Coaching is conceptualized about helping another person to learn, support to assimilate and grow in a sustainable manner. This activity is strategized leading to the recipients thought process to offering precise directions with respect to his or her career goals. An impactful coaching strategized as well as execute in an optimal fashion would not seldom cause a positive impact on the individual but can steer the entire organisation towards the goals. For this assignment, I had started to conduct a coaching session that was constructed around Magic question model with the recently joined dental assistance in the dental office.
This coaching session has been woven around the act of asking questions as a coach because she had a problem with the working culture and communication at new workplace. I had organized a discussion prior to the session containing a detailed explanation with respect to the coaching session. This primarily explained the advantage of the coaching session in order to initial establish level of her support.
After the discussion I could measure that she was willing to cooperate, and we discussed largely the available possible options for the accomplishment of the goals pertaining to the coaching and she expressed her confidence that it would help her.
At start I framed the optimal structure for this coaching session and commenced the conversation in accordance with the aid of questions based on the Magic question model. This supported in reinforcing my understanding about this prototypical and made the interaction more worthy. The conversation commenced with a questioning about her issues and how important this problem for her at the same time. The main concerns expressed by her was premised around work Scheduling, managing patient anxiety and work performance. The quick adaptation to different situations at work as a challenge, perhaps with a sudden change in the procedure or a difficult patient that has tall demands within a short while, or the co-worker who claims to know all processes. I could assimilate from the situation that she had an issue with the working style of the organisation and the impact that might cause on the work that she would be performing in the workplace. On the first four questions I came to an agreement on the issues thus summarized by the coaching recipient. I explored the problems by raising questions with the coachee and this aided me to be sure that the solution thus offered would be specific, measurable, and realistic and rolled out within the planned time span. In order to reach the required solutions it needs to be determinable that the solution would be a sufficient answer to the challenge. Next questioning her regarding this responsibility or the hindrances in the way of that ideal outcome. Thus, offering an honest assessment, creating self-awareness with the feedback and assistance in understanding the behaviors will improve her working style. This encourages her to progress towards the goals and recognize success at each of the milestones. The discussion progresses towards the search of options for action. This brought to view the action points required to be performed by her to overcome the issues.
As a self-observation during this session I could understand that I was extremely apprehensive about carrying out a formal session however on reflection of the session, I understood that I actually enjoyed doing it. It was interesting yet challenging placing a double card with me. This brought me to discover that I can be empathic with people based on the scenario. That Magic question model assisted placing a perspective to certain ideas she had in her mind conjuring considerable focus, which allowed her to re-align her priorities.
In summary post reflection on this overall experience I feel that it was worthwhile has rendered me with considerable realization about the pertinence of coaching in real life scenarios. The recipient -coach alliance is a relationship that is founded on the coachs fundamental desire for attainment of the altered strategies pertaining to the recipient being coached. The coach and recipient work for the attainment of the recipients goals by solving the challenges and enhancing the behavioral and cognitive development. Although the goals were accomplished by the actions undertaken by the recipient as a coach I felt the impact of my emotional intelligence based mentoring and the results of the same.
