AC106 Peer Coaching (1) -Relection on this course

Moderator- Bill Turpin

March 17, I took AC106 Peer Coaching (1), since I have one peer coach who is doing a great job for me now, I really have a very good feeling about this topic.

Bill facilitated this class be a supportive class by asking the attendants for any kind of questions for ICA coaching training program. I would like to share what I have learned and read in the session and material: In this session, I learned the most is understood about the design structure of ICA program.

Before starting out coaching others at ICA, we ask that you be coached yourself for 12 sessions by another ICA student who is further through the program.

Being a Coach Client and Being a Coach are important in learning process, learning by doing is the key of being a good coach.

Why 12 sessions? There are any number of processes for coaching and no one arrangement that meets everyone’s needs. However, ICA believe that, 12 sessions is required to build a solid relationship of trust with your peer client. The 12 sessions also allow you and your peer client to experience a full range of coaching experiences and for you to try a range of strategies.

Finally, when in doubt, ask for help. We can gain support via the Discussion Board or in the teleclasses from our colleagues and teleclass leaders, like Mr. Bill Turpin .

Thank you
