Claire writes: “At Coaching for Excellence tomorrow we will be talking about how to coach in 5 minutes.  Of course it’s very different from a full blown sit down conversation.  And people find that it is far more productive than they imagined. Five full minutes to stand up and think about something with a thinking partner is a gift. So is the shift of a conversation from:
‘I know you’re really busy, but I’d like to talk to you’ when we reply ‘I’ve only got five minutes so let’s book an hour conversation at another time.’

to ‘I have a good five minutes now – if that’s useful, what would you like to talk about?’

When we know the other person is here to help us think, and we know they won’t suddenly walk off or take a phone call, five minutes might be enough.”
