→ Role Play: Practice is the best way to build skill and confidence in
those skills. Ask the individual which parts of the definition of great
interpersonal skills that they feel they struggle with the most.
Practice those pieces in sample conversations that they may have
a hard time within an average interaction at work. After each
practice scenario, askthe individual to give themselves feedback
on what they did really well in that practice to build their
confidence.
Suggested Learning Projects:
→ Journal-Based Coaching: Assign your coaching target to keep a
journal with entries noting situations in the coming weeks where they
were required to put their interpersonal skills to the test. What strategies
did they take in those situations to mindfully practice their skills and what
were the perceived outcomes of their interactions? Did they notice any
differences between these conversations and similar ones that they had
had in the past?
→ Tangible Successes: Ask the individual to come back to your next
coaching session with the three interpersonal interactions they believed
to be the most successful from the week. What skills did they implement
to create a successful outcome from the interaction, and how can they
continue to practice these skills in similar scenarios going forward?
