​MVP: Use 5-minute coaching to coach up the ladder

I’ve been doing a lot of training around the 5-minute coaching technique (see below) the past six weeks.

One of the things I need to emphasize more is that 5-minute coaching is a great tool for coaching your peers as well as those “above” you.

Use the questions to coach up in the following situations:

• After a difficult meeting
• At the end of the week
• After a win (which makes answering questions 2 and 3 easier)
• When trying to separate symptoms from problems

You can also coach yourself. I 5-minute coach myself after every event (example here).

Cheers!

• Be: Fully present
• Ask: What went well? 
• Ask: Did anything surprise you? 
• Ask: Would you do anything differently? 
• Say: Thank you for sharing!
