Adaptability
Coaching Layer
Coaching an Embedded Practice in real work.
Name what changed and what you'll do differently — within a day, before anyone has to ask.
When something changes, the first move isn't to fully process it. It's to name it. That five minutes is what separates the people who adapt from the people who trail.
Are they catching it in time?
A significant change just landed. Note whether you announced it directly, or they heard about it secondhand.
Is the new or default action running?
Did they name what changed and their next step within a day? Can't tell, ask. Can tell, reinforce it.
Is this a pattern, or one good moment?
The two-sentence update shows up after every change, big or small — not just the obvious ones.
Is it showing up unprompted?
No prompting needed. They recalibrate and report by default, without you checking.
- The Practitioner absorbs the change silently.
- You have to check whether it landed.
- The Practitioner names what changed and what they'll do differently, within a day.
- You know they're already moving.
Consistent evidence the recalibration runs within a day of every significant change — without a reminder.
