Being Prepared for Meetings

Suggested Strategy: Utilizing a Rating Question with Whiteboard

Coaching, you can help bring the individual’s awareness to their current

state of preparedness for meetings, while simultaneously guiding them

to structure a strategy to increase that level going forward.

Suggested Questions:

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

you are 100% prepared with all materials and information needed for all

meetings, and one being that you are not prepared at all for any

meetings, where would you rate yourself and why?

→ Success Imperative: What will you specifically do going forward to

successfully and completely prepare for meetings and ensure that you

are mitigating any risks that might come with being unprepared?

Suggested Activities:

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

how the individual believes their team would describe their current level

of preparedness for meetings. On the right side of the board, write down

what they would describe as the ideal definition for what it looks like to

be completely prepared for meetings. Then, erase the left side of the

board and work together with the individual to build a strategy and a list

of actions to be taken going forward so that the individual works toward

reaching the ideal description remaining on the right side of the board.
