When was the last time you learned how to do something new? Was it:
- how to play an instrument?
- to drive to a new location?
- or perhaps how to use a new piece of software?
How did you learn to do that? By watching someone else, listening to live directions, reading the manual or jumping in and trying it?
Everyone learns differently – assuming each of your team members learns the same way as you is not the best plan of action (you know what they say about ass-u-me-ing!).
This week, ask your coachee how they like to learn and see if you can adapt your coaching style to theirs.
