THE 15 PROFICIENCIES
When the
coaching proficiencies were created they became the most provocative
collection of writings on the craft of coaching ever assembled.
This valuable resource includes an original recording of Thomas teaching
each of the 15 proficiencies. An excerpt of a scorecard
used in the program to measure the coach's effectiveness with the
proficiencies and clients is included below as a sample.
You may also listen to a clip of the first proficiency by clicking

The Proficiencies
...one of 5 components of the Certified Coach Coaching Process |

1. Engages in provocative conversations.
Coaching sessions are generally short. By hearing what the client is saying and
not saying, by questioning what you hear, by asking the right questions, pressing for clarity, and by sharing what you know
and how you feel, provocative conversations can occur within minutes, not months. Welcome to the world of the Certified
Coach.
Examples:
1. Listen for the unsaid.
2. Ask the "duh/obvious" question
3. Question what does not resonate.
The key distinction is provocative conversation vs. nice chat.

2. Reveals the client to themselves.
The more aware anyone is, the
better choices they can make for themselves. Part of what
Certified Coaches do with clients is to help them discover their
gifts, talents, wants, values, needs and dreams, as well as come to understand what what motivates and inspires them. The
result? A well-informed client, quickly moving forward on their path of self-awareness.
Examples:
1. Point to their unseen gifts/secret aspirations.
2. Help them see their way of thinking/paradigm.
3. Help to identify their sources of motivation/energy.
The key distinction is awareness vs. information.

3. Elicits greatness.
Who else is trained to be proficient in this, 24/7/365, but the Certified Coach? And, while it is true that few clients come to a coach and specifically ask that we bring out and develop this greatness, this is what we do naturally when we ask the client to think and act bigger, and by challenging the client to continually raise their own bar and standards.
Examples:
1. Ask for higher standards.
2. Ask for "absence of" something.
3. Ask for a much bigger game.
The key distinction is greatness vs. success.

Lesson
#1
How do
you help a client who is big time stuck with their goal and
nothing you, or they, are doing seems to help?

Thomas J. Leonard Coach Training Center from

Answer
It is NOT uncommon for a client to find themselves in this
position.
Typically,
being stuck or as Thomas referred to it..."stuckness"...indicates that...
The client needs a much bigger game to play.
If the goal is too small, some clients simply aren't motivated
enough to fire on all cylinders.
The client needs a smaller game to play.
If the goal is too large, some clients get overwhelmed or feel
that they'll never get there. So, either make the game
smaller or identify important milestones along the way and
target to those.
The client's paradigm needs to be shifted or expanded
quickly.
If the client is thinking too small, or historically,
help them to upgrade their paradigm by...
The client may need to start doing the opposite of what
they've been doing.
Don't laugh at this one. It can work. Just ask the
client what would happen, or what they would feel if they
started doing the opposite of what they've been doing to reach
this goal. If nothing else, it's a creative
exercise. Remember, the client is stuck, and it's not a
natural state to be stuck, so sometimes a 180 or 90 degree turn
is what's needed.
The client doesn't really want the goal even though
they say they do.
I see this a lot. The client has a goal in mind but it's
actually a 'should' goal vs. a 'want' goal and so they don't get
very far with it. The trick is to help the client work on
'want' goals, or to shift the 'should' into a 'want'. 'Should'
goals, while important, are likely to derail the client.
'Want' goals, however, usually keep the client motivated.
Again, it's a cool coaching skill to help the client reframe or
redesign a 'should' goal into a 'want' goal.
