Reflection on Peer Coaching

Peer Coaching with Mrs. Faiza IkedaFeb. 18, 2009, I had my fourth 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 “Be Presence Session”.

In this session, we had a role play practice again, but this time we did the reverse role play way-I played to be my wife and Faiza to be me. This time of the process is tougher that last time we did, due to be someone else, it is harder to pretend. 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 about the past week?

1. An inner dialog with my wife
2. Exercise more with running 3km/per week/per time
3. A list about how good of my wife

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 reverse role-play session. Faiza played to be me, and I played to be my wife, we had a special circumstance to do the conversation practice, it is about the different opinion about my son’s education. I have been through a tough experience for this reverse role play session (even during the process, I found out that I didn’t know my wife well as what I thought). There is a new skill named “Reiki-Energy Work” which Faiza practiced for 10 years already. It is very helpful for inner dialog learning, if we have strong intention on something, then we can have power to connect it with.


c. My Coach, Faiza shared me with her experience about inner dialog practice and what it works to her. This is very helpful to me.

Ending with some actions:

Read the list which I have done regarding how good of my wife:
1. Make money for our family
2. Stimulate me for outdoor activities.
3. Give me a good kid and wonderful family life.
4. Bring me to her family, we had a lot of good time with her family such as her parent, brothers, and sisters.
5. Do some more challenges which I can handle to upgrade myself.
