Coaching is task oriented Coaching is short term Coaching is performance driven SO HOW DO I COACH?
3 Steps to Coaching: 1. Engage the Youth Where They Are 2. Communicate Expectations and Needs Clearly 3. What not to do
1. Engage Youth Where They Are Self-Contained Indirect Analytical Driver Direct Amiable Expressive Open
Analytical Driver Indirect and self-contained Focus on logic Need all facts before they will make a decision [aka Planner] Direct and self-contained Task and results oriented Takes charge and makes quick decisions [aka Director] Amiable Expressive Open and indirect Cares deeply about other people and their feelings Needs to feel trust and support to make a decision [aka Agreeable Friend] Open and direct Important to share ideas and enthusiasm Wants group excitement to encourage their decision [aka Socializer]
2. Communicate Expectations and Needs Clearly Try these phrases: What do you need from me? Have you thought about?
What do you do as a coach? Situation 1: Nolan is your Lodge Chief. He is an experienced leader and has built a strong team of youth leaders around him. Currently he is running the LEC meeting but it goes on and on as one of the advisers keeps adding his two cents about every item on the agenda. You can tell Nolan is getting irritated.
What do you do as a coach? Situation 2: Zander just became a brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow. He is excited about hanging out with his new friends more, so decided to run for Chapter Chief. He does not really know much about what that means or what he is supposed to do.
3. What NOT To Do Direct the youth what to do rather than letting them fail Make commitments you cannot keep Take responsibility for their problem Criticize your youth because they are not doing it how you did it back in your day
