From Here to There Coaching Framework

"It is our responsibility as a leader to help guide people from here to there.  From who they are and where they have come from.  And where they are now and what they are facing, feeling and fearing.  To build on and open up opportunity for them.  It is to help them see themselves through the eyes of others. It is to encourage and lead them to live out and to grow into what they can become."  Tom Cuthbert

Tools to Take People From Here to There

1. Ask, "I'm curious, where are you from?". Know "who" they are and "how" they are

2. Have consistent, private, uninterrupted one-to-ones. There is no more important conversation

3. Manage your "AA Ratio", how many questions to you ask vs. answer. 9 ask to 1 answer

4. Control your time and respect theirs. Know what an hour of your time is worth

5. Engage with them and avoid distractions. Eliminate, dings, buzzes and notifications

6. Create an environment of accountability so they can hold themselves accountable

7. Give clear direction, check for understanding. Build conversational capacity

8. Live out, look for and acknowledge core values. Yours, theirs and the company's

9. Use Lenses to keep you (and them) on track. Empower decision making

10. Leadership is the art of listening. Strive to get better everyday
