→ Peer-to-Peer Coaching: Have two peers interact weekly to discuss
some of the topics you covered in the group coaching session. Have the
employees summarize by crafting an email and sending their thoughts
to the whole team.
Suggested Learning Projects:
→ Non-Verbal Coaching: Starting at the beginning of the week, have
employees write down quick, encouraging messages on a post-it, and
place it in someone else’s workspace when they’re away. At the end of
the week, have employees summarize two takeaways from the activity
and email them to the whole team.
→ Observational Coaching: Have each employee observe at least one
other person on their team for ten minutes. Then, have them summarize
one thing they learned and email you directly.
→ Self-Directed Learning: Have each member of the team read the trust
chapter in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team . Have employees
summarize one point that really resonated with them, and one they took
issue with and why. Then, have the employees email you and CC
everyone else on the team to share their summaries.
Supplemental Coaching Strategies:
→ Team Lunches: This doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but even
eating lunch outside, or bringing food in to share will create an
environment where employees get to know each other outside of
the office atmosphere.
