How does professional experience influence a coach's effectiveness?
A coach's effectiveness is often evaluated by his or her professional background and problem-solving ability. When questioned about his or her competence, a coach must be able to demonstrate relevant experience in the subject matter. There are two main sources of knowledge: theoretical study and practical experience. Understanding how knowledge is acquired can be key to improving professional practice.
What is theoretical knowledge?
- Formal education: Comprises academic studies such as university degrees and courses.
- Informal consumption: Involves continuous learning through videos, social networks and daily reading.
Both types of knowledge are important and complementary, but not sufficient on their own to develop complete expertise without corresponding practice.
How do you get practical experience?
Practical experience is derived directly from facing real problems. The reasons for seeking this type of experience are diverse:
- Problem solving: Some people are naturally drawn to challenges, seeing each complicated problem as a learning opportunity.
- Promotion and advancement: Others may be motivated by opportunities for promotion or salary increases.
- Independence: The desire to make decisions without constant supervision from a boss.
- Balance: Prioritizing a balanced professional and personal life.
- Stability: Seeking a predictable and secure career path.
Robert Katz identified three types of experiential problems that arise in the workplace:
- Technical problems: Handling specific tools, such as Excel or color palettes.
- Conceptual problems: Analyzing general situations to offer strategic solutions.
- Human problems: Motivating teams or individuals to improve their performance and motivation.
Reflect on what type of problem motivates you the most, this will direct you towards the type of experience that will enrich you as a professional and educator.
What are the basic educational models for a coach?
Being an effective coach requires educational knowledge beyond field experience. Among the fundamental models that a good educator should handle are:
What is Socratic questioning?
Socratic questioning is a teaching technique that emphasizes the use of questions rather than clear answers. A coach should be prepared to:
- Ask questions that aid memorization.
- Ask questions that guide the learning process.
- Customize questions to the specific needs of the student.
Through this technique, the client is empowered in their learning process, leading them to explore and discover for themselves.
How do multiple intelligences influence?
Proposed by Howard Gardner, the concept of multiple intelligences proposes that people learn in different ways according to their types of intelligence. Among these:
- Kinesthetic intelligence: learning based on movement and physical action.
- Intrapersonal intelligence: Reflection and self-analysis through writing and meditation.
The role of the coach is to identify the predominant intelligence of his client in order to adapt his methods and facilitate more efficient learning.
What is Bloom's taxonomy?
This model describes the levels of skills during learning, starting from basic skills to complex mental processes. These levels include:
- Memorization: Remembering simple information and facts.
- Comprehension: Assimilating and conceptualizing information.
- Application and analysis: Using and decomposing information to solve problems.
- Synthesis and evaluation: Generating new ideas or solutions based on acquired knowledge.
As a coach, it is crucial to assess where clients are at in order to challenge them and help them progress to higher levels.
By applying these models, you not only strengthen your expertise as a coach, but also better guide your clients to unlock their full potential. Become an inspirational guide and make a difference in the world!

Socratic questioning is the way of teaching without saying things, but only by asking questions. A good Socratic teacher or Socratic coach will be trained to ask the right questions at the right time. There are three dimensions to every question. Questions that will help people memorize the content, questions that will help people through the process of learning how to do certain things, and processing questions.
The concept of multiple intelligences was developed by Howard Gardner a few decades ago and has to do with identifying what is the best way for a student to learn.
