Coaching and mentoring are processes that motivate and develop talent in students and enable them gain the skills needed to achieve their goals. Mentoring and mentoring are based on the Drama Triangle, which allows the mentor to assemble relationships with students while supporting the development process.
The Drama Triangle is a method of interaction in which three roles: Persecutor, Victim, and Rescuer are used to establish a dialogue that promotes student development. Each part has its characteristics that can be used to build relationships. For example, a persecutor can use his energy and authority to attract attention and support a student’s development (Lac & Donaldson, 2022). The victim, on the other hand, can use his authenticity and kindness creates a sense of security and understanding. Finally, the rescuer role offers students practical solutions and support that they can use to achieve their goals.
“Go-to-role” involves using different tactics to attract the student’s attention and sense of understanding. For example, the persecutor can be kind and affectionate, and the victim can actively use his expression and experience (Sobočan et al., 2020). This allows the mentor to understand the student and build with him a process of support and development. My leading role in the Drama Triangle is the role of Rescuer. I can use my intuition and practical solutions to support students in achieving their goals. I can be a source of motivation and support for students and help them realize their potential. Through my relationship with students, I can provide them with the means to improve their goals and achieve their potential.
In conclusion, mentoring and coaching are essential tools to provide students with practical skills, motivation, and support to achieve their goals. The Drama Triangle and its roles allow mentors to build relationships with students, develop their talents and abilities, and help them achieve their goals. In this way, we can see that coaching and mentoring advantage both mentors and learners and are valuable and affordable tools for transforming people’s lives.
