Peer Coaching: Reflection on Learning Buddy Coaching

Peer Coaching with Mrs. Faiza Ikeda

Feb. 12, 2009, I had my third peer coaching with my peer coach, Miss Faiza and would like to describe this coaching process a little for my personal record.

I named it as “Role Play Practice Session”. In this session, we practiced a role play practice-I have been through a very good experience for role play (even during the process, I have some tough time in thinking of the conversation).

The coaching process:

a. Centering : Again, Faiza invited me to do deep breath together with her and comfort me to relax myself and feel to have a very safe environment to talk always. This is a very good skill and comforting time for me to make me be more concentrated and relaxed for this coaching session. Ask question: Sharing your wins to me?
1. The acronym of my Chinese name, Jen-Yung: Just Empower “Never say never” strength -Yield to an Universal and Natural Guidance.

2. Do something small more to be a better me.

b. Review what we have discussed last time to facilitate me in deep thinking and remind me what I have promised to myself. Go forwarder, we practiced a role-play session. Faiza played to be my wife, and we had a special circumstance to do the conversation practice. I have been through a very good experience for role play (even during the process, I have some tough time in thinking of the conversation). There was a sentence from Faiza which made me in deeper thinking about my tough situation, “you knew me very well right at the beginning.”

c. My Coach, Faiza shared me with a article from Inspiring Learning Organization- Standards of Presence.

Ending with some actions:

a. Do something small to be better me.

b. Run a conversation with myself (Role-Play) again in deeper. Thinking a particular situation, ask question, and have the conversation inside my mind to see what will be? Let the emotional and experience to flow free themselves.
