Suggested Learning Projects:
Î Tangible Successes: Ask the individual to come back to your next coaching session with three examples of times where they were in a situation that was outside of their comfort zone. What strategy did they take to navigate that situation to have a successful outcome? How did facing that situation help put them closer to reaching their goals? Î Journal-Based Coaching: There is no doubt that this may be a scary and obviously uncomfortable process for the individual. Ask them to keep a journal in the coming weeks to get their thoughts on paper as they push themselves to get outside of their comfort zone. They should track in the journal how their efforts in those situations are helping them to reach their goals and become more comfortable in a variety of scenarios. They should note times where they felt that they were becoming more comfortable, as well as times where they still felt entirely uncomfortable and what they can do to combat that in the future.
Supplemental Coaching Strategies:
Î Non-Verbal Coaching: When you have the opportunity to observe the individual bravely navigating a situation that you know is outside of their comfort zone, share with them the specific efforts made that you had observed and let them know why those efforts are appreciated.
