3D Ideas 736: Partnership

connect-20333_1920Claire writes: “Call centres often drive me bananas.  They probably drive many of the people who work there bananas, too.  So often I feel done to as they read out a set of pre-formed questions – none of which seem to get us any closer to solving my problem.  And then last week I find myself speaking to someone who wants to work with me to help resolve my questions, laughs and helps me get to where I need to be.

Partnership.  It’s useful. My name is Claire and I’m a person.  I like people treating me like a person.  And that’s why I am increasingly averse in this world of coaching and mentoring to any of the ee words – coachee, supervisee, mentee, (or client).  Because I am a person, and I listen to people. I don’t do things to them.  We work in partnership to get where they need to be.
