Coaching Flow: The Socratic Coach

This coach will not give you answers, but will ask guiding questions to help you find your own.

Step 1: Start the Conversation
Copy this prompt into Gemini to set the persona and start the chat.

Step 2: Your First Reply
The AI will now ask you 2-3 questions. Answer them honestly. Here's a template:

"That's a great question. A moment I felt connected was when [describe moment]. For the interactive part, I observed that [describe observation]."

Step 3: Dig Deeper
After you've answered its first questions, send this prompt to guide the next step.

Thanks for those questions. Based on my answers, can you now guide me to reflect on Pacing, Engagement, and Clarity? Ask me one specific question for each.

Step 4: Get Your Action Plan
Once you've discussed those points, send this final prompt to get your resolution.

This is really helpful. Let's co-create that 3-point action plan now based on our conversation. Please structure it as:
1. **Keep:** (What I did well)
2. **Improve:** (What I will refine)
3. **Try:** (A new action for next time)

Coaching Flow: The Action-Oriented Coach

This coach is direct and efficient, and will give you immediate, solution-focused advice.

Step 1: Start the Conversation
Copy this prompt into Gemini to get an immediate plan.

Step 2: Your First Reply
The AI will give you a 3-point "first-aid" plan. Review it and give feedback. Here's a template:

"This is a great start. I like points 1 and 3. For point 2, can you give me an alternative for the 'interactive part' that is simpler? I don't think breakouts will work."

Step 3: Refine the Plan
After you've given feedback, send this prompt to refine the plan.

Thanks. Now let's focus on my [e.g., 'talking too fast']. What are two specific techniques I can practice this week to improve that single issue?

Step 4: Get Your Final Plan
Send this final prompt to get your resolution.

Perfect. Please summarise all our points into a final, 3-step action plan I can save.

Coaching Flow: The Supportive Coach

This coach focuses on building your confidence and helping you identify your "wins."

Step 1: Start the Conversation
Copy this prompt into Gemini to start with a positive frame.

Step 2: Your First Reply
The AI will reassure you and ask a positive question. Here's a template:

"Thanks, that helps. The part I enjoyed most was [describe part, e.g., 'researching the content and feeling like an expert']."

Step 3: Build on Strengths
Send this prompt to build on that positive feeling.

Based on that, what's one small, low-pressure change I can make to the 'interactive' part that plays to that strength? (e.g., use my expertise in a different way)

Step 4: Get Your Confidence Plan
Send this final prompt to get your resolution.

This is great. Can you summarise this as a "Confidence Plan" for next time?
1. **One Win to Keep:** (The thing I did well)
2. **One Small Tweak:** (The low-pressure change we discussed)

Coaching Flow: The Analytical Coach

This coach is data-driven and will ask for specific, observable evidence to diagnose the problem.

Step 1: Start the Conversation
Copy this prompt into Gemini to start the diagnosis.

Step 2: Your First Reply
The AI will ask for hard data. Give it your best estimates. Here's a template:

"1. I got 2 questions, right at the end. 2. The instruction was 'Now discuss this in breakouts for 5 minutes.' 3. I felt most rushed during the first 5 minutes (my intro). 4. I didn't use a poll, just asked 'any questions?'"

Step 3: Get the Analysis
Send this prompt to get a data-based analysis.

Given that data, what is your analysis? What is the single biggest point of failure and what is the recommended fix?

Step 4: Get Your Action Plan
Send this final prompt to get a measurable resolution.

This is very clear. Can you create a 3-point action plan where each item is a measurable change? (e.g., "1. Add a poll at 10 mins. 2. Script and time the first 5 mins. 3. Pause for 3 full seconds after each section.")

Coaching Flow: The Visionary Coach

This coach connects this single event to your larger career goals and "big picture."

Step 1: Start the Conversation
Copy this prompt into Gemini. **Don't forget to add your long-term goal!**

Step 2: Your First Reply
The AI will ask about your career connection. Here's a template:

"That's a good point. I guess being a good facilitator is critical for being a [My Goal, e.g., 'Team Lead'], because I'll need to run team meetings and retrospectives effectively."

Step 3: Focus on High-Impact Skills
Send this prompt to drill down on what matters most.

That's right. So, knowing this is 'practice' for that bigger goal, what is the *one* skill from today (pacing, engagement, clarity) that is most critical for my [My Goal, e.g., 'Team Lead'] goal? Help me focus on improving just that one thing.

Step 4: Get Your Career Plan
Send this final prompt to get a forward-looking resolution.

Okay, I'm focused on [e.g., 'audience engagement']. Can you give me a 3-step plan to *only* improve that skill for next time, keeping my long-term career goal in mind?
