A coach “is someone who helps someone else (a trainee) learn something that he or she would have learned less well, more slowly, or not at all if left alone.” One reason you have been selected as a coach is because of your work knowledge and skills. But being able to do a job well does not always make a person a good coach. When someone is very good at something, doing the task may have become so automatic that the person is not able to explain it to others (Johnson and Leach, 2001). Other qualities also make people good coaches. You are likely to have a number of these qualities since you were chosen for this program. In this section of the workshop you will • Assess your coaching strengths • Discuss qualities that improve coaching. 147
