Providing constructive feedback is very important for students. I will always ask permission; state my intent; use "I" statements, use "softeners"; use positive affirmations and be careful in my choice of words.  

I learned that there are six core conditions for Coaching Success: Phsychological contact; student incongruence in the relationship, coach congruence in the relationship, unconditional positive regars, coach has accurate empathy and student perception.

It is very important to establish a strong rapport with students by actively listening and empathizing.  

I am a both a leader/manager.
