“Content-rich” coaching is when you know how to do/have done what the client is doing.

• For younger leaders suffering from all clarity, no perspective. They aren't aware of what they shouldn't be doing and ought to be doing. 
• For older leaders with no clarity and all perspective. They see all the trees and it becomes incapacitating. They can't bring it to a focus. 
• For those with specific questions about ministry. Protect the boundaries of the coaching relationship and step into that place of "tell me what to do." 

Without diving deep into the sport of professional basketball, Brian and Chad take a look at the lessons we can learn from Steve Kerr, the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, who have won three championships in five years. Kerr doesn't yell or pace the sidelines. He listens and observes much more than he speaks. He creates an open and trusting atmosphere among some of the highest paid and talented athletes in the world. There is much we can learn from Steve Kerr and apply to our coaching and leadership.

1. Coach partners with the client by supporting the client to choose what happens in the session.
2. Coach partners with the client by inviting the client to respond in any way to the coach’s contributions and accepts the client’s response.
3. Coach partners with the client by playing back the client’s expressed possibilities for the client to choose from.
4. Coach partners with the client by encouraging the client to formulate his or her own learning.

Triple Loop Learning was discovered by Chris Argyris, a Harvard Professor. We discovered it in Robert Hargrove's book, Masterful Coaching.

The three loops are often called by different names, but one set of names are:

1. Action

2. Strategy

3. Identity
