Step 8: Be a coach, not a cop

1. Access the Leader as Coach summary in the online book resources.
2. Take a look at the questions provided for each of the steps and pick several ones that resonate strongly with you. These are questions you will be confident asking. Feel free to reword them into the sort of language you might use.
3. Use these questions to practice a three-step coaching conversation with another person. It is fine to tell them you are trying something new and ask them for feedback at the end about how you did and what you can change to be more effective.
4. In many conversations, you won’t need to follow the three-step coaching process but that doesn’t mean you should stop asking questions. Practice asking questions and staying curious in everyday conversations. You will be surprised by what you learn.
