Things You Should Know About Coaching For Millennials

By Dennis Reed


People always like being around people that understand them and what they are going through. Therefore if you are a coach or mentor, it is wise to take time and understand what the person you want to coach is going through. This will help you to connect with the person and be in a better position to help him/her. There are so many things that a coach should learn especially where people are involved. These will help him/her become a successful coach. Below are several things you should know about Coaching for Millennials.

One of the critical things to know is that people feel safe and relaxed around people that understand them better. Therefore, as a mentor, you should be authentic at all time. Also, you should learn to be empathetic. This will help you to relate better with the people you are coaching. Always ensure that you are honest and true to yourself.

Secondly, you should know that these people are probably smarter than you are. Therefore, you should be honest from day one. If you open up and become honest, they will understand you. Days have changed, and you can no longer tell a young person what to do. This is because they are smarter and know that they can get what they want through other ways. It is therefore important to be up-front and honest from the beginning.

Do not be quick to give praises where they are not needed. Most people think that praising the young and upcoming players will make them better. However, this is not encouraged because you may make them think that they are good enough. Therefore, encourage them to work hard so that they can earn genuine praises.

You should also understand that this is a generation that is addicted to getting anything they want at any time. This may not work out at all times. Therefore, as a coach, you should emphasize patience. Let the young people know that it is not always possible to get what they want right away. Therefore, they should learn to be more patient as it pays.

Moreover, this generation is addicted to technology, and it finds it more comfortable. Nevertheless, it is not practical to develop people skills on the web. To have better person-to-person skills, these people need to relate with people one on one. More so, they need to learn how to communicate directly with people so that they can have better people skills.

Additionally, as a coach, you should help this young generation to diversify their goals. These people tend to be highly focused on what they want. This is okay, but you should help them have more than one plan or skills. Train them to have more than one goal in life so that they can have more open doors.

Mentors should ensure that they create a stable relationship with his/her mentees. When you connect with these people at a personal level, training them will be easy. Also, ensure that you treat them like other people. This is because they also have family goals as well as leading a successful life.
