Inspirational case study: coaching young people at risk

This week on the Coaching Café we have inspirational story to share with you, around how coaching can work across different environments, cultures and people. A story of where coaching meets hope for the future, through coaching young people at risk.

We often hear ‘I don’t think coaching will work’ in this situation, for those people or in our organisation.

And wherever we hear this, we just think about Melbourne City Mission.

The coaches at Melbourne City Mission are coaching young people at risk. And we truly feel if they can make a difference in this way, then we are pretty sure coaching is going to work in your particular corporate environment. We just have to figure out how.

So join Natalie as she interviews Andrea Hutton, Team Leader from Melbourne City Mission. Andrea brings 37 years of experience working with young people in crisis, facing homeless with deep trauma and complex mental health issues. In her service to young people, she weaves in coaching questions, building accountability and resourcefulness in the young people, and opening up choice.

Andrea says: ‘It’s easy for people to dismiss the value of coaching when you are faced with significant barriers and challenges; so I hope I can sway people to open their minds to looking at things differently.’

Get ready to be touched and inspired by the story of how coaching builds hope and get ready to take some notes, because the lessons that Andrea shares will be applicable across all the coaching we are doing.
