TIPS 4 THE COACH (Part 7)

Establishing Credibility
  1. Admit failure. Model a key component of lifelong learning by being honest with your own performances and using them as an opportunity for learning. I saw a teacher of mine make a huge mistake in class, and rather than lose his cool, he used the experience as at teachable moment on recovering from errors, and spontaneity. (Kurt Squire)
  2. When you do not know the answer to a question, admit it. Offer to find the answer and provide it at the next coaching session (or sooner). (Doreen Brady)
