→ Whiteboard Coaching: This type of coaching takes some of the
potentially uncomfortable feelings that the individual might experience in
being coached by giving them something to focus on rather than sitting
face to face with you. On the left side of the board, write down how the
individual would describe their current actions/behavior/abilities in the
area that they identified as having an opportunity to improve. On the
right side of the board, write down how the individual would describe
what the ideal actions/behavior/abilities in that area might look like in
their position. Then, erase the left side of the board (signifying that you
are moving past their current state) and brainstorm together the actions
that the individual must take to reach the ideal state on the right side of
the board and how those actions will attribute to their ultimate success.
Suggested Learning Projects:
→ Observational Coaching: Assign your coaching target to observe their
peers throughout the coming week, noting the actions of their peers
related to the area that the individual you are coaching is working to
improve. What takeaways from their observations can the individual put
into practice on their own as they work to make improvements in the
area they had identified? What did they learn from observing their peers
that they did not know before related to their area of improvement? How
do their peers find success in their actions/behaviors/abilities that the
individual you are coaching strives to reach? Discuss their observations
at your next coaching session.
