The Supporter – A Helping Hand After the Training

This article describes the role of a supporter when using coach Freddie.

In trainings where the digital coach Freddie is used, each training participant gets to choose two supporters. A supporter can be a manager, a colleague, a friend or someone else that the participant has regular, close contact with. During three weeks after the training, the supporter’s job is to help the participant reach the goals that he or she set in the classroom and to lower the risk of daily duties getting in the way of those goals.

I’ve been asked to be a supporter – what does that mean?

That the person who asked you already views you as supportive, and particularly wants your support during three weeks after a newly-finished training. During the three weeks, you will receive tips on great ways to provide support from the digital coach Freddie.

What is expected of me if I say yes?

A coaching question per week goes a long way. With that said, it’s usually much appreciated if you get in touch and ask, “How can I support you in the best possible way during these three weeks?”.

I would love to offer support, but I don’t know how. Is there any help?

Each week, Freddie, the Coach, will give you suggestions via email on good questions to ask the person you’re supporting. If you're looking to support, even more, you will each week be able to download a new conversation template, which outlines a coaching conversation to have with the person you're supporting. Freddie is continuously improving and offers more and more help to you as a supporter.
