Finding Success Rather Than Focusing on Failure

Suggested Strategy: It is often easy to focus on the sense of failure when

something does not go as planned. Coaching the individual to find the

opportunities that come about because of a perceived “failure” will help

them to shift their focus on something more positive. Utilize Whiteboard

Coaching to build a strategy with the individual for addressing situations

where they may feel like they have failed.

Suggested Questions:

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

with six representing that you are quick to

find a way to find something positive out of a

situation where things did not go as planned,

and one being that you tend to only focus on

the perceived “negative” outcome of the

situation, where do you think you would rate

yourself and why?

→ Success Imperative: What steps do you

think we can specifically take together to help

you reach a six and find more positive

opportunities out of situations where things

may not have gone as planned?
