Intimidated by Supervisors
Suggested Strategy: Use a Story-Based Coaching strategy to help make their struggles relatable to others. Pair this with a Whiteboard Coaching strategy to help them have a plan for interacting with their supervisors going forward.
Suggested Questions:
Î Rating Question: On a scale of one to six, with six representing that you are entirely comfortable speaking with any supervisor at any time and one representing that you are terrified of your supervisors and refuse to speak with them, where would you rate yourself and why?
Î Risk Question: What risks do you think you might mitigate by becoming comfortable in speaking with supervisors?
Suggested Activities:
Î Whiteboard Coaching: On the left side of a whiteboard, write down how the individual would currently describe their strategy for approaching their supervisors and what their interactions look like. On the right side of the board, write down how they would define what it looks like to be entirely comfortable approaching supervisors and how those interactions would ideally look. Then, erase the left side of the board and ask the individual to brainstorm with you a list of actions that you can take together to help them become less intimidated by their supervisors. Î Role Play: Have practice conversations with your coaching target to help them become more comfortable in interacting with their supervisors.
