How to Lead an End-of-Year Conversation ...

ELENA AGUILAR
About this episode

The peak-end rule tells us that how a person experiences an ending matters tremendously– that people judge an experience based on how they felt at its peak and its end, rather than the total sum or average of an entire experience. That means that your final conversation of the year is arguably one of the most critical for your coaching relationships. In this episode, Elena demonstrates how to facilitate a conversation that celebrates growth and builds forward momentum.

  • 00:24 Preparing for End-of-Year Conversations
