why coach








 

What is “Coaching”?

Coaching is an inherent part of Six Sigma practitioners’ tasks.  As part of their routine activities, practitioners coach other belts, champions, process owners, stakeholders and teams.

Although inherent to successful Six Sigma initiatives, coaching -- like many endeavors such as parenting -- is not an intuitive capability. There are specific skills, knowledge, tools and techniques, part science and part art, that can enhance coaches’ capability to support  results in a Six Sigma initiative.

In addition to subject matter expertise in the Six Sigma tools and techniques, Six Sigma Coaches need knowledge and capabilities in the domains of intelligence (emotional, social, and cultural), relationships, communication, team building and behaviors, somatic balance, self-awareness/evaluation and self correcting skills, among others. Additionally there are many very practical coaching tools, techniques, models and methods coaches can use when coaching.
