What makes a great coach? EMPATHY easily beats out other characteristics

You can view a recording of the live webinar on our website

When our friend and colleague, super-star Coach Emma Doyle has
asked over 500 of the world’s leading tennis, sport and business
coaches: What Makes a Great Coach? empathy sits firmly in the
top five in terms of responses.


 


For example, empathy was mentioned by former WTA World No.4
tennis player Helena Suková; founder of Women’s Tennis
Coaching Association (WTCA) and tennis tour coach Sarah
Stone; and Australian Rules Football coach David
Wheadon. Natalie and Emma also listed empathy in their top
three practices.


 


Empathy easily beats out characteristics that you might expect
people to nominate, such as challenging, charismatic,
confidence, dependable, dynamic, persistent, and progressive, to
name just a handful. 


  


What Makes a Great Coach? gives us the opportunity to reflect on
our own coaching practices.  So join us for this Coaching
Café this week where we share the research and stories around
empathy from the book.  And most importantly key
questions that we can all use to reflect on how we bring empathy
to our coaching and our work.
