Motivating Through Stagnation

Suggested Strategy: One thing to keep in mind is that there is no right or

wrong way to coach OTHER THAN not coaching! You’ll know when 30 -

second coaching is best, and you’ll know when a more detailed role -play

scenario makes more sense. When in doubt, always feel free to reach

out. With motivation, it’s important to recognize even the small things,

especially when someone feels like they’re stuck.

Suggested Questions:

→ Self-Actualized Question: What has kept you motivated in the past

when things get difficult? This can be in your personal or professional

life.

→ Risk Question: What things hinder your motivation? What risks do you

assume if you don’t understand the drawbacks to not being motivated?

→ Success Imperative: What can we do together to make you successful

and achieve your goals at work?

Suggested Activities:

→ Whiteboard Coaching: Write on the left side of the board how they

think their peers would currently describe their ability to self-motivate

during difficult times. Then on the right side of the board, write down

what they think ideal motivation looks like. Erase the left side of the

board and write down the steps that they think is necessary to become

more motivated as described on the right side of the board.
