→ Whiteboard Coaching: On the left side of a sheet of paper or a
whiteboard, write down how the employee thinks an outsider, such as
their best friend, looking in would describe their motivation at work. Now
on the right side, write down how the employee would ideally like to be
described by an outsider looking in. If using a whiteboard, erase the left
side of the board and write down what actions the employee thinks you
could take together to reach the description on the right side of the
board.
Suggested Learning Projects:
→ Journal-Based Coaching: Have your coaching target write down in a
journal the moments during the week when they feel the most motivated.
They should be prepared to bring the journal to the next coaching
session to discuss how the mentality in those moments can be utilized
during times where the employee may not feel so motivated.
→ Self-Directed Learning: Have your coaching target read The 7 Habits
of Highly Effective People , one chapter per week. Ask them to email
you by the end of the week three things taken away from each chapter
that they can utilize in their daily routine in the workplace.
Supplemental Coaching Strategies:
→ Non-Verbal Coaching: Leave the employee a hand-written note when
you notice they exhibited motivated behavior. Be specific of what they
did well and why it was appreciated.
