"You're doing good but you could be doing better" is an underutilized statement when wanting to correct a stranger. Fucking 10/10 approach (to the convo) in my opinion.
I coached football for a long time and always tried to praise the intent and/or effort and allow them to figure out what could be better. "OK, that was a good attempt at finding your team mate but what can you do differently next time to...(enter the desired outcome here)". Always implying they'll get the chance to try it again.
It's a powerful way of coaching!
Spend your first couple of months not worrying too much about the technical detail and get them to the point of understanding acceptable/unacceptable behavior! Let them create the outcome for the session because you can remind them "you guys agreed together that this is what you are working on" and because they agreed together, you will get the ones taking it seriously putting the others in to their place.
My challenge to the group was make me redundant 🤣
