6 Coaching
About this Module
In the following short video we explain what is the purpose of this Module and what you can expect to learn in it:
This module focuses on coaching student representatives. What does it mean to be ‘student support staff’? As a coach, what role can you take on yourself? And how variable can it be? We hope to give you insights into how to do this at an individual level and at a group level.
It is important to know that the role of coach & facilitator can really vary based on the needs of individuals and/or groups.
To be completely honest, a “short guide into coaching” is very challenging to write. A lot of people follow multi-day or even multi-semester courses to be able to ‘coach’ other people. It could be beneficial to find a local training program specialised in coaching if you really want to improve your coaching skills.
