I wanted to start telling the story of our experience by sharing the feelings I brought into this exercise. A few years ago I underwent an experience of coaching through several sessions that left me this taste in the mouth that the coaching as a tool to develop others is not very effective. I have not taken the time to deeply analyze what went wrong but in general if I had to choose to do it again I think I would choose another methodology to foster change. Its objective in general is to assist in building behavioral skills, but in my opinion to really look for a long lasting change you need to give a deeper understanding to the lack of a certain skills, strongly reflect on the variables linked to it as could be the emotions, values and …show more content…
It is curious that I started this way because I would have though I am a person who prefers ambiguity rather than structure. I recognize that the reason behind it could be a defense, a way of protecting myself from a potential vulnerable situation where my emotions could be exposed. This means that despite my rational effort to go beyond my schema my inner self was not very prepared and therefore, needed to build itself with a prior framework of action. The session continued for 10 or 15 minutes and beyond the actual content of it , through the process Hanna showed an attitude of listening and care. It was like she was trying to make connections to understand and give me back her impressions of my problem. I still don’t know if this was due to the fact that , being such a responsible and organize person, she was capable of monitor the role she was consciously trying to execute or if, being a mom, she was capable to translate into the setting the care and hold she has developed with her children. Maybe it was a combination of both. What I think matters the most is that she allowed me, and I allowed myself, to share some information with her. I felt listened and was glad to have, even though for a brief moment, a symbolic space where I had the right and duty just to speak order to achieve a greater comprehension of myself. Other contexts like a chat with a friend may provide you with some of this advantages but not all of them. People usually

Coaching: helping another person to improve awareness, to set and achieve goals in order to improve a particular behavioural performance.
The primary goal of any training program is to prepare trainees to perform effectively on a specific post-training task. The trainer usually determines the training agenda, and trainees must adapt themselves to the process and structure of the training. In coaching the client sets the agenda and determines the goals to be achieved (Druckman.D and Bjork.R, 1991). That having been said, many trainers have excellent coaching skills, and coaches can be

The first coaching model to be critically appraised will be the GROW model. GROW is an acronym for Goals, Reality, Options and Will/Way forward. The GROW model was created by John Whitmore and popularised from his book in 1992, the model proceeds through the four phases, each edging the client closer to their desired goals realistically. Each phase consists with around three or four open questions initiating thought by the client as to what he or she wants and how they will get there. A major advantage of the GROW model is that the questions are fairly simplistic, although they would have to be conducted in a way which followed Whitmore’s techniques they are straight to the point.

Coaching is a useful way to develop people’s skills and abilities, and of boosting performance. It can also help deal with issues and challenges before they become major problems. Coaching typically begins with a personal interview with the employee to assess the situation, review current opportunities and challenges. After the interview, priorities for action are established along with specific desired outcomes. Individuals may also be asked to complete specific action items in a certain period of time that support the achievement of desired goals. Resources may also be provided such as articles, checklists and assessments.
Finally, I would use all these examples of coaching in my own coaching. The thing that means the most to me in coaching is this: 1) Be me, listen thoroughly without interruption or daydreaming. 2) Master the art of critical thinking questions that help guide the client to look inwardly to discover the answer that is right for them, not me. 3) Empower them with positive reinforcement. 4) Love them like Jesus
Reflective practice engages practitioners in a continuous cycle of self-observation and self-evaluation in order to understand their own actions and the reactions they prompt in themselves and in learners (Brookfield, 1995; Thiel, 1999). Reflective practice is considered as an evolving concept which views learning as “an active process of reviewing an experience of practice in order to describe, analyse, evaluate and so inform learning about practice.” (Reid, B 1993 cited in Garfat, T. 2005).

What is coaching – “The coach works with the clients to achieve a speedy, increased and sustainable effectiveness in their lives and careers through focused learning. The coach’s sole aim is to work with the client to achieve all of the client’s potential-as defined by the client” The Coaching Manual Starr, J 2008.
Coaching is the art of facilitating another person’s learning, development and performance. Through coaching people are able to find their own solutions, develop their own skills and change their own behaviors and attitudes.
Upon successful completion of this project I will identify an existing problem of a team that I am a part of and I will act as team leader and develop a coaching plan to solve this problem. I will use my current place of employment as an example. As team leader, I will lead the resolution to the problem and build a more cohesive and productive team.
