A big part of my work as a coach involves working with high-potential leaders in workshops, keynotes and webinars. One of my favorite questions to ask these audiences is, “How many of you think of yourselves or have been referred to by others as the ‘go-to person?’ ” Usually, about every hand in the room goes up. I asked that.

For the past couple of years in Next Level leadership workshops, I’ve asked the participants to do a lot of peer coaching exercises with each other. The coaching is always focused on real life issues the participants are dealing with and the conversations are intentionally brief.

I remember one Fidelity Investments program manager back in 2006 or 2007 who had multiple opportunities to watch me deliver one of my early workshops on leading at the next level. Sometimes they give me really direct feedback and coaching on how I could personally improve to more directly connect with their leaders.

Sometimes my sessions would go great and I’d walk out of there feeling on top of the world.

As I often do at the beginning of a day-long small group workshop, I asked everyone to re-introduce themselves to each other by sharing where they grew up, how many siblings they have and talk about the biggest challenge of their childhood. After three rounds of those brief conversations, the sense of connection in the room was palpable.
