Your Personal Call Coaching Wingman with Shruti Kapoor: Guest: Shruti Kapoor LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shrutikapoor/ Topic: Call Coaching Done Right Quick Intro: One of my favorite topics - Call Coaching - Everyone knows they should. In fact a lot of people say that do! But in the real world call coaching does not happen nearly enough or as well as it should. The old school, sit next to your rep or coworker and hear what they say is NOT the way your reps should be learning, or how leaders should be teaching. That’s why I’m so pumped to have Shruti Kapoor on the show today! Shruti is an incredibly successful, Y-Combinator Accepted, start up CEO and Founder of Wingman. She has built one of the best call coaching softwares out there for reps and leaders, so she has access to 1000s of calls and data points on what really works and what doesn’t. But on top of THAT she is also a certified life coach, helping others on this crazy journey we call life. I can’t wait for her to take us on by Live Better. Sell Better.

186: Create an Actionable Individual Development Plan: Great managers invest in growing their team members. But who is actually responsible for professional development? Surprise: it’s the individual, not the manager. Organizations take a wide variety of approaches to professional development ranging from none at all to reserving Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for only high potentials or those struggling the most. So where does that leave everyone else? This episode is all about taking control over your individual development plan. I walk through the process of crafting an IDP for yourself and how to work with your team members so they can own their professional growth. The full episode guide includes a detailed process for developing an IDP as well as how to work with your team members to create and manage their IDP. It also includes the template I use with my clients for documenting and tracking goals, measures of success and actions. Get it when you join the Modern Manager by The Modern Manager
