ADVICE

Lead With Questions, Not Lectures

  • Avoid immediately telling; lead with inquiry to draw out the coachee's thinking and ownership.
  • Transfer critical thinking so the individual owns the solution rather than passively receiving directions.
INSIGHT

Behavior→Impact→Guidance Sequence

  • The BIG model maps coaching into three causal steps: Behavior, Impact, Guidance.
  • Following the sequence helps create awareness, connect consequences, and transfer ownership.
ADVICE

Make The Invisible Visible First

  • Start with behavior to make the invisible visible and elevate self-awareness through inquiry.
  • Ask what happened and how they handled it before suggesting fixes.
