Unpack a real moment
- Who was the real audience for that message?
- What did you want them to do or understand?
- What did they actually come away with?
Coaching prompts
Coaching prompts for clearer, lower-friction team communication
"Communicate better" is useless as feedback. These prompts coach a report to think about who needs what, through which channel, and with what impact — anchored to real recent situations.

Coach the next attempt
- What channel would have fit that message better?
- How could you make the ask or update impossible to miss?
- What is one change you’ll try the next time this comes up?
Start from a real situation
Communication coaching only works with a concrete example. Use prompts that pull up a specific recent moment — a message, a meeting, a handoff — instead of talking about communication in the abstract.
- Think of a recent update — who was it really for?
- What did people actually take away from it?
- Where did the message land, and where did it get lost?
Coach audience, channel, and impact
Clear communication is a fit between audience, channel, and message. Prompts that separate these three help a report see exactly what to adjust next time.
Build from the examples you have
Communication patterns show up across many small moments. When real situations are captured over time, you can coach from specific examples — and recognize genuine improvement — instead of relying on a vague impression.
Workflow example
Instead of "work on your communication," a manager asks "in last week’s launch update, who was it for and what did they take away?" — then coaches one concrete change for the next one.
Example output
The visible output should be concrete enough to inspect.
- A specific situation to coach from
- Clarity on audience, channel, and impact
- One concrete change to try next time
- Examples that show real improvement over time
