We know that when apprentices are engaged and challenged their supervisors use a communication style which is about asking them how they would approach something rather than telling them why they should do it a certain way. Where do you sit? Below are some questions to help get you thinking about how your communication styles could be more ask/how than the easy way out, tell.
10 questions for better communication and keeping your apprentice engaged:
- What are you working on today?
- How have you been finding the task?
- What other ways have you learnt to do this?
- How confident are you at doing this?
- How easy do you find this task?
- How did you learn how to do that?
- Can you talk me through what you’re doing?
- What’s made you do it that way?
- What challenges have you faced when doing this?
- If you were on your own and there was no one you could ask what would you do?
