How To Coach Through The Stages of Learning Infographic

One of the roles of a coach is to be a guide and a support while the coachee is developing a new skill or learning a new concept. But often times, coachees are blind to the need for development and learning. The coach must then initiate a discussion with the coachee to help them understand that a need or development opportunity exists.

This effort begins the first of the four stages of learning, based on elements of the Johari Window, where a coach supports the coachee throughout the process of progressing from incompetence to competence in a skill or concept. The How To Coach Through The Stages of Learning Infographic presents three steps a coach should follow:

1. Determine where the person is in the learning process
2. Coach the person according to the place in the learning process
3. Reevaluate where the person is in the learning process and continue to coach them towards unconcious competence
