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>&#8220;We don&#8217;t see things as they are, we see things as we are.&#8221; <\/em>Cicero, Philosopher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Building Reflective Practice through Learning Focused Relationship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reflection of self and skills is an essential component of building coaching relationships.

Coaches will need to apply active listening when seeking to understand another individual&#8217;s perceptions and assumptions. Applying effective questioning techniques will assist the coach to gather information and assist the individual being coached to clarify their own thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Effective listening when coaching requires that you turn off your own inner voice that would frame a response instead of being fully attentive to the speaker. This technique enables a coach to fully listen to and observe the individual being coached.<\/p>\n<p>Active listening begins when effective questioning is applied. Effective questioning techniques, as outlined by Gary Bloom et. al. in the book &#8220;Blended Coaching&#8221; (pg. 42) are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open ended: Tell me about&#8230; What do you think about&#8230;.?.<\/li>\n<li>Invitational: It would be great to hear about&#8230; Would you consider&#8230;..?<\/li>\n<li>Specific: How often does this&#8230;.?
