Coaching conversations Discuss the following: What was/is the situation? How did you find using the GROW model? What coaching questions did/will you ask? If you have held coaching conversations with team members: What went well? What would you do differently? Do you have any other insights from the conversation?

Development conversations Discuss the following: How did you structure your conversation? What good questions did you ask? How did you demonstrate effective listening skills? If you have held a development conversation with a team member: What went well? What would you do differently? Do you have any other insights you got from the conversation?

A coaching-friendly environment Trust and openness is by far the most important element. Your team must feel that they can be open without fear of punishment or damage to their career, and you must behave consistently in a way that reinforces the trust. See mistakes as learning opportunities. In reality, mistakes create problems, but when mistakes, failed initiatives, and unintended outcomes are analysed, you can extract some learning value.
