Getting to know your new team: Personal Maps

When I am requested by a client to start coaching a team, I always start with some one on one conversations with each team member. The first conversation will usually be a bit difficult, and not go into what you would really like to know about this person. These first conversations tend to be about fear for the unknown, and a lot of thirst to have detailes cleared out that usually aren’t clear yet. By the second conversation people usually are more at ease, the situation gets less uncomfortable.
