PREWORK

To prepare for the workshop, please take the following two steps.

Step 1: Think about who has most helped you grow as a leader (on whatever frontline that you choose)? What did they do that was particularly helpful?

Step 2: Listen to the Leadership.Local Conversation with Peter Mayrick (it's only 15 minutes). You can also access it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. Peter is an expert in coaching and leads an organisation called 'Partners in Ministry'.

Here are five key takeaways from the conversation:

1. Coaching helps leaders go from 'Point A' to 'Point B'.
   
2. Always coach the person and then the task.
   
3. Every coaching conversation should be mindful of both truth and grace.
   
4. There’s usually a reason why someone may not have done something well and only one of those reasons is because ‘they can’t be bothered’ (and that's generally not the case).
   
5. There’s a stance (compassionate discipleship) and a skill (listening and understanding) to bring to every coaching conversation.
   

MATERIALS FROM THE WORKSHOP

1. Checkin homework from the last session (Forming Habits Module)
2. An introduction to the purpose of coaching
3. An overview of different models of coaching
4. A pattern (with example questions) to integrate coaching into your everyday leadership rhythms

NEXT STEPS FOR THIS MODULE

During this workshop, we considered some approaches to coaching and how we can integrated coaching methodology into our everyday leadership rhythms and conversations. For homework (before the next workshop and module):

• Test: some of the coaching methodology (especially questions) that you have learnt.
• As Teams: explore if any of this methodology could shape some of your regular rhythms of how you work together.

Please use the worksheet under the workshop tab to help guide your homework.
