7. Holding meetings on preventing discrimination and mobbing
Being a good coach requires not only knowledge of a given subject, but also specified
attitudes, skills of running classes preparing them appropriately.
1. Prepare the class syllabus, i.e. what you want to present to your trainees – mobbing and discrimination,
or only one of the phenomena; what you want to talk about, and what aspects to focus on – conveying
knowledge about a particular issue, or one particular element of the issue – think about what goal you
have and what you want to achieve with your classes – a good answer to this question will make the
preparation of the classes and methodology easier;
2. It is important to know how much time you have, how numerous the group is, and who you talk to so
that the prepared classes can be properly adjusted to your attendees, their needs and the time you can
spend with them;
3. It is a good idea to ask the attendees what they expect as it may turn out that their expectations cannot
be fulfilled, a s they go beyond the program, or are unattainable for different reasons. It if happens we
should say it aloud so that the attendees know exactly the content of the training program. It may turn
out that we are capable of fulfilling the attendees’ expectations even though at the beginning we did not
take raising certain issues into account. We should think then if we have enough time for this particular
issue, and if it is significant and worth our focus. Only then can we take a decision. It is very important
for the attendees to know what topics they will be taught, and what will not be included in the program.
4. If we are not familiar with something we should admit that. Being clear in that matter and insuring the
attendees that the information will be checked and conveyed later shows our sincerity and serious
attitude towards the attendees. The same concerns the mistakes we may happen to make. Admitting to
a mistake builds respect and shows our human face. It is worth remembering that only those who do
nothing do not make mistakes;
5. A coach should be trustworthy, credible, and should be confident about the subject he/she deals with.
If one of these factors is not fulfilled, the attendees will notice that immediately;
6. A coach should be open towards different points of view; pay attention to all attendees, not leave
unanswered questions. If a particular issue cannot be discussed at a given moment, a coach should
inform the attendees about it;
