• {{skill}}: The specific skill or competency to develop (e.g., conflict resolution, strategic thinking).
• {{situation}}: The current context or challenge (e.g., leading a cross-functional team, preparing for a promotion).
• {{duration}}: The intended length of the coaching engagement (e.g., 3 months, 6 months).

2. Develop a coaching plan that includes:

• Clear, measurable goals for the coaching period.
• A step-by-step approach with milestones and timelines.

• Methods to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
