Pennsylvania, USA --- Community Life Coaches, Chris and Carol Green, were ‘spotlight’ presenters at the Dauphin County Systems of Care Community Partners monthly meeting.
Carol opened the presentation by reading an email from a young woman they had coached and mentored over 20 years ago. The woman had written to thank the Greens for the role they had played in her life.
“Many of you have similar testimonials,” she told the meeting participants , “It’s because you have that passion for helping people.”
Chris explained the concept of CARE-Readiness with the analogy that some parcels and packages are labeled ‘Handle with Care.’ He then explained how they use the acronym CARE which means Compassion/ Civility; Awareness/ Accountability; Respect; and Empathy.
He challenged the gathering with three questions:
- Are you CARE-ready in your professional and personal life?
- Would you like to be even more effective in your people connections?
- Who handles you with CARE…. When you’re on the edge of burnout or compassion fatigue?
He explained the differences of coaching vs. mentoring, and coaching vs. counseling in order to clarify what it really means to provide life coaching or, at least, a coaching approach within case management and people-helping.
They also spoke on how CARE-readiness is instrumental for addressing burnout and compassion fatigue.
