An ideal ReadyforWork Coach has the following traits
Subject-matter expertise
You have unquestionable knowledge and practical experience in your expertise. You don't have to have a fancy degree or qualification, but you must know your art through and through.
Readily available to assist
The best coaches are the ones who are willing and able to help the student, but they are also available when the student needs them, so you need to put time aside if you want to join this mission.
Open-minded leadership
The first step to being a great teacher is to be an excellent student who can accommodate feedback and new experiences, not unyielding and uncompromising when the necessity for such qualities arise.
Result orientation
A ReadyforWork coach must care deeply about leaving the student better than before. You have to know how to guide learners in developing and improving useful skills compassionately and meeting their coaching needs.
