Suggested Learning Projects:
Î Self-Directed Learning: Assign your coaching target to seek out at least three networking opportunities that they can participate in within the next week or so. These can be in-person events, outreach to new connections through online platforms and the phone or asking for referrals through their current network. Î Tangible Successes: Have the individual come back to your next coaching session with three examples of situations where they were able to practice their networking skills — what actions did they take to make those conversations successful? What challenges did they face, and what specific actions will they take to combat those challenges going forward?
Supplemental Coaching Strategies:
Î Journal-Based Coaching: Ask the individual to keep a running journal as they work to improve their confidence in networking. They should track their progress in becoming more comfortable, the successes they have created for themselves, and the challenges they work through in the process. They should also note in their entries any new strategies and tips they have learned along the way and situations that they plan to practice them in.
