    When coaching is not working, you should:

    • Give up. Obviously the employee just doesn’t get it.

    • Blame it all on all the work you have and the limited time you have to dedicate to coaching.

    • Do a self-assessment and work with the employee to figure out why and how it may be resolved.

    Correct Answer
    A. Do a self-assessment and work with the employee to figure out why and how it may be resolved.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to do a self-assessment and work with the employee to figure out why and how the coaching is not working. This is because blaming external factors or giving up on the employee is not a productive approach. By conducting a self-assessment, the coach can identify any shortcomings in their coaching methods or communication skills. Working with the employee allows for open dialogue and collaboration to identify the root causes of the issue and find potential solutions.

    The 5 steps of the Coaching Process (in the correct order) are:

    • Establish rapport, set goals, conduct coaching sessions, create a development plan, and monitor and follow-up

    • Establish rapport, set goals, create a development plan, conduct coaching sessions, and monitor and follow-up

    • Set goals, create a development plan, establish rapport, conduct coaching sessions, and monitor and follow-up

    Correct Answer
    A. Establish rapport, set goals, create a development plan, conduct coaching sessions, and monitor and follow-up
    Explanation
    The correct answer is: Establish rapport, set goals, create a development plan, conduct coaching sessions, and monitor and follow-up.

    This order of steps in the coaching process makes logical sense. First, it is important to establish rapport with the coachee to build trust and a positive relationship. Then, setting goals helps to clarify what the coachee wants to achieve. Creating a development plan outlines the specific actions and strategies to reach those goals. Conducting coaching sessions allows for the implementation of the plan and the opportunity for guidance and support. Finally, monitoring and follow-up ensure that progress is being made and adjustments can be made if necessary.

    You just observed one of your employees in an interaction with a patient that was not sure how to get to the Lab Department. Madison, your Lobby Representative, was very friendly and provided the patient with detailed instructions on how to get to the lab and checked to make sure she understood. The patient was very appreciative, thanked Madison and went on her way. What method of coaching would best fit this scenario?

    • Informal Coaching

    • Formal Coaching

    Correct Answer
    A. Informal Coaching
    Explanation
    Madison didn’t do anything wrong, she took care of the patients’ need in a friendly manner. However, she could have walked the patient over, or asked another staff member if she was not able to, instead of just giving her the directions. This can be addressed by means of a conversation with Madison without the patient present.

    • I want to have more money.

    • By January of next year, I will have $1200 in my savings account by automatically having the bank transfer $100 from my checking account twice a month into my savings account. This will provide me with the money I need for the Spring Break vacation I plan to take in March of next year. I will monitor the progress online through my online banking website.

    Correct Answer
    A. By January of next year, I will have $1200 in my savings account by automatically having the bank transfer $100 from my checking account twice a month into my savings account. This will provide me with the money I need for the Spring Break vacation I plan to take in March of next year. I will monitor the progress online through my online banking website.

    It is best to coach an employee:

    • At the end of the day right before they leave.

    • On the spot, when you see the issue, even if the patient is present.

    • When they are displaying a positive attitude and the timing/situation are appropriate.

    Correct Answer
    A. When they are displaying a positive attitude and the timing/situation are appropriate.
    Explanation
    Coaching an employee when they are displaying a positive attitude and the timing/situation are appropriate is the best approach because it allows for a constructive and receptive environment. By waiting for the employee to demonstrate a positive attitude, they are more likely to be open to feedback and willing to make improvements. Additionally, choosing the right timing and situation ensures that the employee is not overwhelmed or distracted by other tasks or responsibilities. This approach promotes effective communication and increases the likelihood of successful coaching and development.
