IAB Coaching Webinar - Instructions
IAB’s Coaching/Advising Webinars will focus on external activities and advice that the
speakers have (such as working with IIE groups and young working IEs, & college
students – outside of their company), and will not focus on Mentoring activities within
their own company.
The IAB – Coaching activity wants to mainly focus on providing coaching and advice to
young working Industrial Engineers. It is not intended as a job search program for IE’s
seeking work. It is also not intended to be Mentoring advice – such as that given within a
company, for newer employees or employees pursuing management positions.
Several key groups will be involved in helping set up and run the newly planned,
Quarterly, IAB – Coaching Webinars. The IIE Annual Conference – Coaching Panel in
May – will count as that quarter’s Webinar.
IAB – Coaching sub-Team & Coaching Webinar Facilitator:
 Get a volunteer to be the Facilitator for the next Coaching Webinar
 Follow the Instructions developed during the initial Coaching Webinar (this
document)
 Contact IIE HQ - Webinar Team for available dates
 Schedule the Webinar for that quarter (with IIE HQ – Webinar Team)
 Get two speakers for the next Coaching Webinar (no more than 2 speakers) and
review speakers with the IAB group, for concurrence
 Confirm if each speaker is willing to be contacted later, as a one-on-one Coach (if
not, this will need to be announced during the Webinar)
 Write a brief Intro for the next Coaching Webinar and send to IIE HQ – Webinar
Team (see page 3 of this document for an example)
 Get short bio & picture for each Webinar speaker and send to IIE HQ - Webinar
Team
 Have Webinar speakers take the online Webinar training (if needed) and prepare
their planned responses
 Provide any PowerPoint slides to be shown during the live session (from each
panelist) to the Webinar Moderator
 Request some questions ahead of time from Young Professionals and others (IIE
and IAB can send out a request for questions) and forward to Webinar Moderator
 Following the Webinar, the Facilitator should send a thank-you note to the
panelists and the Webinar Moderator
Combined IAB Group:
 Solicit volunteers to be on a list of possible Coach/Advisor speakers or
Facilitators, for later Webinars (Donna Calvert has the excel file)

IIE HQ - Webinar Moderator:

beginning of the Webinar (from a script provided by the IAB group)
 Introduce each of the panelists (Note: if either panelist is not willing to be a oneon-one Coach later, state this up front – so there will be no misunderstandings)
 Explain how questions can be sent in during the live session, by typing them onto
their log-in screen
 Let each panelist describe their background briefly and show any planned
PowerPoint slides (from an agreed to time limit, set by the IAB Facilitator)
 Then open the session up to questions (may use a few starting questions, received
prior to the start of the live session)
 Manage the Q&A portion of the live session and the overall time for each
response (suggest no more than one follow-on comment from the second panelist
on the first panelist’s response – to allow more questions to be included)
 Thank everyone at the end of the session, explain where information on this
session can be found later online, how to contact the panelists directly, and end
the call-in session on time

“Coaching/Advising the Next Generation of IEs”
[It was co-sponsored by IIE’s Industry Advisory Board (IAB) and IIE’s Young
Professionals Group]
Brief description of the first Webinar was:
“Two senior IIE, Industry speakers (Roman Hlutkowsky & Doug Rabeneck) talked
briefly about their experiences Coaching and Advising Young Professional IEs through outside company organizations (like IIE or University IE Departments). They
took questions from call-ins during the Webinar and from any questions sent in ahead
of time to IIE Headquarters. The theme of the presentation was for working, young
professionals to hear some career advice and be able to ask some career-focused
questions. It was not intended to answer job search questions.”

The IIE HQ – Webinar Team will be the Moderator for the Coaching Webinars and take
any questions during and ahead of time.
The IIE HQ – Webinar Team will work with the IIE Young Professionals group on some
extended marketing (beyond the normal IIE Webinar marketing).
