My rules;

Be yourself
Keep it informal
Find common ground
Ask questions and listen!!!!
Think outside the box
Have miles and miles of patience
Stay positive 100% of the time (you set the tone right from the START!)
Positive feedback is more effective than negative feedback (do no confuse that with being stern when it comes to safety concerns)
Smile a lot!!! everyone is there to have a good time. If they aren't smiling, your doing it wrong

Above all, have fun and remember your enjoyment comes from the success of others, even if they can't find it on their own.

Good luck Ben, coaching is not for everyone but for those who posses the predisposition it is very rewarding.
