Adapting to Change
Suggested Strategy: Whiteboard Coaching as both a strategy for the conversation as well as a visual distraction, giving them something to look at other than you to take some of the uncomfortable feelings out of the conversation.
Suggested Questions:
Î Rating Question: On a scale of one to six, with six being complete flexibility and acceptance, and one being the opposite, where would you rate yourself on how well you adapt to change? *If their answer is below a six: what actions can we take together to help you reach a six?
Î Risk Question: What risks do you think you might assume by not allowing yourself to adapt to change?
Suggested Activities:
Î Whiteboard Coaching: Draw a line horizontally across the board. On the right side, write down the phrase “Complete Success” — below that write five bullet points of what complete success looks like in this person’s position. On the left side of the line, write the phrase “Resistance to Change.” Draw five vertical marks along the line, and at the top of the board write the word “Change”. The whiteboard now becomes the coach with no emotional input or reactions, as the whiteboard is providing the facts. By this person completing the learning project described below, you are helping them gain buy-in to their own success.
