Getting a 36% uplift in performance from quality performance conversations
Performance conversations aren’t just a HR requirement – they are an opportunity to drive real engagement.
Research shows that when managers focus on strengths during performance conversations, it can lead to a 36.5% uplift in performance. That’s not all – engagement increases, productivity rises, and absenteeism drops.
When we first came across this data years ago, we said, “Tell us more!” It was the beginning of our commitment to a strengths-based approach to coaching and one that has grown in relevance as we look at the low engagement scores across our workplaces.
Today, workplaces are under pressure. People feel tired, under-valued, and stretched. But this is exactly where coaching makes the difference. Especially when it comes to the annual performance review.
Therefore, join Natalie and Paula for our Coaching Café this week as we share:
- The power of strengths-based conversations
- How coaching shifts the tone of performance reviews
- Practical tools to help your team leave energised – not deflated
And we turn performance reviews into a genuine engagement strategy.

Coaching for tricky performance conversations
We continue our focus on annual performance review season in this week’s Coaching Café and how these conversations can build engagement in the workplace. So far, we’ve shared frameworks and tips to set up conversations for success. Now it’s time to talk about the trickier conversations.
A frustrated manager recently asked us:
“What do you do about people who think they’re meeting expectations, but they aren’t?
Or worse, they don’t have goals. They’re not engaged. They’re just working to retirement. You still have to write something on the form!”
We hear this all the time and it’s exactly where coaching can help.
This week, join Natalie and Paula as we explore how a coaching approach can shift even the most challenging performance conversations.
You’ll walk away with:
- An understanding of how/why conversations become difficult
- Strategies for reframing these conversations
- A practical tool from Open Door you can use right away
Whether you’re designing performance conversations, coaching managers, or facing your own review – you will benefit from learning how to coach through the difficult conversations.

- Open Door is bound by the guidelines issued by the International Coach Federation (ICF) in regards to the issuance of Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours.
- Open Door uses Zoom to track and report on attendance and you have to attend the entire 30 minute presentation (as evidence on the report) to earn the CCE.
- If you do not attend at least 30 minutes of the presentation, then the CCE cannot be awarded. This is not negotiable.
- The facilitator will log on prior to the presentation for you to check your software, and you are encouraged to log on early to make sure that your attendance will be recorded. It is your responsibility to ensure that you can hear the facilitator and see the slides.
- Open Door will not be held responsible for any reason, if you can’t attend the full session, this includes software drops outs or personal matters including ill health.
- You must attend the live session in order to achieve the CCE – you are not eligible to earn the CCE by listening to recording afterwards.
- Open Door reserves the right to change the topic, time, date or presenter as needed. We obviously try to avoid this, but sometimes it cannot be helped. Thanks for your understanding.
