As a coach I would state, “I’m observing a low level of energy in the group. What activity couuld we begin now that might increase our energy level?”

As an action learning coach, managing the energy and engagement of the team is crucial for the effectiveness of the session. Here’s how I would handle the situation where the team’s energy is low despite having recently taken a break:
Start by addressing the observation: “I’ve noticed that the energy in the group seems a bit low since we returned from the break.” then: “Does our team recognize that?” . next: “What should our team do next to increase our energy level?” and let team decide what to do next.

I would ask, “I noticed that the momentum for discussion at this moment is a little bit declined. I am wondering whether you are impatient or out of energy? Do you notice it also?” “Who can help me understand what happened and cause such a feeling?” “What impact it would cause on our team’s performance?” “What we can do to deal with the negative influence?”

I would step in to ask the group to reflect on their energy levels, using the “What, So What, Now What” framework. My questions might include:
● What are you noticing about the energy level in the group?
● What is the impact on the group when the energy is low?
● What would you like to do now?
These questions are designed to help the group become more aware of their collective energy and take steps to re-energize the session.

Hello team, I observed that the team took a 15-minute break, what happened?
How did this impact the team?
What can we do to improve?

As a coach, I would pause the group for a moment and ask questions “I have a judgement that I found the energy in our group is very low. How do you think about it?” and then I’ll invite the group to answer. If they say yes, I would say “How does low energy affect our conversation?” and invite them to answer. Then I’ll ask “What shall we do to boost the energy?”

My intervention will be as below:
Coach: Team, On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 – Poor, 10 – Excellent), how would you rate your energy level?
**Participant response**
Coach: How will the quality of solution be impacted?
**Participant response**
Coach: On your organisation level, if you encountered low energy employees, what actions will you take?
**Participant responses**
Coach: How do we prevent this from happening again?

I’ll ask the team as a coach :
“How the team’s feeling about the energy of the team right now after turn back from the break?”
Team respond
” What’s the next impact to the team, if the team’s energy dropped?”
Team respond
” And then, What’s the team think how to handle this problem?
Team respond

I would shift in to the group and ask the group to reflect on their energy levels, using SID. My possible questions:
● What are you noticing about the energy level in the group?
● What is the impact on the group when the energy is low?
● What would you like to do now?

I will apply the SID (Situation, Impact, Do) concept:
Situation : “Team, I observe the team dynamics and energy levels are low now! What is happening?”
**Team Respond **
The intent of this check-in exercise to encourage them to share how they are feeling after the break. This can help team members to vocalize their feelings and any concerns they may have, thereby increasing awareness and opening up communication channels.
Impact – State : “ Good that some of you recognise this low energy level, what will be the impact?” Or “ How this low energy will impact our discussion?”
** Team Respond **
The intent is to understand their perspectives, concerns, or any personal issues that may be affecting their energy levels. Providing a safe space for open dialogue can help address individual needs and enhance team
Do – Ask : “ What would like team like to do to improve this low energy level”?” Or “ How to improve the energy level?”
** Team Respond **
The intent is to guide the team in overcoming the low energy levels, fostering collaboration, and promoting a positive and energized team environment conducive to effective action learning and problem-solving.

As an action learning coach, I would take steps to re-energize the group and get them re-engaged. I would handle it step by step as below:
– First, I would start by addressing the observation in a non-judgmental way. “I’ve noticed that the energy in the group seems a bit low since we returned from the break.”
– Then I would encourage the team to reflect on the situation. For example,”How is the current energy level affecting our progress on the problem?”I think this will help them to raise awareness within the group about the impact of low energy on the effectiveness of the session.
– And I would involve the team in finding a solution by asking a question like, “What can we do as a group to bring more energy and focus into this session?” This invites participants to take ownership of the situation and suggests strategies they feel might help.I might offer a suggestion If the team is struggling to come up with ideas such as doing a quick energizer. For example, “Would a two-minute stretch or movement break help us refocus?”

At first I would check in with myself, is it really the group, or could it also be my own energy? Did I use the break to properly re-energize?
If it indeed is with the group, I would address this with a bit of a triggering question: “I am observing the energy in the room is low, does anyone else observe that as well?”. If the session is virtual, I could also do a poll type questions: “how would you rate the energy in the groups between 1-10?”. When the response comes, I would want to make sure multiple people respond. I would continuous with “What could be the effect of this?” “How do we want to deal with this going forward?”.
