Suggested Activities:
→ Role Play: Practice a scenario where you are a peer and the employee
is him/herself and you engage in a conversation about something that
absolutely needs to be addressed. Note the employee’s tone, body
language, and ability to effectively hold the conversation. Ask the
employee after Role Play two things they think they did well, and two
things they think they could have improved based on your definition of
candor.
→ Whiteboard Coaching: On the left side of the whiteboard, write down
how the employee thinks their peers would currently describe their
transparency and honesty in conversation. Now on the right side of the
board, write down how the employee would ideally like to be described
when it comes to their transparency and honesty. Erase the left side of
the board and write down actions that you and the employee can take
together to help them reach the description on the ideal side of the
board.
Suggested Learning Projects:
→ Observational Coaching: Your coaching target should observe the
conversations that happen around them throughout the day. Have them
keep a journal entry daily of what happened in the conversation, what
the employee thinks was executed well in terms of your definition of
candor, and what they think could have been executed better and how
they would improve the conversation. Bring the journal entries to the
next coaching session.
