a Derailing Employee:

Set an informal, casual tone
Maintain a professional demeanor

Let them know you have always viewed them as a high potential and why
Share your concern that you have sensed a change recently
Keep questions open-ended
Listen attentively
Validate where the employee is in that moment
Inquire if the work they are doing is interesting and challenging
Determine if any roadblocks are preventing the employee from re-engaging
