The Coach: Where To Start?

So, you’re The Coach - the motivational powerhouse of the group. You see potential where others see barriers and love to help people take steps forward. This article will break down the bits of support your Kind. suggests you’re great at, with a nudge to check out your toolkit in the Hub for more hands-on tips.

Here’s your playbook:

1. Cheer Them On

Whether they’re taking baby steps or giant leaps, your encouragement keeps them going. A well-timed “You’ve got this!” or “I’m so proud of you” can work wonders. Think of yourself as their personal hype squad.

2. Set Small, Achievable Goals Together

Big goals can feel overwhelming, so help them break things down. Start with something small and achievable - whether it’s getting out of bed, making a phone call, or taking a short walk. Celebrate every milestone like they’ve just won an Olympic gold (and mean it when you say it).

3. Know When to Pause

Sometimes, progress isn’t the priority - rest is. Be the Coach who knows when to take a timeout and remind them it’s okay to just be for a while. Even champions need a day off.
