"The greatest threat to a good youth worker is satisfaction"
Coaching
Working with young people is a great but demanding challenge. It is therefore no surprise that a teacher, youth worker or youth elder might have the occasional need for further training.
Such training can be provided both in groups through training sessions and peer reviews and individually by means of individual coaching.
In this form of support, the emphasis is on shaping through exercising, sharing and adjusting personal capabilities, shortcomings and experiences. The idea is not to fill each other's heads with theoretical ideas, but to focus on the individual in relation to his or her duties and the young person served.
