Coaching

My beliefs on how to effectively coach others.

• One should never give more feedback than positives.

• Always acknowledge strengths first.

• Never give more than 1-2 things to work on at a time. Use smart goals.

• Provide the support, the follow through, and cheerleading necessary.

• Provide multiple tools for change and let the team or teacher decide which they prefer.

• Always follow up conversations with an email on what was discussed, things team or teacher are going to work on, support needed, and the date for completion or next meeting.

• Establish working norms. Such as: assuming best intentions, a willingness to try new things, honest and open communication, and to not take things personal by any party.
