Planning ReWi coaching
Planning ReWi coachings
The group process designed during ReWi coaching is a journey, that best succeeds when it is planned out beforehand. The ReWi planning template is a good place to start. Make a concrete schedule of your programme and tasks before, during and after. We encourage pairing up with someone to do the training. This person may be a colleague, a trainee or a young person who wants to develop as a coach and is interested in the theme. Understanding the principles of dialogue, the ability to create trust, and guiding the action forward in cooperation are key skills.

After initial planning, the work is continued together with a group. Communal planning means a culture of action right from start, in which information and know-how is shared, dialogue is kept active and actionable experiments are knowingly lead. Because of this, it is important to model the goals and goalposts of a group from the start, and to discuss and decide on the group’s principles together.
Talk about what kind of group would be good to work in. You can start in small groups, or if there are fewer participants, write down words and phrases and read them aloud to inspire discussion.
In the first meeting, the goal is to get to know one another. The coach will go over the training schedule to make participants feel safe in knowing what is to come. The coach should ask everyone about what they are expecting. This helps both the participants and the coach to orientate themselves for the upcoming training. The group will have participants in it who do not know each other yet. The purpose of the group is to guide participants towards the wonders of personal growth and to highlight the principles of communal learning.
Rule of thumb for planning:
Start your planning by listing the needs and goals of the target group. Next, compile the contents and usable resources of the training.
tip:
ReWi workshops have made use of Sitra’s megatrend cards. Participants formed a dialogue ring, where everyone picked up two random megatrend cards from a pile and presented the one they found the most interesting.
Sitra’s megatrend cards can be found at: www.sitra.fi/megatrendit
