Elena shares a minute-by-minute breakdown of how you should spend the five minutes before you walk into a meeting where you will be coaching. These five steps provide you with the greatest potential for that meeting to be transformative for both yourself and your client.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Become a friend of the show
• Attend The Art of Coaching workshop

Episode Reflection Questions:

• How do you currently prepare for your coaching conversations? Which element(s) of your current practice serve you well?
• Elena provided five steps to take in the five minutes before your coaching conversations. Are any of these steps a part of your current practice? Were any of these steps surprising?
• What can you do to consistently carve out the 5+ minutes necessary to prepare yourself to coach? Tip: get as specific as possible. For example, is there a specific place you can capture your pre-meeting routine? Are you someone who benefits from accountability and want to create a tracking system? Is there a location you can consistently return to that would assist in habit formation?
