Reflection on Peer Coaching - The Session Ninth

Peer Coaching with Mrs. Faiza Ikeda

April 02, 2009, I had my ninth peer coaching with my peer coach, Miss Faiza. Here is the summary from my coach and I would like to share it with you.

My wins:
~ worked on my coaching logo, card and model: the symbol on the card is a crystal vessel (also the name of the blog).

"Crystal"~ stands for transparent, not hiding anything.
"Vessel" ~ represents a container that can contain a lot of water / flow
Chinese ancient philosopher "Lao Tsu" said something like:
Water is the best, it can wash everything, it's flexible, and it can carry a ship...
A leader should be like water (the best is to be like water).

"Vessel" = Coach listens to the client, and is being like water (flexible, can wash everything)
"Crystal" = clear, transparent, and strong
"Crystal Vessel and Sky" = both can be as a symbol of "Dreams" (client's dreams get realized through coaching)

The meaning of my name:
Jen - empathy, kindness, following the power of nature
Yung - courage (People should never give up. Never Say Never!)

We used a process-passion game for selecting my top five passions.
And here is the list of my Top Five Passions:
1. I am helping people to reach their goals and improve life quality
2. I am enjoying an ideal relationship with my family
3. I am having free will and time to do things at the present
4. I am a good teacher, facilitator and coach
5. I am totally free in my body, mind and soul

Acknowledge myself:
~ I can use my coaching skills to help people reach their goals. I feel that now I have more power to help others.
~ I am grateful for being able to understand my self better now
~ I am getting a better idea of how to explain my coaching model

My home-play for this week:

Keep playing the passion game by taking the next step in the process.

Thank you so much, my dear coach!
