Two ways to bring it to your team
One-on-one coaching on each of your people
Before a one-on-one, you work through the person in front of you with a coach: what’s driving them, what’s really in the way, and where to start the conversation. Person by person, across your whole team.
It runs in Design to Coach, the coaching room online, where your coach is Silas.
Training for your leaders
Working sessions for leadership teams that teach the method from the book: diagnose before you prescribe. Leaders work on their own people in the session, one person at a time.
Three words, in order
Believe
See the person in front of you.
Look past the behavior to what’s really driving it. Every person brings something no one else has, and the leader who can see it can coach to it.
Understand
Find the real problem.
Belief, skill or strategy? From across the desk each one looks like the others, and each one needs a different conversation.
Decide
Choose your move.
Decide what to do with what you now see. The right words only work once the diagnosis is right.
The method comes from the book I Said the Right Thing. And Nothing Changed.
