  13. Setting the Stage for Coaching • Spell out your role (relation with his/her manager) • Respect structures for reporting • Clarify confidentiality • Remain objective

  14. Prepare for the Coaching Talk • Know what the outcomes are • Discuss current perceived situation • Discuss future options • Review options and alternative approaches • Get agreement on next steps • Get commitment for follow-up

  15. Some Stage Directions • Ask more questions than you give answers; rather don’t give answers • Have person describe another perspective • Give some quick feedback on manner, body language, language, and style • Be direct yet empathetic • Become a trusted partner

  16. Examples of Asking, Perspective & Feedback • What goals were in mind when you did…? • What do you think the other person was feeling at that time? • How else could we look at the situation? • From the other department’s perspective, what do you think their objective was? • Can I give you some “in the moment” feedback? • May I share with you how I felt when you said…?

  17. The Coaching Discussion Key Points • Listen carefully • Apply questions to the specific topic and desired outcome • People want feedback NOT answers • Don’t forget to give feedback • Look for alternatives; new ways to see and solve • Take it forward
