Suggested Learning Projects:

→ Peer-to-Peer Coaching: Reinforce the practice from the activity by having the employee you are coaching meet with a new peer each

week to practice connection-building conversations with members. The

employee should ask their peer for feedback after each practice

conversation, emailing you after each one (and copying their peer that

they practiced with) to tell you something they felt they did well,

something they could have improved upon, and what strategy they will

implement to make those improvements.

Supplemental Coaching Strategies:

→ Journal-Based Coaching : Ask the employee to keep a running journal through the coming weeks with entries noting times during the

week where they felt that they made a true effort to build a connection

with a member while they were assisting them. What was the outcome

as a result of their efforts? How can they utilize that connection in the

future with that member to best serve them going forward?

→ Observational Coaching: At your next coaching session, discuss the employee’s observations related to the strategies used by their peers to

build strong connections with the members they work with. Discuss two

or three takeaways from their observations that they could put into

practice in their own interactions with members.
