Professional Emails

Suggested Strategy: Use a Define & Coach strategy to ensure that the

employee understands the expectations that you have for them related

to composing professional emails.

Suggested Questions:

→ Define & Coach: When I say the phrase professional emails , how do

you think you would specifically define it as it relates to your position?

→ Third-Party Question: If we were to ask a client to describe your

current typical email, what do you think they might say?

→ Self-Actualized Question: What actions or strategies are you willing to

take to ensure that you are practicing the definition we just discussed

each time you compose an email?

Suggested Activities:

→ Whiteboard Coaching: On the left side of a whiteboard, write down the

description of their current email abilities as they believed a client might

describe it. On the right side of the board, write down the ideal definition

of professional email that you discussed at the beginning of the

conversation. Then, erase the left side of the board and brainstorm

ideas for a strategy for the employee to take each time they compose an

email to ensure that they are following that ideal definition.
