Suggested Learning Projects:
Î Peer-to-Peer Coaching: Assign your coaching target to meet with two of their peers once each during the week. Ask them to interview their peers about how they handle distractions. What actions do they take to avoid distractions? What strategy do they apply to get back on track when they do become distracted? How do they keep themselves organized so that distractions are minimal? They should email you after each meeting with what they learned, as well as two things that they can apply to their own strategy in avoiding distractions. Î Journal-Based Coaching: Throughout the week, have the employee keep a running journal entry of times where they felt most distracted during the day. What was the distraction, and what effect did it have on their focus? Be prepared to discuss the journal entries at your next coaching session.
Supplemental Coaching Strategies:
Î 30-Second Coaching: Take 30 seconds to verbally acknowledge a time where you observed this person avoiding distractions and staying focused. Let them know what effect their focus had on their productivity, and that you appreciate their efforts.
