Coaching in the Workplace – Part V

The fifth essential rule of coaching in the workplace is:

Be Comfortable with Feedback

“Not so easy”, you say? Like so many things in our personal as well as professional lives, this can be a learned skill. Practice giving and receiving feedback. Consider the following:

• What if a coach is uncomfortable giving or getting feedback?


• That discomfort will probably be projected


• A negative attitude is contagious


• So is a positive one!
