MTD Coaching

This section of the Field Manual is for current as well as new MTD coaches. We want to provide a plethora of information, strategies, and resources that you can use as you coach your field workers. If you ever have any questions, please email the current MTD Health & Coaching Specialist, Jenni.Saniuk@Reliant.org.

Getting Started

This section will talk through things a coach would need to get rolling with a field worker (or if you are a seasoned coach, these things are good reminders). Here you can find the following:

• The Coaching Role and Responsibilities
• Job Description

• MTD Thresholds and Expectations
• Training Webinars

Tools to Use in MTD

This section helps to outline the 3 main tools people use while coaching.

1. Goal Setting Worksheet - Used to help create goals for field workers
2. Toolbox - how to use this as a coach

Coaching Bonus

In this section, you'll find information about your coaching bonus, when it is applicable, and then how to request it for your coaching hours.

Coaching Strategies

This section will outline a variety of strategies that we have seen used in the field and have been successful. These are strategies that are not readily taught at every training but could be useful for an individual field worker. These strategies include:

1. Follow Up Strategies (more details)
2. Giver Types and how to identify them
3. Unexpected Stopped Giving and how to handle
