Understanding when to coach is just as important as understanding how to coach. Coaching requires the utilization of emotional intelligence.
How do you motivate an employee to embrace new policies and procedures that are necessary in order for the business to stay relevant in its respective field?
Challenges come in all shapes and sizes, a big must is to engage the students at all times. Some students are hard to engage due to personal issues and some have learning difficulties, and class time is so limited.
Challenges I've found in the classroom for students are staying focused and motivated. Every Student has their own story, their own struggles and sometimes it could be extremely hard for them to get motivated to come to class. We have to keep them excited and wanting to come to class by keeping them engaged.
I find it challenging to keep students engaged due to the ,limited amount of time we have in class. the students want to be working on assignments because they are also very limited to homework time. So I find it easier to ask them to pick a topic from curriculum and have me discus and go over that so they are actually interested in the lecture.
I learned today that it's best to look over your presentation, and practice the delivery. It will help with any kind of anxiety and help answer questions the audience may have.
