Your Guide to Coaching

STEP 1

Start the conversation with your team and take the initiative to be a part of our success. Use the getAbstract “The Coaching Habit" to get started.

STEP 2

Schedule a team meeting to discuss the questions.

STEP 3

Have a discussion with your team or reflect on the questions.

Discussion Questions:

Name the 7 crucial managers must help their
teams members answer.
What is stopping you from holding a weekly
coaching conversation with your direct reports?
Are you actively listening when coaching or
just waiting to give criticism? How do you know the difference?
What steps will you take to strengthen your coaching style?

Take away:

Coaches should ask “seven essential questions” to help people reach their own solutions. Proper coaching helps employees enhance their skills and master their jobs. You can coach someone in “10 minutes or less,” so make coaching a daily routine.

“Building a coaching habit will help you and your team reconnect to the work that not only has impact, but has meaning as well.”
