Preparation before the conversation

1. Decide what you want to get out of the conversation.
   Think about the outcome that matters most to you right now. Examples include: working with more focus, handling pressure more steadily, communicating more clearly, collaborating with less friction, setting boundaries more confidently, or making decisions faster.

2. Bring your current context.
   Be ready to describe your reality in a few sentences: your role, what you are responsible for, and what is currently demanding your attention.

3. Choose the topics you want to cover.
   Pick the areas that matter most to you, such as leadership, teamwork, feedback, planning, execution, decision-making, boundaries, or energy.

4. Decide what you want to do with the result afterwards.
   Some people keep the outcome private. Some share parts with a manager, colleagues, or a partner. Decide what fits your situation.

During the conversation

1. Take notes.
   Write down the points and phrases that feel important to remember and use later.

2. Ask questions when something is unclear.
   If you want more clarity, ask for a clearer explanation or an example.

3. Say what you recognise.
   If something describes you well, say so and explain briefly how it shows up in your day-to-day life.

4. Say what you do not recognise.
   If something does not feel right, say so and describe what does feel right for you.

5. Turn insights into practical use.
   Ask what your profile means for your communication, your decisions, and your teamwork.

6. If relevant, agree on what can be shared.
   If the conversation is connected to work, agree on what you want to share with others and what you prefer to keep personal.

After the conversation

1. Write a short recap.
   Capture the key points while the session is still fresh.

2. Try one change.
   Choose one practical step to test in your daily life.

3. Review your experience.
   After a short period, check what improved and what still needs attention.

4. Use it in follow-up conversations.
   If you have another coaching or team conversation later, bring your learnings with you.
