How To Coach People 101

A Thread

Over the past 15 years

I have coached or trained a few hundred people

Here is what I learned

People absorb information in 3 different ways

Visually

They need to see you perform something a few times

Before they learn how to do it

Listening

All they need is for you to tell them what are the steps

And they will be able to perform it themselves

The doers

I am one of these people

They need to actually perform the steps themselves with your guidance

After a few tries, they will be able to do it on their own

When coaching someone ask them what method works for them

If they don't know

Try them all until you find the one that works

Learning this helped me be a lot more efficient with my time
