Asking Questions to Dig Deeper
Suggested Strategy: Using a Risk Question and Peer-to-Peer Coaching,
you can set your coaching target up for success in future conversations
by helping them realize what they may be missing by not digging deeper
in their interactions, as well as give them a platform to practice and gain
confidence in their question-asking abilities.
Suggested Questions:
→ Third-Party Question: If we were to ask the members of your team
how far they feel you dig into conversations to get more information;
what do you think they might say?
→ Risk Question: What risks do you think you might mitigate by asking
questions to dig deeper for more information?
Suggested Activities:
→ Role Play: Help the individual become more comfortable in their
question-asking abilities by hosting a practice session. Ask the
individual to come up with a base of questions that they can ask when
digging deeper for more information in a conversation. Then, practice
these newly developed questions in a role-play setting, with the
individual playing the part of themselves, and you are the counterpart in
the conversation. Try not to break out of roles until after the practice
conversation is complete. After the practice, ask the individual to give
themselves feedback on what they felt they were successful in
accomplishing.
