Coaching Conversations in 2025

First of all, realize one thing conversations are powerful! What we say and how we say it has a major impact whether fair or unfair.

Let's look at how conversations can negatively affect the workplace

1. The water cooler - gossip central.
2. Come into to my office - uh oh what did I do wrong?
3. So-and-so told me... - ahhh not going to the source always create issues.
4. The emotional interpretation - people react emotionally versus rationally asking themselves what ca I learn when getting feedback.
5. The Maniac response - my boss ALWAYS attacks me or they never give me a chance.

Now let's look at how conversations can positively affect the workplace

1. From water cooler to coffee break - lets just chat and learn about one another to deepen our connection.
2. Come into my office - you are doing a (specific) great job! Now the positive stuff can spread.
3. So-and-so told me so I want to learn from you ... - connections learning from one another can spread connections and knowledge.
4. The written communication - send a card praising and that message will last a long time.
5. The self-actualized question - "what will you do successfully ... fill in the blank" and watch them react positively as the questions helps frame out their response and reaction.

Conversations are hard. The cool thing about what's happening in the training and development and talent world is that leaders and organizations are finally realizing coaching is not just something we'd like to do if we had time. It is now moved into an arena of, We Must Coach Our Employees. This requires leaders to have conversational ability, the ability to ask questions, to truly listen, to actively listen, and to cooperate in a process where somebody feels like somebody is invested in them. Now, this sounds easy on the surface yet it requires practice. Think about sales people, a longstanding profession for decades. Sales people have been taught how to ask open-ended questions. Yet, if you ask a customer, what's the one thing they dislike about sales people? They typically say they talk too much. Think about that decades of training and a whole industry, still battles what leaders now have to gravitate from. Coaching is asking questions of what people can or cannot do. Ultimately. leaders facilitate participating in scheduled sessions where skill and behavioral improvement is sought. This is not easy as conversations need to be open ended with active listening and not thinking about what we want to say while somebody is talking. This is much more difficult than people think. It's okay not to be a great conversationalist. It's not okay to not practice and work on this craft.

Many leaders continue to struggle with the thought of having coaching or even conversations virtually. The challenge is we must change our mindset their coaching is not something that is geographic quite frankly coaching virtually at times can have tremendous advantages. Virtual work is NOT the cause of fatigue, rather how we handle working virtually is our opportunity to fight fatigue.

I was speaking with one of our clients that we directly coach, and she was sharing how much she hears the word fatigue and words speaking to a lack of motivation. As we were talking, she had shared her company was in a hybrid world and we both started to do some interesting math together. We started to add up the time savings associated with being in a hybrid world and here is what we produced:

• Three days a week typically equals about four hours of no driving time.
• We estimated a savings of about 2.5 hours a week of just bumping into people and having idle social conversation. I know this is valuable but just bear with me as we go through this.
• We estimated about one hour a week savings time associated by not being able to have impromptu meetings
• In total we estimated about six hours a week or 24 hours monthly of actual time savings associated with their hybrid world.

We both embarked on a mission to ascertain if people even understood that this was occurring as well as if they did understand what they were doing to reinvest those time savings. The fatigue can certainly come from a variety of sources such as the following:

• Not interacting with teammates or connecting in person.
• People not reinvesting that time and staying in the moment thinking and feeling that fatigue as weird as that sounds people must realize if tired, they must do the opposite regarding an action that will energize them, and the same principle applies to fatigue.
• People have become very short-term thinkers specific to themselves such as how they are feeling or the impact of this new world and how it has affected them. Working in your home certainly has its advantages but you can also mentally feel like you never get away so then the opportunity to alter this is to get away.

Here are five suggestions leaders can implement even in a virtual world to energize and fight the effects
