Coaching

The first two coach-teams calls should be held no later than Friday, March 1. Coaches will be reaching out to team coordinators soon to organize and schedule the first call. Team coordinators will be given further instructions from their coach about how to prepare for the first meeting ahead of time.

• Location: Teams can choose from a variety of virtual meeting options for their team calls including conference call or a video call platform. Coaches will also have access to several virtual meeting platforms through CHLI, including a conference call line and Zoom Meetings.

• Prepare and share the meeting agenda with the team and your coach prior to the meeting, with ample time to review.

• Access/log-in information for the virtual meeting platform of choice.

• Any slides, materials, or attachments that you plan to share.
