Learning Through
Coaching
It’s great
to learn new skills in the classroom, but it can be difficult
and frustrating when you try to translate those skills to your
day-to-day environment. To overcome this, the “Mighty Mouth”
program includes personalized follow-up coaching. Your coach
will be no stranger to you; she will be one of the “Mighty
Mouth” faculty.
After the
workshop, you will select (up to) two speaking engagements or
presentation opportunities, and enlist the help of your “Mighty
Mouth” coach. Prior to your speaking event, you will strategize
and plan for your talk with your coach, who will support your
preparations including:
·
Clarifying your
personal goals, and your goals for this presentation,
·
Addressing your
audience’s specific concerns,
·
Planning for
difficult questions, and
·
Reviewing
audio-visuals.
Your coach
will attend and observe your presentation, with an eye to
constructively evaluating your performance. Afterwards, you and
your coach will meet privately to debrief and share feedback.
This may occur immediately after the event or at a time better
suited to your schedule. Your coach will review what worked,
what didn’t work, and offer suggestions for improvement - to try
out at your next speaking opportunity. You will receive
objective feedback on how well you met your goals for the
event.
To further
support your learning and practice, your coach will be available
to provide the same kind of support for a second speaking
engagement –all the way from strategizing, preparation, and
observation through feedback and planning for improvement.
Nothing is
left to chance! Mighty Mouth offers excellent classroom
instruction following by real world application, learning, and
practice.
