THE ‘PESOS’ SKILLS DEVELOPMENT MODEL

PREPARE

This involves preparation in terms of:
· Any materials required
· Identification of the development need
· The coach’s understanding of the behavioural changes required

EXPLAIN

The coach needs to explain in detail the behaviours that they are about to demonstrate in “Show”. The objective is to give the individual a clear understanding of the behaviours they have to change prior to seeing the demonstration

*
SHOW

The coach demonstrates the skill required as explained

OBSERVE

The individual attempts to replicate the demonstration they have observed. The coach makes notes for use during feedback

SUPERVISE/SUPPORT

The coach provides feedback on how the individual’s performance compares to the explanation and the demonstration given. The objective is to build the individual’s confidence and where appropriate give ideas for improvement

*
There is a limit to how much can be explained and shown in one go. Break the behaviour in to component parts as necessary.
