Hey there,

Two-hour coaching sessions? Ah, no thank you!

Nobody ever became a better leader by adding another boring meeting to the calendar. What can be the alternative?

Micro-coaching—short, sharp conversations that actually stick.

No slides, no “let’s-schedule-something-for-next-quarter” nonsense.

Just quick questions slipped into everyday moments—post-meeting, mid-stand-up, even in the coffee line. Tiny nudges, big breakthroughs.

Because growth doesn’t need a three-hour workshop. It needs 30 seconds of curiosity.

✨ Roshini M J shows how tiny chats can spark big growth—here’s her take on micro-coaching:

Coaching on the Fly: Growth in Everyday Chats

When Raj, a new team lead, presented his project update, he stumbled through his slides and left the meeting visibly discouraged.

Afterward, his manager caught up with him —not to critique, but to ask: “What do you think went well in that presentation?” Raj hesitated, then pointed out that he had explained the timeline clearly. His manager followed with: “And what’s one thing you’d adjust next time?” Within minutes, Raj had identified a practical improvement and left the conversation more confident than when he entered.

That five-minute exchange wasn’t feedback as usual—it was micro-coaching.

Why It Matters for HR and Leaders

Efficient: Works in five to ten minutes.
Empowering: Strengthens problem-solving and self-awareness.
Cultural impact: Embeds development into daily routines.

⏱ The 10-Minute CEC Framework

Cue: Ask “What’s working well right now?” and take cue to the topic you would like to dive into.
Explore: “What would you do differently next time?”
Commit: “What’s one small step you’ll try?”

🧑‍🎓Everyday Opportunities

Post-presentation: “What did you feel strongest about?”
During a stand-up: “What’s one blocker you’re tackling today?”
When approached for direction: “What options have you considered?”

🌊 The Ripple Effect

As Raj discovered, a single thoughtful question can reframe failure as learning. For HR leaders, promoting micro-coaching equips managers with a tool that builds confidence, accelerates development, and cultivates a growth mindset—one short conversation at a time.

💡Small questions. Stronger leaders. Better results.
