TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Árpád Bárnai
“Coaching for success” was a 10-day training on coaching and practical communication skills for social-, youth workers and educators who work with people on a daily base, especially with youngsters and disadvantaged groups. During this program we delivered a very practical program – basically a long coaching session to our participants. Through these days they could develop and practice their own coaching style and get immersed in this methodology by practicing with others.

coaching youngsters - real clients
Our objective was to give a useful tool for youth and social workers and educators working with disadvantaged groups. With the help of this knowledge and practice they can empower their clients, so those can reach their goals and live a more successful life.
Also we wanted to provide a unique opportunity to see the method working in a “real life situation”, by arranging and realizing their own complete and successful coaching session, by having a client, who were young adults with a disadvantaged background and support them in creating their vision for the future.
I was co-trainer and graphic facilitator.
