empathise and encourage.

This hands-on exercise provides a fun, nonthreatening
environment in which to develop
coaching skills. Good coaching is not easy - the
coach needs an ability to listen, to demonstrate
active listening, to show empathy, to be able
to see things from another’s point of view as
well as not being judgmental, all-knowing or
the ‘expert’. To many people, coaching does not
come naturally, but it’s easier once you know
how!
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

to stress the role of the coach as guide
and mentor

the need for empathy

telling or being judgemental
