Self-Awareness
Suggested Strategy: Determine what you would like this person to be self-aware of. What is it that you would like them to improve on and then coach to the awareness of that improvement?
Suggested Questions:
Î Permission-Based Question + The Sword: Use the words: we, share, opportunity, perception, permission as well as the sword. For example: “With your permission, and so that I don’t make any assumptions because that would be unfair to you, I would like to share some observations that I have made, as well as some opportunities that we can take advantage of to help you….” When permission is granted, use a phrase like, “it is my perception that _______________ (insert what you have observed here).” Î Opposite Insertion Question: What will you do to positively/ successfully/energetically _____________? Use whichever word fits the behavior that you would like to plant a seed with this person regarding what you are coaching them to be self-aware of.
Suggested Activities:
Î Whiteboard Coaching: Whatever behavior that you would like this person to be self-aware of and improve, have them describe their
current behavior regarding that topic. Then, on the right side of the board, write down their description of the ideal behavior. Erase the left side of the board and write down what actions this person must take to reach the description on the right side of the board. Whiteboard Coaching is a great tool in coaching for change, especially with someone that may not know how to change.
