AC105 Creating Action

Facilitator: Nick Bosk
2009/2/18 & 25

Let's talk about creating action is the next step after we set up the goal. It's a process of achieving that goal. Why to have that goal and how to get there. Motivate our clients to take action as a coach. The motivation should come from clients' values. We are not source, we help clients focus on their motivations.

Goal setting for creating action, after create your goal than put it into action.
Why (reason- focusing on personal values) and how (process) are two components to create the goal. The values must be their own values, not others' values. Focus on clients' strength inventory. Focus on growth, positive things in life.

========================
Focus on our strengths as a coach
Look into yourself and step in the role as a coach. Each of you changes the perspective that we are not students, but coaches RIGHT NOW. You are a brilliant coach. Focus on the strength that you want to grow.
What are the strengths you bring into your coaching? (1)
- Be my best self, perfectly you. (positive) >>> "better" presents the feeling of negative and lacking. (How would you take action to become a perfect you? What would be if you not take the action? What strength you have to help you make more connection with other people?)

When coaching, I know we want to have "ah-ha" moment in our life, but sometimes the conversation stop because our client need to so some fieldwork to figure it out on their own.

What are the strengths you bring into your coaching? (2)
- Being non-judgmental, allowing clients to have their voice and ideas. They need to take their own action. (How important it is to the coaching? How do you allow yourself from being judgmental? Every person is unique. We are not walk in their shoes, so we should not be judgmental.)

What are the strengths you bring into your coaching? (3)
- Supportive and good listener. Listen to clients' stories and then we share ours.

Resources
Creating a list of resources could help us to achieve the goals. Name one or two resources that you could use to be a best coach?
- ICA programs / Communities
- Clients' testimonial
- Clients to help us to get more clients
- Website would be a marketing tool for coaching business
- Current coaching clients and networking of coaches (get together and share experience, tools and challenges)

We do learn from our clients. We could find powerful message and information for me within those notes generated/reflected from the coaching session and clients. Coaching experience could help us become a better coach. Write down the best thing about you generally. Write a testimonial about yourself. We could post it on this session.
