This week we launched in beta a game changing feature at @Sidekick_HQ which unlocks new ways for people to connect with their coach in a meaningful way. Had a ah-ah moment when trying it out - best feeling ever 😊

[Adrien Guilmineau @aguilmineau]

So proud of our customer @procoretech nominated best coaching culture in the world 🥇

Great post by @sachinrekhi:
1/ Great leaders focus on the process, not the prize.
2/ Great leaders set an ambitious behavioral & skill standard for each role - then teach, mentor and coach to help each person reach them.
Ties so closely with our philosophy at @sidekick_hq 🔥

$80k -> $4k
$100k -> $5k
$120k -> $6k
$150k -> $7.5k
$200k -> $10k

It’s so hard, but it works. Getting a coach to role play and prepare with is the best hack.

[Adrien Guilmineau @aguilmineau]

Great idea - tough in practice due to the power dynamics at play.

If you get a coach you have the power. (You can fire them)
If your manager is your coach, he has the power. (He can fire you)
This changes your incentives and therefore the value you get out of it.

Best 1:1 technique for new managers taught by @Sidekick_HQ coaches:

1. Pick 1 highlight (good or bad) of the person’s last 2 weeks
2. Ask 10 questions about it using “what” and “how”. No “why”.
3. Listen 👂

[Adrien Guilmineau @aguilmineau]

Execs + managers + ICs. Only thing preventing everyone from being more self-aware, clearer and more respectful at communicating is how unscalable it is. Let us help you: https://t.co/yXLpsN9Xyt tech + tech-enabled coaches can make this better!
