SUMMARY

The field of expert performance offers many pointers for how you and your client can build your expertise in a purposeful manner.

Experts tend to have conscious – as opposed to unconscious or subconscious – competence. Explore with your coachee how he defines ‘expertise’ in the topic being coached. The generic definition of ‘reproducible superior performance’ can be a useful starting-point.

Experts develop their own schemata – mental maps of knowledge. What maps does/might your client use?

Related to schemata, explore how your client ‘chunks’ information. What processes does he use to discriminate between the relative importance of different stimuli? Can he experiment with new ways of ‘chunking’?

Can you use the techniques of deliberate practice to increase your own skill in coaching: through what new challenges or with what novel approaches have you recently stretched yourself?

Where the goal is to develop a complex skill – such as leadership – you may need to help your client go beyond the neat application of deliberate practice and to work with more holistic and immersive ‘crucible’ experiences.
