Essential Questions to GROW Your Team

Using new coaching skills at work can be pretty daunting. Thinking up questions "in the moment" can put you under extra pressure, and when you're already stretching into a new way of talking to your team that can feel stressful. You want to use your new coaching conversation skills, but you don't have time to create questions to support you.

What if you had a collection of ideas for questions to ask in some of the most common conversations at work? Conversations like these:

• Creating performance objectives
• Coaching under performance
• Creating career goals
• Debriefing a project
• Identifying motivators
• Creating better work-life balance
• Coaching over or under-utilisation
• Encouraging involvement
• Exploring talents
• Coaching for retirement
• Coaching a workplace returner
• Presentation skills coaching
• Coaching a sensitive personal issue
• Coaching to embed learning
• Coaching to explore sales outcomes
• Growing HR Business Partner skills
• Growing a Coaching Culture
• Backwards Coaching
• Event Planning
• Solution focused coaching questions

Use it as a guide to design your own conversations, or to help your team reflect on what they might like to talk to you about. You can even use it as a companion for delivering training programmes that teach coaching.
