Core Concepts
Prioritizing professional development is hard.
The 3-Conversation model makes development easy for the leader and meaningful for the person.
The three conversations in summary:
- Define ‘what,’ ‘why’ and give homework;
- The person reflects on the homework and how they plan to improve;
- Periodic check-ins about the homework. ‘What are you learning?’
The leader’s role in these conversations:
- Clarify the ‘what’ and ‘why’
- Listen and encourage
- Ask, ‘What are you learning?’
