What we would like you to practice today is the support you are giving one another in your buddy groups
Who has had a mentor or coach that has helped you to learn something?
What did they do to help
Before we start I think it is important to determine what coaching means for us

How you would define coaching
Now share with the people around you
Happy to share - capture

8. What skills do effective coaches require?

Yet bringing in someone that challenges your way of thinking, behaving can have a dramatic different
