24 Feb Preparing for the Second Coaching Session
During this workshop, you will conduct your second and final coaching session. This journal entry is designed to help you develop a game plan for this second coaching session.
Here are questions you want to keep in mind as you create your game plan:
1. What is the one area of your coaching client’s life that they most want to change? Note: You’ll need to keep the focus on only one area due to time constraints.
2. What are the biggest obstacles they face in realizing the desired change (lack of resources, limiting beliefs, energy drains, etc.)?
3. What stage of change is your coaching subject currently in? Note: The goal is to help them get to the next stage in the change process.
4. What type of customized optimal challenge would best fit their desired change and current obstacles and resources?
5. What type of commitment will you ask for in the development of an action plan that creates accountability for the desired change?
You will want to think through these questions carefully to help orient you toward the second coaching session. There is no substitute for knowing your coaching client well. And the way you get to know them is through keen observation and well-placed, empowering questions.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
· Create a flexible plan for the second life coaching session that works toward an action point.
Background Information
The idea driving this second coaching session is to funnel all of your insights and knowledge of your coaching client toward an action plan that involves real change. Make the change coincide with the optimal challenge and create some type of accountability following the second coaching session so that the desired change can be measured.
