AC101 Acknowledgement

Facilitator: Sherry Read
2009/3/30 & 4/6

• Acknowledge the client when he takes action.
• What about the client did take action but they have the failure result, we acknowledge their action and what they have learnt to help them move forward.
• Acknowledgement is about our client and appreciation is about me.
• Acknowledgement could help strength the relationship.
• Acknowledgement: strengthening the understanding of themselves of what they are doing.
• When we acknowledge: acknowledge their strength and values

Q: What is acknowledgement vs. feedback, vs. enthusing?
Feedback: is natural to what the person has done. Statements.
Acknowledgement goes deeper: what takes someone to take the action. It’s related to someone’s value. Long-term value. They have the ability to do it.
Enthusing is before the action. Looking at the movement forward, holding the vision.

• We appreciate the values we hold.
• We can engage our client to think what is most important for them and how do they live in their values.
• Value is a strong peace we could provide to our clients.
• Help our client to expect their values.

Q: We could help to acknowledge the client. Ultimately we want them to acknowledge themselves.
- I believe I am…. (complete the sentence - exercise). It’s a positive exercise.
- Coach could ask some examples of the above sentence.
- Building that acceptance in self-acknowledgement
- Have them enjoy the compliments.

What do you like to acknowledge yourself for?
Focusing on what she has (the values) for acknowledgement and use it for future.
