Suggested Learning Projects:
Î 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? Î 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:
Î 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. Î 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.
