→ Weekly Check-Ins: This sounds like a lot to ask, but this could be in
the form of an email, text, or phone call. Millennials do well when they
know their employer is truly invested in their growth. The simple act of
reaching out to check their progress can do a lot.
o Together, come up with their specific goals for your weekly
check-ins. Do you simply want to form a relationship, or are you
looking to develop goals that are more high level?
Suggested Learning Projects:
→ Journal-Based Coaching: Have your coaching target journal their
progress to reach their goals. Frame this in a weekly format by requiring
them to summarize their thoughts into two successes, two challenges,
and one observation.
→ Peer-to-Peer Coaching: Pair this employee up with someone they look
up to or aspire to be like in terms of career alignment. Have them meet
once a month to discuss their career goals and challenges they’ve come
across. Have them use their journal as a point of reference for
discussion.
Supplemental Coaching Strategies:
→ Non-Verbal Coaching: Write the employee a note and leave it on their
desk when you notice that he/she is tackling all that is asked of them in
their job based on the description you discussed in your coaching
session – be specific in what they are doing well and why it is
appreciated by you.
