Purpose

Resources

This will take approximately 15 minutes. No equipment is required.

Notes to coach

Use this to help the coachee identify positive or good performance and behaviour traits.

Instructions

Ask the coachee to think about the person who is the best in the world at this task or skill (this may be a real or imaginary person). Ask the coachee to imagine watching that person do the task and to ask him- or herself the following questions:

• What can I see?

• What can I hear?

• What actions is the person taking?

• How are people responding to the person?

Use the answers to these questions to produce a list of behaviours and traits that the coachee wants to develop.
