This is obviously the best kind of coaching.  When we see this in the sports setting, we see a coach on the sideline saying something to the player right then and there because it is fresh in everyone’s mind.  In the moment coaching is great when it can be handled appropriately.  You do not want to be doing in the moment coaching with someone in front of their peers.  Most people do not like that.  In the moment could be when you are having a meeting with your direct report and they are stuck on an issue.  That is a great time to use the coaching process to solve the issue and identify some new practices.
