Suggested Learning Projects:
→ Journal-Based Coaching: Ask the employee to keep a journal in the
coming week – the entries should include observations of the reactions
of those around them. How do their peers respond to them when they
are not practicing positive body language? How about when they do
practice it? How do those observations make this person feel about
their relationships with their peers?
→ Tangible Successes: Have the employee come back to your next
coaching session with three examples of where they truly felt that they
exhibited positive body language in the office, and how did each of those
situations make them feel about how they presented themselves to their
peers?
Supplemental Coaching Strategies:
→ 30-Second Coaching: When you observe positive body language by
this person based on the definition that you agreed on in your coaching
conversation. Let them know specifically what actions they are taking
and how you notice that they are making a difference.
→ Observational Coaching: By having the employee observe the
reactions of those around them and the effect that their body language
can have on their surroundings, you are helping the person you are
coaching become invested in what happens around them and the effect
that they can have on others.
