THE AAAA APPROACH. (WITH A SECRET A FOR SOME.)<\/p>\n
When it comes to coaching, I\u2019ve developed a simple method that really works.<\/p>\n
I call it the AAAA approach.
\nMaybe for some of you there\u2019s an extra A.
\nBut we\u2019ll get to that in a moment.<\/p>\n
The AAAA is built up like this:<\/p>\n
A \u2013 AWARENESS. As a coach it\u2019s my job to show you all the possibilities when it comes to your communication. This includes showing you different ways to expand your vocabulary so that you don\u2019t have to rely on the same words over and over again.<\/p>\n
A \u2013 ABSORPTION. After my session you need time to take it all in. I share so many tips and tricks you need to marinate to let it all sink in and become part of your new communication style. This requires a lot of thinking and analysis about how you speak and write.<\/p>\n
A \u2013 ACTIVATION. Once you have absorbed the new information, then you start activating and applying it! Use it or lose it, right? This is learning by doing. Just reading about it is not enough! Your mouth has to put in the work.<\/p>\n
A \u2013 ADVICE. After you have started applying and activating what you are learning, then it\u2019s time for clear and honest feedback about how you are implementing all the new information in your own communication style. And coaching on how to continue that progress and get it to the next level.<\/p>\n
Those are my 4 As. But for some people, they\u2019ve told me that there is one more. A hidden A, if you will. The secret, 5th A, for some people\u2026.is this:<\/p>\n
A- A**HOLE. Once you start coaching, you start hearing so many mistakes that others are making and you start correcting your colleagues and they start to think you\u2019re pretty annoying! This is nasty for them, but it shows how aware you are of English and how you have internalised all the feedback! \ud83d\ude05\ud83d\ude05\ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n
(I of course have zero control over this secret A.)<\/p>\n
