Motivating Through Stagnation
Suggested Strategy: One thing to keep in mind is that there is no right or wrong way to coach OTHER THAN not coaching! You’ll know when 30-second coaching is best, and you’ll know when a more detailed role-play scenario makes more sense. When in doubt, always feel free to reach out. With motivation, it’s important to recognize even the small things, especially when someone feels like they’re stuck.
Suggested Questions:
Î Self-Actualized Question: What has kept you motivated in the past when things get difficult? This can be in your personal or professional life. Î Risk Question: What things hinder your motivation? What risks do you assume if you don’t understand the drawbacks to not being motivated? Î Success Imperative: What can we do together to make you successful and achieve your goals at work?
Suggested Activities:
Î Whiteboard Coaching: Write on the left side of the board how they think their peers would currently describe their ability to self-motivate during difficult times. Then on the right side of the board, write down what they think ideal motivation looks like. Erase the left side of the board and write down the steps that they think is necessary to become more motivated as described on the right side of the board.
