There are many things that makes someone a good job coach. Here are 4 strong qualities that makes someone a successful job coach.
1. Adaptable: One needs to know how to adapt to change and recognize when something is not working and is able to form a task to the abilities of the person that they are working with.
2. Patience: Every person learns a different way and at a different rate, knowing the way that someone learns is the most important and successful information that a person can know.
3. Attention to detail: Pay attention to the small things, something very small can lead to not completing a task in the appropriate manner, not only paying attention to the detail of how they complete something but pay attention to how the person you are supporting is, something small can lead to issues with their whole day, things such as demeaner, body language and the way they talk or don’t talk during your time with them.
4. The most important is the WHY. : “Why are you there?”, “Why is that person there?”, it all comes down to the drive to help others, if someone is not happy or does not want to be where they are that shows in the way that they carry themselves, and the way they see things and the way they talk to people. It is human nature to feed off your environment and those around you, if you are a lump on a log the person you are supporting will see that and feel that and will adapt to that. Always remember your why don’t lose sight of why you are doing what you are doing and why you are where you are.
