Level of Trust. The client has to trust the coach enough to

bring the coach directly into his live work setting. Trust entails

two key elements: (1) the belief that the coach will not overstep

his boundaries in the client’s work life, and (2) the coach will

not confront the client with a disrespectful challenge in front of

her employees . This is tricky business because the purpose of live-action coaching is to effectively challenge the client in front of

others in a way that the client welcomes as highly useful. The

client needs to know that you act respectfully when you chal-

lenge her and also needs to trust that you will not overstep your

bounds and act as a replacement for the client with the client’s

employees.

Because of these fi ne lines, live-action coaching usually follows

an established client-coach relationship that is already working

effectively. I use this coaching either when executives have been

long-term clients or they have shown their capacity to receive

feedback from me and learn from it during the extensive contract-

ing and planning phases for live team coaching. Both the coach

and the client have already walked down the path of immediacy

and feedback to the extent that they are ready for live-action

coaching.
