Motivational Coaching provides anyone working with adult education students a philosophy, framework and techniques to support students to:
develop a trusting relationship/partnership with instructors
accurately self-reflect on their skills, strengths and performance
gain insight into their need for growth and desired outcomes
take responsibility for their own learning and learn independently
improve study and time management skills
practice critical and creative thinking skills
co-create actionable short and long term goals and become accountable for goals
develop an expanded sense of personal responsibility
arrive at solutions to challenges that are appropriate for their values and situation
develop resilience and adaptability
experience meaningful success and enhance self-efficacy
This experiential learning course is designed for adult education instructors and staff who work directly with students. Grounded in the International Association of Coaching (IAC) 9 Coaching Masteries and Code of Ethics, the course provides a structured approach to fostering a coaching culture in student interactions.
When adult educators and student support staff employ a coach philosophy, it empowers students to take ownership of their outcomes. Thus, students naturally become more invested in their success. This approach fosters creative problem-solving, deepens their understanding of how life circumstances impact their opportunities, and strengthens their commitment to achieving their goals. As students embrace responsibility and apply what they’ve learned, they experience meaningful success, build confidence, and gain momentum for continued growth. Along the way, they often discover hidden strengths and abilities they may not have realized they possessed. Additionally, they learn to anticipate and plan for both internal and external obstacles, developing resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges in all areas of their lives.
As adult educators encourage learners to take responsibility for their progress, it also relieves those educators of unnecessary stress and worry. They often experience greater satisfaction and renewed energy in their teaching. A coach approach allows educators to focus on what they do best — delivering impactful instruction.
It's a real win-win!
