What is Coaching? Coaching is a goal oriented, generative solutions focused process in which a client (agency) is guided to develop a vision, delineate a range of goals and options to realize this vision, develop and implement action plans to achieve those goals, identifying roadblocks and constructing possible solutions to these throughout the change process (Moore & Tschannen--‐‑Moran, 2010; Whitworth, et al., 2007; Stober & Grant, 2006) Coaching involves two critical components: 1) reflection, an opportunity to think about and clarify visions, values, goals and hurdles; and 2) action, a commitment to take self defined steps to move towards goals

What is Coaching? Coaches collaborate with DAODAS to support the goals and mission of DAODAS The mission of DAODAS is to ensure the availability and quality of a continuum of substance use services, thereby improving the health status, safety, and quality of life of individuals, families, and communities across South Carolina. Prevention Team Mission Statement: Provide support to prevent substance use and misuse Coaches and agencies also work as a team to make smart decisions that support the agencies’ vision, goals, needs and values Coaches are collaborative and co-creative partners with agencies, using evocative approaches more than didactic approaches What does Coaching do? Coaching supports developing and sustaining behavior changes related to uptake and the successful application of new information by addressing several simultaneous problems (Fixsen, et al., 2005; Stober & Grant 2006; Whitworth et al., 2007; Moore &Tschannen--‐‑Moran, 2010).
