What will I learn? 

Attendees will hear from the coaching team at Sport Wellington about what character development through coaching can look like, as well as real examples and ideas from local coaches of how they intentionally coach character. 

In this webinar replay, you will learn about the importance, impact, and practicalities of:  

  • The coach’s identity 
  • How to get clear on the character strength behaviours that connect to your WHY as a coach 
  • The team’s identity 
  • How to get clear on the character strength behaviours that connect your team’s shared purpose

Coaching character isn’t an add on to your coaching practice; it is how you coach. After all, coaching is all about the person(s) in front of you and helping them to be the best that they can be.
