Organizational Coaching - Intensives Day 3 and 4
This weekend was the second weekend of the intensives. I feel excited as I’m accomplishing things that I never did before. I completed a coaching session in 13 minutes and got valuable insight and feedback from my peers.
I made some closer connections and friendships in this class, something that I was really hoping would happen.
Here are areas I missed in our audit call today:
Close - how to close with actionable steps for my clients
Topic and investment:
Partners with the client to define or reconfirm coaching session topic and desired outcomes
Invites the client to specify why their desired outcomes matter
Awareness and Responsibility:
Support the client to consider systemic influences, including their role and responsibility in their circumstances, and what they can think and do differently to make progress towards their desired outcomes.
Consolidation, Integration and Accountability
Invite the client to describe the progress the client has made towards desired outcome(s) for the session and/or overarching goals
Invites the client to consider the impact of their new learning (what and who) on themself and the system
Partners with the client to design clear and specific next steps such as actions and practices that integrate new learning and are within the client’s sphere and influence
Partners with the client to identify internal and external resources for support
Partners with the client to design accountability mechanisms/structures that work for the client
Partners with the client ot close session and address next steps in terms of the coaching partnership, such as follow-up, access to resources, continuation or end of coaching engagement, etc ;
Reflect:
What are the key lessons you’ve learned so far that will serve you and the cohort in Term 1?
To pace myself and get organized early so that I can get the readings done on time
Communicate, communicate and communicate! Be in relationship and speak up about something, do not suffer in silence
Ethics - crucial to bring the code of ethics and practice it during the peer coaching sessions
Mindfulness - how important that is for my coaching practice
Close - the importance of action and closing
How will you leverage your reflective practice to integrate and take action on this learning?
I will use this space to blog and journal about my experience as it’s a motivating way for me to stay engaged in this program and to reflect.
I’m feeling excited, got my Calendly page setup to take short term coaching sessions. I’m excited to see where this can go and how much I’ll grow. Really grateful for this journey of learning and my family for taking care of me.
