About the role
Gosford RSL Club is partnering with Max Potential to empower young adults in the community, and provide up-skilling opportunities for community and corporate members.
Empower a young adult to lead their own lives well through coaching them. Max Potential is a carefully designed program aimed at helping young people [aged 16-22] develop their self-awareness, increase their self-motivation and self-discipline, as well as live by universal principles that will help them manage their fears, stress, strengths and soft spots.
Each young adult sets goals for all areas of their lives, which a coach then helps them move towards by having coaching conversations and keeping the young adult accountable. As part of their growth experience, the young adults create and implement their own community service project during the program.
Participants meet as a group 4 times through the 6 months for interactive, engaging, fun and impacting workshops. Between workshops, a Coach meets with their Young Adult individually 8 times over the 6-month period.
There is a high demand for this program from schools and young adults across the region. We are now looking for community members to meet that demand through participating as Coaches.
Coaches benefit from the program as well, for example:
- they develop transferrable skills in empowering others
- develop their own personal leadership
- increasing personal productivity and reach own goals
- find inspiration from the young adults
- satisfaction and motivation that comes from engaging in making a real tangible difference
- increased networking opportunities.
We invest in Coaches as a professional development program, where they receive 2 days of training, and one-to-one Coaching from a coaching professional through the 6 months as well.
