✅ Three Ways to Achieve Faster Coaching Impact

Fast coaching isn’t faster talk—it’s sharper focus. Narrow the lane, shorten the distance, raise the signal.

Frame first: Time + outcome.

• “We have 12–15 min. What must we leave with—a decision, shortlist, or first step?”

Skip history. Harvest learning.

• Ask: “What did you learn that helps right now?” Not: “What have you tried?”

Invite brevity on purpose.

• “One sentence: real challenge?”

• “Headline it.”

• “TL;DR—what are you leaning toward?”

12-minute sprint:

• 0–2 Frame outcome

• 2–4 One-sentence challenge

• 4–6 Key learning

• 6–9 Three quick options

• 9–11 Choose + why

• 11–12 Commit: what/when/how measured

Micro-scripts:

• “Finishable in this window?”

• “Single biggest constraint?”

• “Name risk + mitigation in one line.”

• “One sentence: what did you decide?”

Guardrails:

• Vague outcomes waste time.

• Learning > timeline.

• You own process; coachee owns decisions.

Speed comes from focus: one outcome, one insight, one action. Then go.
