If I'm in a bad headspace and avoiding doing what feels like a boring or difficult task, what's it going to take for me to open up to you as my boss, considering I'm feeling low in confidence, a bit lost, I'm already judging myself negatively? I have no idea how I'm going to get the work done. And can I trust you to not write me off as incompetent?

How are you going to help me, your direct report? Can I trust you? Can you help me shift to a positive headspace?

I want to introduce you to the Who Energy Model that I teach in Leaders Who Coach™. This simple model is going to help you as a coach-leader build trust in every conversation you have. In a nutshell, this technique puts the person in front of you, the person you're talking with — which really could be anyone in your life — at the very centre of that. Why is that important?
