Questions to start conversations with coaches
A working deck. Pull one before your next 1:1. The right question can do more than an hour of advice.
§Show up present and regulated. The state of mind is the first question.
§How do you show up the way you want to show up?
§What is the one thing this student most needs from you right now?
§What do you think is underneath the student's behavior?
§What conversation or feedback are you avoiding?
§What do you need in order to show up present for this student?
“Present and regulated.”
Your 1:1 is in ten minutes. The coach you're meeting with has been competent but flat all month. You can pull one question from the deck. Which one?
Which question would land hardest in your next 1:1, and what does that tell you?

Pull a question. Don't write a script.
- 1Open three 1:1s this week with a question from the deck instead of a status check.
- 2Notice which question your coaches dodge. That's the one to revisit.
A 1:1 that would have lasted 20 minutes goes 45 because the right question cracked it open.
