Coaching Tools
LanguageGram
This tool creates a LanguageGram--a representation of the Life Languages that can be especially useful for those that process information visually. The primary Life Language occupies most of the gram in its appropriate color, followed by the second and third, and then the remaining languages. Dominant languages can be easily seen at a glance.
If you select one of the Multiple tabs, you can generate multiple grams at once from your group directory data, which can be useful for coaching a group or doing a group exercise.
Display all of the LanguageGrams for a team on a slide. Put the leader of the team in the center. Ask the following questions:
- What is the predominant color/language that is evident?
- Any other colors that pop out?
- Consulting the quick reference guide, what strengths would the team possibly have?
- What areas does the team need to be aware of as potential weaknesses?
Now using an animation or a different slide, remove the leader from the center of the diagram.
- What, if anything has changed? Did the leader bring something to the team that is now missing?
- What questions/observations does the team think the leader will ask about a plan or strategy that they present to him? How could they answer those questions ahead of time?
