Avoiding Distractions

Suggested Strategy: Use Journal-Based Coaching to provide tangible

success for the employee to track as they progress.

Suggested Questions:

→ Permission-Based Question + The Sword: Because I want to see

you become successful in your position, with your permission I would

like to share some observations with you so that I don’t make

assumptions, because that would be unfair to you. (When

permission is granted) It is my perception that you struggle

occasionally with avoiding distractions during the workday.

→ Self-Actualized Question: What actions will you commit to taking in

order to successfully avoid distractions during the workday?

Suggested Activities:

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

how this person thinks that their peers would currently describe their

ability to avoid distractions. On the right side of the board, write down

how they would ideally like their peers to describe their ability to avoid

distractions. Erase the left side of the board and write down the

actions that they are willing to take to reach the description on the

right side of the board.
