Respect the person's autonomy and agency in decisionmaking from "summary" of Coach the Person, Not the Problem by Marcia Reynolds
When working with someone as a coach, it is important to remember that they are their own person with their own thoughts, feelings, and desires. This means respecting their autonomy and agency in decision-making. Autonomy refers to the individual's ability to make their own choices and decisions, while agency refers to their capacity to act on those decisions. By respecting a person's autonomy and agency, you are acknowledging their right to make choices for themselves and take action based on those choices. This can be empowering for the individual, as it allows them to take ownership of their decisions and their outcomes. As a coach, it is not your role to make decisions for the person you are working with. Instead, your role is to support them in exploring their options, considering the consequences of different choices, and ultimately making decisions that align with their values and goals. This requires you to listen actively, ask thought-provoking questions, and provide guidance without imposing your own agenda. When you respect a person's autonomy and agency in decision-making, you are showing that you trust and value their judgment. This can help to build a strong and positive relationship based on mutual respect and collaboration. It also encourages the person to take responsibility for their decisions and their actions, leading to greater accountability and personal growth.- Respecting a person's autonomy and agency in decision-making is essential for effective coaching. It allows the individual to take control of their own life and work towards their desired outcomes with confidence and integrity. By acknowledging and supporting their autonomy and agency, you can help them to achieve lasting change and transformation.
