Introduction for this Week's Assignment #4

Coaching One-On-One

Workshop Slides

Coaching Moments

Hello BVisionRYs! 

Thank you for attending and participating in our workshop (Coaching Moments); I enjoyed our learning time together! 

During the workshop, we practiced brief, focused moments where we blended essential coaching skills. Now, it is time to transition that intense, short-burst practice into the real-world rhythm of your leadership role. Remember: if you don’t put what you learned into deliberate practice, your tools will inevitably rust!

The purpose of this Assignment: 

This assignment is designed to help you bridge the gap between theory and immediate practice by fully embracing a Growth Mindset.

A Growth Mindset is the core belief that you can achieve challenging goals and overcome obstacles not by relying solely on innate talent, but by continuously learning, applying effort, and developing new skills.

This exercise serves as an additional practice opportunity where you can intentionally self-evaluate what is working well for you and what requires further focus in the complex, challenging setting of your regular 1:1s.

From Conscious to Spontaneous: Your Skill Progression

We are moving from the short, focused Coaching Moments to longer Coaching 1:1 sessions. Like all new things we learn, we follow a progression:

  1. Conscious Focus: You consciously remind yourself of the coaching steps and actively apply the models. This requires significant mental effort, and that is okay!
  2. Intentional Practice: You commit to practicing intentionally and frequently.
  3. Spontaneous Execution: With enough repetition, the skills become integrated and automatic, requiring little to no effort. This is where true coaching fluency lives.

The process for completing this task:

For the next five days, you are committed to integrating these skills into your team member 1:1 meetings. This is your chance to experiment with longer, more comprehensive coaching dialogues.

You will report back on your experience by answering three key reflective questions:

  1. What Worked Well: Detail specific instances or conversations where your coaching skills delivered a positive outcome for the team member.
  2. What Did Not Work / Challenges Encountered: Describe the moments where you struggled, felt awkward, or realized the conversation veered off course.
  3. Area for Improvement: Based on your experience, identify one or two specific skills (e.g., active listening, powerful questioning, goal setting) that you will focus on mastering next.

I hope this helps you get the content you need!
