What is a Coaching Pre-Read?

The Coaching Pre-Read is a set of AI generated coaching notes for managers within Ambition. In order to help a manager prep for a check-in, the pre-read provides an analysis of the rep’s historic metric performance - calling out trends, opportunities and suggested actions. It also analyzes tone and sentiment from the rep’s historic coaching check-ins, including information from agenda items responses, comments, and public notes to create more productive and effective 1:1s.

 

Who can view a Coaching Pre-Read?

Anyone who has access to the check-in besides the employee can view a coaching pre-read. The manager, co-coach, and those with "coaching: all access" permission will be able to generate/regenerate a pre-read. Those with executive visibility will be able to see a pre-read if one has been generated, but cannot generate a new one. Employees cannot generate a pre-read or view a pre-read that is generated for their own check-ins.

 

Generate a Coaching Pre-Read

Generating pre-reads is dependent on the "Coaching: Check-In Pre-Read" feature being enabled.

1. Open the left navigation and click Coaching > Check-Ins.

Those with access to the check-ins tab on the manage coaching page can access check-ins there also.

  • Insights from previous coaching sessions

    • Insights will be pulled from previous coaching sessions within the same coaching program.

      • If a program is not being used, insights will be pulled from previous coaching sessions based on the same template.

      • If the coaching moment is not related to a program or template, you may see a "no coaching history available" message.

  • Suggested questions and approaches for your next check-in
