Coaching Promotes Respect, Civility, and Cooperation

Navigating the challenges of the last several years, we have seen the remarkable effect of respectful behavior, civility, and kind cooperation – and we have seen the devastation when these are absent. As human connection around the world has expanded, the need to treat others with kindness and respect has grown exponentially. 

Even as people benefit from cooperation and humility, so too do ideas. As organizational psychologist Adam Grant notes on his Twitter feed,

“A red flag of arrogance is seeing flaws in everyone's ideas but your own. You strive to prove your intelligence by attacking others. A green light of humility is applying critical thinking to your own ideas. You aim to improve your intelligence by learning from others.”  

Coaching encourages connection and cooperation by showing genuine interest in another. Coaching opens students to new perspectives and encourages thoughtful self-examination and grace around interactions with others. Someone who has the opportunity to strive for self-improvement in a coaching environment can bring that respect and civility to all whom they touch and become a more patient and thoughtful person in the process. 

Improve your world with coaching.
