​Coaching Against School Failure: An Effective Tool

To you, who are reading, do you think that the lack of effort in students at risk of school failure is the cause… or the consequence of their own school failure? Let’s leave this question in the air for now.

The work of a coach not only works with great managers, but also with people who are in situations where that connection with their “center”, with their internal energy, is important to move forward and overcome the situation they are in. And it is that:

When a student is not giving everything they are capable of delivering, it may be for several reasons, among which the tendency to blame something external and thinking that they cannot get where they are asked, giving up and throwing in the towel stand out.

Coaching against school failure

A Coaching process can help a student get out of a situation at risk of school failure very quickly The coach helps him see that he can act in different ways despite having the same circumstances. He will realize that it is in his power to choose a victim attitude or a protagonist attitude. Despite external conditions, they can never deprive him of being the protagonist of his life.

The search for the student’s affinities and interests, which many parents intelligently encourage, not only serves to know how they can spend their leisure time. It serves as an indicator of what you are looking for in your life, and what you excel at. Discovering through Coaching that you can search for it yourself, in addition to the process of finding it, connects you with his motivation.

Each student, including those at risk of school failure, unknowingly hides a potential that makes them unique. Nature has given it to him, so that he can contribute the best of himself, of what others do not do so well, of his quality. The coach’s job is to help the student search for that quality which is nothing other than your own potential, and from then on you will learn to perceive and manage it for yourself.

The potential of each student

Helping each student and also each person find it within themselves is one of the pending matters, not only from school, but from society. This potential will benefit your work, any system you are or will be a part of in the future, and most importantly, your happiness.

Let’s continue with a reflection: If we really believe that some of the subjects he is studying are not going to be useful in the future, how can we expect the student himself to believe it? Many of us believe that the educational system will change sooner or later, to include subjects such as Emotional Intelligence and at the same time stop including theoretical knowledge that does not contribute as much as was thought to the student’s future. But this change in model is no longer the student’s responsibility.

What is your responsibility?

The student realizes that the educational system is not perfect. He discovers that, to achieve his dream, he must pass within this imperfect system, and therefore he chooses to do so. He makes the decision. And the educational system preys on those students who give up

The Coach helps you discover your own personal method of taking responsibility for the situation and doing everything you can do, which turns out to be a lot. The moment he takes responsibility, things occur to him that did not occur to him before, because the first step to follow the path of his dream and realize it is to take responsibility. The student is aware that the only thing that is in his control is his attitude, and that this change in attitude is sufficient and at the same time necessary to change the situation. This gives you a more realistic view and at the same time empowers you to commit yourself to getting out of that situation.

It is not about changing your vision of studying and transforming it into a more pleasant activity in order to pass, but rather about helping you realize the goal you pursue when studying, and thus helping you find, from that perspective, your personal way of managing how to do things. those tasks, without feeling it as an obligation, but by own decision.

If we treat them like adults, they will thank us and show us mature behavior, showing that they are capable of assuming their responsibility. The responsibility of your life
