Team Accomplishment

I think it is safe to say that the coach has several roles to perform; with the main objective being to develop the person being coached. This can be achieved by increasing self-confidence, identifying relevant and suitable topics for coaching as well as agreeing the setting of suitable planned tasks to support the learning process.

One definition of coaching is “Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance.” (Coaching for performance, Sir John Whitmore 1992). Or to expand on this; Simply defined, coaching is one person guiding another through a process, leading to performance enhancement. The applications can vary, support to achieve a specific project, helping an individual to do better what they already do well, or developing a skill they don't yet possess.

At the time I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and maybe should have taken a bit more time to consider the important position I was accepting. I had participated in various sports teams all throughout my schooling career, but I feel like I didn’t understand or even realize the importance of team building as I had been too close to the situation as an athlete. Stepping on to the other side of the bench really was an eye opener for me. Being given a group of girls, each signing up for their first team in their high school career, all from different elementary school and backgrounds was a very daunting task. Looking back, I distinctly remember all the stages of building team cohesion happening, though I feel like it would have been far more graceful had I taken this course before accepting the role of mentor and coach of fifteen 13-year-old girls. I personally do believe that team cohesion is one of the most significant aspects of a team and is a strong identifier as to whether or not the team will be successful in achieving their goals. Without a positive team dynamic and a solid foundation of trust and understanding, there are too many issues that stand in the way of the athlete’s focus and their capability of functioning as a team. The team that I coached definitely had their ups and downs, though as they trained together and

This course has provided me with a multitude of tools, and it has definitely taught me to put careful thought into every situation as it pertains to change; whether it relates to work, school, or things that are going on in my personal life. These tools are both important and necessary in order to become an effective manager in the future.

One of the more important skills students will learn outside the classroom is teamwork. This quality can not be taught it must be learned by experience. Members will be on teams to compete in competitions. Students must learn the limits and strengths of their team member if they wish to succeed. This skill prepares students for the team work assignments which will be required in classes, as well as in everyday

Overall if I reflect back on our group work I believe we worked very well as a team and my contribution to the group was significantly high because I had an aim in my mind which I focused on until the end. As I worked the extra mile for our project, it resulted that it gave us, as a team, a bit more time in preparation for our presentation and finalizing the app which was crucial at that time for us.

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.

Managing Contemporary Enterprise, also known as MGMT 1000, is a course taught by Dr. Jean Adams that help students to be better leader of our society. The two main points discussed along the course are how to correctly fit ourselves along the developing world of technology: The Office 2020, and how to improve the soft skills. NewMindset and Epub are the valuable online course materials that aid students to enhance understandings on developing the business skills, and to become a better member of society.

When I began this course I I was unsure of what to expect. The name of the class "Management for Organization" seemed like such a broad title. Just reading the title I new this class would entitle lots information. I was praying that I didn 't get a hard professor. Through out the course I have learned a lot about responsibilities and characteristics of a CEO or managers on down the line of a business. There were a few things that I like most and I will explain them to in this paper. The topics I gained the most insight from were: big five personality traits, Levels of planning, Personal leadership style and managerial tasks. I will explain and tell you abut and what they mean and how they apply to me.

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

With the semester being short, all the assignments we do in class kind of gave some stress in me. These feelings that changed over time took time and effort to make my emotions more confident and strong to handle the part I am doing in the group project as we turn in parts of the project. Having to change and be comfortable with my thoughts on this project made it worth it after doing all the hard work.

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.

This was one of the areas I wanted to gain more confidence. I recall when I was writing my first assignment for MDP entitled “Personal Mastery” I challenged myself to develop this skill as a lead. Feedback from my fellow colleagues pointed that I wasn’t good at coach. Now it was my chance to demonstrate the capability. According to Maxwell, awareness+ability+choice=capacity. I am fully aware of my personalities. I developed the ability once I knew that I missed this part and finally I had a choice; a choice to assist the choir group in the process of fund raising. My work was to make the group aware of their potential, guide them and advise. I learnt that coaching requires empathy. At times members of the group saw me as the

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.

Our team comprised of four members; Emily, Cileena, Chelsea and I. We were all delegated with an individual role each term and I was designated team leader for the first term for our group. I felt at the time that this role did not suit me as I am the type of person who is more on the shy side. In addition, the course had just begun so I was relatively unsure of how the course was handled which also affected my ability to serve as the team leader to the best of my capabilities. During the first term, our team responsibility was the evaluation team. We created a well planned and carefully executed evaluation rubric to assess each group’s performance. The start of this term was when the phases of group development initiated. The first stage of any group is forming (Harris and Sherblom, 2010, p. 58). At this time, we were all still getting to know each other and were uncertain upon one another
