Asking Questions to Dig Deeper
Suggested Strategy: Using a Risk Question and Peer-to-Peer Coaching, you can set your coaching target up for success in future conversations by helping them realize what they may be missing by not digging deeper in their interactions, as well as give them a platform to practice and gain confidence in their question-asking abilities.
Suggested Questions:
Î Third-Party Question: If we were to ask the members of your team how far they feel you dig into conversations to get more information; what do you think they might say? Î Risk Question: What risks do you think you might mitigate by asking questions to dig deeper for more information?
Suggested Activities:
Î Role Play: Help the individual become more comfortable in their question asking abilities by hosting a practice session. Ask the individual to come up with a base of questions that they can ask when digging deeper for more information in a conversation. Then, practice these newly developed questions in a role-play setting, with the individual playing the part of themselves, and you are the counterpart in the conversation. Try not to break out of roles until after the practice conversation is complete. After the practice, ask the individual to give themselves feedback on what they felt they were successful in accomplishing. Î Brainstorming: Work together with the individual to build a strategy of how to incorporate their new questions into their daily conversations at work, so that they are able to mitigate any risks that they may have previously experienced by not gathering all of the information they need.
