Today was the beginning of the second module. Thought provoking, challenging and at times unexpected it was a great feeling to be back in the group. There was plenty of time for practising new techniques and approaches. Coaching sessions can be used to explore, develop and name goals. To achieve goals the coach and the coaching space offers an opportunity for actions that are specific in terms of what, when and how to be identified by the coachee. When the actions are completed it can be anticipated the goal will be achieved. Written here the process sounds neat and fluid and it could be, equally though it could be an identified action feels jarring, isn’t attempted or completed. Reviewing actions (attempted or not attempted, complete or incomplete and all the degrees between these extremities) in further coaching sessions can lead to the coachee connecting with further insights about the action itself, its relationship to the goal, the goal in a wider sense and / or the changing priorities of the coachee.
This course continues to offers up much to think about.
