How to Coach Yourself and Others How To Perform On The Job Coaching | Page 35

Remember that training and development is not restricted to training courses. Projects, delegated
tasks, job-swaps, temporary postings and other responsibilities can all be forms of learning and
development and are worthy of recognition when carried out well, or encouragement when a brave
effort fall short.
Adapt these examples to give encouragement to people when they are striving to improve and
achieve. It can make the difference between them wanting to try again or not.
