Question 1: My being present and focused on our conversation as made him focused as well. He seemed to take my ideas to heart and asked for more information and what steps to take to achieve my suggestions. He also was more at ease talking to me.

Question 4: Yes we went back to his desk and I showed him where to search things he was looking for and sent him some links to ones I thought were good. Since then we have talked about a few he has taken so far.

Some thoughts:

Question 1: how did your “presence” affect the individual you were coaching? You did a good job of describing what you did but didn’t provide much evidence of the impact on the person you were coaching. NEED MORE.

Question 2: your answer is interesting; at one point “it wasn’t that sort of conversation” and then “but I did recover and found a couple [questions]….” Excellent! For a coach, any coaching conversation provides an opportunity for Powerful Questions. It’s just a matter of knowing when to use them. It’s possible that at least part of your conversation with the individual wasn’t actually coaching. That happens. DONE.

Question 3: DONE.

Question 4: Did a plan of action (W-when) come out of the conversation? Is he following up? Otherwise, DONE.
