I attended 2 classes Wednesday on Coaching Model and Coaching Process. Took a risk in both and shared my coaching model and got some really good feedback, so thanks to everyone who was on the call and shared their thoughts. I was also asked to share info on the Kolbe Profile. I have also blogrolled the website: www.kolbe.com for anyone interested in the Kolbe Profile tool. I am also a licenced facilitator for Kolbe and can run a session for you or interpret your results if you want to check it out as a tool. Developing my coaching model really helped bring into focus what it is that I want to do for my clients and what they want from me. It helped me frame what value I bring to the coaching relationship and I hope that my model will reflect this. It also helped me understand my own process, and much of what is in it comes from the learnings at ICA and my own experiences of coaching. I also know that my model will evolve over time as I work with it. It was also beneficial to research other models and see what is out there and learn about different approaches to coaching. It also boosted my confidence a little to have thought through a model and create it. I feel like I am closer to my goal for having created it.
