Reflection on Peer Coaching

Peer Coaching with Mrs. Faiza Ikeda

Feb. 26, 2009, I had my fifth peer coaching with my peer coach, Miss Faiza and I would like to describe this coaching process a little for my personal record. I named it as “Emergency Issue Session”. In this session, I had an emergency issue about lay-off my crew due to the economic crisis.

I just want to say thank you, Faiza so much to be a company with me at that time which did give me a very powerful strength. I have been trough a very tough time in company recently, and it is so lucky to have Faiza to be a peer coach, especially at this moment, it did mean a lot more.

Really appreciated, my dear coach! This following are what Faiza, my peer coach wrote to me which I liked it a lot and would like to share with others:

“Personally I also found that during this time of my training with ICA, I was lucky to always have a peer coach when I most needed one. And it really made a great difference. As for your challenges right now, I have a very good feeling that they are happening because you are ready to learn new lessons that they are bringing. And I can already see that learning happening and first changes that it brings with it. Your self- awareness is well developed and you benefit from it greatly. And your kindness and concern for others as well as your wish to help them is a wonderful personality trait that you can truly be proud of. Not to say that we can always help everyone in our lives, but when it is right, you will be able to do it. And be proud of your self. And when it is not right (for whatever reason) you will be just able to release it and will feel good about it. This brings a lot of peace and harmony in the way how you feel about your self.

I love that this is all happening "in front of my eyes" and I can share it with you.”

What do you think, my friends? I really feel that I am lucky to have a good coach like Faiza. Thank you, my dear peer coach!
