Colleagues,
MVP: Three more questions… Yesterday I shared the three basic reflective questions you need. If you want to go deeper, you can ask these questions:
I break down why each of these questions is important and how to use them in this week’s podcast. You don’t need to be a school leader to get value from this episode. Today’s intention: Use one of the questions. Cheers! Frederick

Colleagues,
MVP: Memorize these three questions and you will be able to help people reflect deeply. If you only learn three reflective conversations, it should be these:
These questions comprise what I refer to as 5-minute coaching, which was the topic of one of the presentations I gave last week. Speaking of which… I need your help. My goal for 2025 is to do 25 speeches and presentations. I have a brief questionnaire to collect feedback from readers here. It will take less than five minutes. The reward for giving me feedback is a link to the video of my 5-minute coaching presentation from last week. Today’s intention: Use these three questions to do a 5-minute coaching session!!! Cheers! Frederick Colleagues,
MVP: Reflection is a critical tool for growth and leaders can help people reflect. The focus this week is on asking reflective questions. There are five basic ways people acquire new knowledge and skills. The single most important one is reflection. The awesome news for us is that we don’t need specialized knowledge to help people reflect! We only need to do four things:
The power of reflective coaching is in the space you are providing for others. You don’t need to provide advice – that’s actually counterproductive. Just ask the right questions and listen to the answers. In this morning’s podcast I’ll conduct and evaluate a couple different groups of reflective questions. Thanks again to IXL for sponsoring today’s episode. Cheers! Frederick Colleagues,
MVP: You can help people grow simply by asking reflective questions. Last week I did a conference session on five-minute coaching*. I began the session by having people pair off into an A and a B couple. A’s asked the five-minute coaching questions and B’s had the opportunity to reflect. The entire room was alive with enthusiasm and optimism as the B’s reflected on their own leadership practice. What's really remarkable is that the A’s did not know what five-minute coaching was and in many cases the leaders did not know each other. Just ask a reflective question and give the person space to respond. That’s good enough. *If you are brand new here, the five-minute coaching questions are:
Frederick Colleagues,
MVP: Presence is simple, but not always easy. Establishing full presence is simple. Say their name. Look at them, and think, “this is THE most important person in my world right now.” It isn’t always easy, but it is simple. Every interaction, you have the opportunity. Whether you were fully present in your last interaction has no bearing on whether you will be fully present for the next one. Every interaction is a new beginning. How beautiful is that? Cheers!
