Intimidated by Supervisors

Suggested Strategy: Use a Story-Based Coaching strategy to help make

their struggles relatable to others. Pair this with a Whiteboard Coaching

strategy to help them have a plan for interacting with their supervisors

going forward.

Suggested Questions:

→ Rating Question: On a scale of one to six, with six representing that

you are entirely comfortable speaking with any supervisor at any time

and one representing that you are terrified of your supervisors and

refuse to speak with them, where would you rate yourself and why?

→ Risk Question: What risks do you think you might mitigate by

becoming comfortable in speaking with supervisors?

Suggested Activities:

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

how the individual would currently describe their strategy for

approaching their supervisors and what their interactions look like. On

the right side of the board, write down how they would define what it

looks like to be entirely comfortable approaching supervisors and how

those interactions would ideally look. Then, erase the left side of the

board and ask the individual to brainstorm with you a list of actions

thatyou can take together to help them become less intimidated by

their supervisors.
