A Handful of Tips 17 – Coaching

Five of the best coaching tips

Good coaches establish trust and a rapport with the people being instructed. They should encourage with praise, build confidence with graduated experiences and give honest and constructive feedback.

1. Establish a rapport

          Spend time establishing a rapport with the people you are coaching. Make sure they fully understand what is expected of them and explain the possible rewards for achievements.

2. Arrange for systematic coaching

          Challenge them with graduated step by step experiences to build their confidence.

3. Feedback is the key to improvement

          Give regular feedback and helpful constructive reports on progress.

          Explain methods and changes fully.

4. Reward effort and achievements

          Praise good work and encourage people to improve.

          Returns from learning should be more earnings.

5. New skills must be practised

          People become frustrated if the new skills they have learned are not put into practice soon after coaching.
