Final Take Away…Your Coachee Workplan [1]
• Interview Your Coach/Mentor Candidate and discuss how the two of you will:• 1. Establish Your Goal(s)
• Use SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound.
• 2. Examine Your Current Reality• What is happening now (what, who, when, and how often)? What is the effect or result
of this?• Do goal conflicts exist?
• 3. Explore Your Options• Brainstorm as many good options as possible. • Discuss these and decide on the best ones.

Final Take Away…Your Coachee Workplan [2]• Interview Your Coach/Mentor Candidate and discuss how the two of
you will:• 4. Establish the Will to Move Forward
• How can you commit to specific actions in order to move forward towards the goal(s)?• What obstacles, issues, concerns, or barriers exist to impede progress?
• 5. Obtain and Incorporate Feedback• What tools are used to construct Emotional Intelligence skills and construct a feedback
model?• How will the Coach motivate the Coachee with Reward, Recognition, and
Reinforcement?
• Look for empathy, integrity, honesty, authenticity, active listening, support when it is needed, and the ability to ask more senior coaches for advice.
