Professionalism

Suggested Strategy: Whether this person has just started in the

professional world, or has been in it for some time, there is not a

standardized and taught definition for the word professionalism. Set a

definition for the professionalism that you are looking for from this

person, so that both parties are on the same page regarding what is

expected.

Suggested Questions:

→ Define & Coach: When I present you with the word

professionalism,what definition comes to mind as it

relates to your position?

→ Self-Actualized Question: What specific actions will you

take goingforward to exhibit the definition of

professionalism that we just discussed?

Suggested Activities:

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

write down how this person would currently describe themselves

professionally. On the right side of the board, write down how this

person would ideally liketo be described professionally. Then, erase the

left side of the board and write down the actions that this person is

willing to take to reach the description on the right side of the board.
