COACHING AS A TOOL FOR IMPROVING LEADERSHIP SKILLS” project’s toolkit

 


In our project, we focused on coaching techniques to improve youth leadership. By coaching, we referred to personal development strategies offered to individuals to enhance their performance. It aimed to empower people to learn rather than instructing them. This approach distinguished coaching from leading for participants.

Directing and leading people are understood by their definitions, but integrating coaching methods gives leadership a new meaning through a supportive approach. Educational leadership specialists needed to develop skills in listening, giving feedback, and agreeing on task implementation (Raukaitė Rita, 2021). Studies indicated a strong need to develop coaching skills in youth workers to empower youth leadership at both rural and urban levels. Starting with university students, then youth workers, specialists, leaders, and volunteers, a leadership training course based on coaching strategies would enhance essential skills in society.

The project aimed to develop youth workers' competence in applying coaching techniques for youth leadership.

The training course objectives were:

  • To develop transformational leadership skills through coaching
  • To deepen youth workers’ knowledge of coaching techniques for youth leadership
  • To guide youth workers in using digital tools for efficient group and individual coaching
  • To improve cultural communication and leadership skills through art coaching

Together with participants we have developed and adopted coaching strategies by using already well know coaching methods taken from  "101 Coaching Strategies and Techniques (Essential Coaching Skills and Knowledge) 1st Edition by Gladeana McMahon (Editor), Anne Archer (Series Editor) also coaching game "Points of You"

Step by step participation

Here’s what I’ve learned during the Step by Step training course about youth participation: I learned how different events for the youth can be organized. Like what to keep in mind, how to manage without a (big) budget and how to keep the youth interested. I also learned new games and techniques to either get to know the group better or how to energize it. One of my favorites were fruit salad with chairs. I learned about how to boost youth participation / activate youngsters to participate. That can be done for example by just simple offering the youngsters the kind of activities they want to do themselves. Aka by listening the youngsters. I also learned about youth participation situations and challenges in different European countries. This was interesting and eye-opening. I learned about different kinds of youth centers. Like what they can offer, how much they can be open and who the workers can be (volunteers, youth workers and so on). I think the 8-step ladder about levels of yout...
