AC 106 Peer Coaching (2)

Facilitator: Nick Bosk & Sherry Read
2009/3/4, 3/9, 4/1 & 4/8

Challenge
Judy: It is difficult to have external clients to have 12 coaching sessions. External do not feel there is an obligation for 12 coaching sessions.
Sherry: Why do you think it is too long?
Judy: They feel there are few things to be coached.
Sherry: It takes a while for a sustainable change in life, work or relationship. That’s why 12 sessions are needed.

Marven: Wheel of Life (Life Wheel) could help us identify 2-3 top issues in life. We could use those things for the 12 sessions.
Sherry: Wheel of life is a good strategy. It might take 30-40 minutes to figure out the situation and find the solutions. Helping our clients have the confidence of doing that. There is always something not settling or got done in our lives, but having a coaching session could help clients to clarify and figure it out.

For current successful coaches, they have the obligation for 3-4 months paid by the clients to go through all the coaching process. It could help clients to create sustainable change.

Research Paper
Something is interesting that I would like to learn more about coaching to support my business in the future. Think through that strategy to support me in different ways.

Let’s go cycle back to that some of the things come up.
- Finding your coach and client: what are the ways of getting clients?
- Post on discussion board with the 30-second elevator speech
- How do we build the relationship that is comfortable?
- Did you ever take the drivers education?
- What are the structures we need?
- How do we have those conversation that it is working or not working or what could we do make it better? (Is there anything that you want me do more or less?)

External or peer clients
Face to face vs. voice (taking notes, asking questions, and looking at clients)
