People who know a lot are not necessarily good communicators
The optimal professional relationship between the
young driver and the Coach:
Leading communication by asking
questions – not by telling !

We train, so that you can give feedback to yourself
when you are out on the road!

2 Kinds of Feedback:
classic:
I give you feedback:
1. This was good
2. That I could
imagine better
Advanced (3rd column of GDE Matrix):
I support you, so that you can selfevaluate –
by using open questions
(„problem oriented active
learning„)

MERIT
The development from
teaching
to
coaching:
Reach learning goal
Accompany learning process
Fixed Programme
Individual development
knowledge
convictions
Fixed learning contents
Discuss experiences
Only one truth
Several perspetctives
The pupil must listen
and look
The coach must listen and
look
The teacher shows (off)
himself
Coach is interested in the
pupil and curiosity

My Methods as a Coach
Coach:
Client:
I ask right questions
You answer
I am shown something
You show me
I am listening
You are explaining
Together we elaborate
You decide
Attention: Ask open questions !
(Why, When, Who, What…)
instead of closed up quesitons (either – or, yes - no…)
from „telling-culture“ to „coaching-culture“
(EU-Project ADVANCED)
Gregor BARTL www.gutefahrt.at/merit
Institut Gute Fahrt
MERIT
Active learning methods – make the client
feel responsible for the learning progress
Problem oriented learning:
The pupil detects the problems, not the trainer
Gregor BARTL www.gutefahrt.at/merit
Institut Gute Fahrt
Coaching is a learning method,
not a teaching method!
Coaching is a method on how to work,
not on what the content is!
The coachee acquires the facts, not from the coach but
from within himself, stimulated by the coach!
Coaching can take place in moments or in longer terms!
It is easier to learn coaching skills than to break with
teaching skills („Once a teacher always a teacher!?“)
Gregor BARTL www.gutefahrt.at/merit

We together elaborate the arguments for your decision.
But you evaluate and you decide.
Gregor BARTL www.gutefahrt.at/merit

Goals of Coaching:
In sport und business: to be best
(training to win)
For road safety: to fit best
(training, to fit best in traffic – in a social sense )
Coaching focuses on future possibilities, not past mistakes.
Gregor BARTL www.gutefahrt.at/merit
Institut Gute Fahrt
Goals of Coaching:
The coachee acquires the facts, not from the coach but
from within himself, stimulated by the coach!
The more active I am involved in the learning process the
better I identify with the learning facts. The learning facts
in the sense of convictions are more stable!
Hence, Coaching is an optimal learning method. It takes
more time, but guarantees a better identification!
The big Challenge of Coaching:
The art of coaching is to kick the student out of the role
of passive consuming into active producing!
Gregor BARTL www.gutefahrt.at/merit
Institut Gute Fahrt
Methods of Coaching:
Leading by asking questions:
Open „W“ - Questions (Why, What, Who, Where, When…)
Instead of closed up questions (yes – no, either - or…)
Key principals:
1. Not the Coach evaluates but the coachee!
2. Not the message which is delivered, but the message
which is elaborated and received by the coachee that
counts!

Authentic – Relationship
must be real
Coaching only makes
sense if I am convinced
from this type of
relationship
