Slides: How to Start Being a Coach

Steve Elzinga

Be an informal coach starting with your own family

Instead of directing telling family members what to do, ask what they want to do.

Instead of being the answer man, be the question man.

Instead of always giving your opinion as if it were the truth, ask for their opinion.

Instead of dictating the plan of action, let others figure out the plan.

Instead of managing everything, let another family member manage some things.

Be an informal coach continuing with all your relationships 

Start by really listening to the people in your life – (where they are frustrated, excited, confused, struggling …)

Follow up your listening with questions that get the people in your life to think for themselves.
