Avoiding Distractions
Suggested Strategy: Use Journal-Based Coaching to provide tangible success for the employee to track as they progress.
Suggested Questions:
Î Permission-Based Question + The Sword: Because I want to see you become successful in your position, with your permission I would like to share some observations with you so that I don’t make assumptions, because that would be unfair to you. When permission is granted, it is my perception that you struggle occasionally with avoiding distractions during the workday. Î Self-Actualized Question: What actions will you commit to taking in order to successfully avoid distractions during the workday?
Suggested Activities:
Î Whiteboard Coaching: On the left side of a whiteboard, write down how this person thinks that their peers would currently describe their ability to avoid distractions. On the right side of the board, write down how they would ideally like their peers to describe their ability to avoid distractions. Erase the left side of the board and write down the actions that they are willing to take to reach the description on the right side of the board. Î Teach Me: Give the person a sample situation of someone or something becoming distracting. Ask them to walk you through what actions they could take in that situation to avoid distractions and remain focused on their work.
