Moderator- Sherry Read

What Coaching is Not?
As a relatively new profession, coaching is a methodology that draws on a range of other more traditional professions including psychology, business consulting, mentoring management theory and adult learning. However, coaching is a unique field and there are significant differences between coaching and these fields.
Coaching is not therapy, counselling or psychology. Coaching is often likened to consulting. However, there are distinct differences between these disciplines.
What is the difference between an Executive, Corporate or Business Coach?
It is based on the client's need and outcomes which they want.
Why companies hire coaches?
This is a good questions which the moderator gave to us in the end of this session.

AC211 Diversity (Cross Cultural Coaching)-Reflection on this course
Moderator-Angela Bird
Jan. 29, I took another teleclass course-AC 211, Diversity-Cross The Cultural Coaching
I am impressed by the researched that the moderator shared about summer camp. , there is a research that makes the kids to be different groups, and give them games to compete with each other group. After a wile, re-organize them to different teams, during the process to do the subtle observation about their interaction. From friends to competitor, from similarity to dis-similarity, how diversity flow among the kids.
Diversity is and should be a major interest and concern for most businesses and organizations today. Not only will we be faced with coaching clients of diverse backgrounds, but we will be challenged with coaching our clients to better understand as well as tap into the power of diversity.
Diversity brings with it many challenges. With diversity come differences. With differences comes the opportunity for conflict and misunderstanding. However, while it is important to be aware of difference and be flexible in our dealings with others, its important not to be overwhelmed by our differences. There are some basic ways that we can maintain respect for diversity while still making connections around our shared human experience and minimizing the opportunities for conflict or misunderstanding. In order to respect diversity, individuals and organizations need to understand and support the following ideas:
● Differences are viewed as strength.
● Individuals are free to achieve their potential.
● The complexity of diversity is valued.
● The work of all is appreciated.
● Communication takes place in a supportive manner.
● The rights of each of us, and all of us, are respected.
In the end, Angela give us some suggestion to read books about different cultures, the book” The World Is Flat” could be a good choice.

FC 103: EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK 1-Reflection on this teleclass
Moderator-Bill Turpin
Jan. 29, I got the chance to join the teleclass course-Effective Feedback 1, I was so excited. This is a very special and enjoyable experience.
Here is my refection on this course. What is difference between feedback and Opinion?
Feedback attracts, opinion attack. I liked this express very much.
Effective feedback creates a kind of awareness that makes a difference in how one sees things. It provides insight, opens thought and expands vision. How can we have a effective feedback to a client? The most important thing is we must know the client’s goal and value.
A common mistake coaches often make is to offer opinions rather than feedback. Opinions sometimes fall under the “false label” of feedback. When this happens, the client is disempowered and the coach-client relationship may suffer negative effects.
There are several questions which are very good during the course and they are from our read material:
1. How do you feel about receiving feedback?
2. What kind of feedback has made a difference for you?
3. What kind of feedback has left you disempowered?
4. What is the difference between feedback and criticism?
5. What is the purpose of feedback in a coaching situation?
We are naturally to give someone our opinion. We should be very careful about this nature.

AC204: Re-Framing 3 - Reflection on the session
Moderator-Angela Bird
Jan. 28, I jumped to took a teleclass course-AC 204, Re-Framing 3? The moderator leaded it into 3 parts from my perspective:
1. Inviting attendants to share our opinions about perspective and Re-framing.
2. Asking questions to lead us to think about perspective and Re-framing.
3. Group coaching practice learning by asking questions.
This is really a facilitation session.
Re-framing supports the client by helping them see and understand that there is more than one way to look at a given situation. Consider how powerful a coach you will be when you can improve a client's life. Not by changing all their circumstances - which they are busily trying to do - but by reframing their perspective.
One of the most valuable contributions a coach can make to a client is to help them discern – get clear on - their current perspective and enthuse them to shift into a more empowering one. When this happens, we call this reframing.
While we do the group coaching practice learning by asking questions, I really like this kind of processing to facilitate attendants to think the topic deeper and reflect ourselves. Here are the questions:
1. Please write down your issue.
2. What is your belief regarding to this issue?
3. What is your reward about thinking it this way? Find the positive intention behind.
4. What is the opposite belief to the issue?
5. If you have only one choice, what will you choose?
6. What would help you to change the perspective? (Pretend you know you need to change)
Went through this process, I got a very deep reflection on myself.

FC102: PERSPECTIVE 1 - Reflection on the session
Moderator-Michael Moniv
Today, I took a teleclass course, Perspective part (1).
I really got inspired about the sentence: “Change our thinking, change our life” which is shared by one of attendants. Your perspective determines your experience in life, not your circumstances.
Perspective is so fundamental to how we all experience life. We could go as far as to say the entire International Coach Academy (ICA) program is based on it. The concept of perspective is so powerful and fundamental, you could coach from this alone, without using any of the other coaching techniques taught at ICA, and still be a powerful coach, explained and said from Michael.
Consider how powerful a coach you will be when you can improve a client's life. Not by changing all their circumstances - which they are busily trying to do - but by ReFraming their perspective.
During the course Michael asked us to think and share our thinking which some good questions as below:
1. When have you experienced a change in your perspective? What did it take for you to change your point of view?
2. How will helping your clients change their perspective make a difference in their lives?
Aware and Re-frame our own perspective is first step to learn before we can help the client.
Is it matter to me some years later? This is a very powerful question which we can ask ourselves to shift perspective while we meet the tough perspective.
I enjoyed this session very much, thank you so much, Michael and all attendants' input during the course.

FC101: What is coaching 2 (Introduction to Coaching) - Reflection on the session
Moderator-Ronnie Noize
Jan. 23, I took a teleclass course, What is Coaching? (Introduction to Coaching)
The International Coaching Federation, defines coaching in the following way:
"Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce
fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve
their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.
Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual
client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the
client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach's job is to provide support to
enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.”
(ICF website, 2006)
I really like Miss Ronnie said: Coaching is all about the process and the client.
A coach offers many things to the client during the coaching process such as:
1. Support to discover the answers within him or her self
2. Clarification of values
3. Co-creation of a plan for how to achieve what the client really wants
4. A sounding board for new ideas
5. Support in making life changing decisions
6. Challenge to expand their views beyond their perceived limitations
7. Direction
8. Acknowledgement
9. Encouragement
10. Resource of information
Ronnie give us some very good questions during the course:
1. What’s the difference between Coaching and Therapy?
2. What is the difference between an Executive, Corporate or Business Coach?
I found my own answer through the course reading material and during the course processing. I enjoyed this course very much.

FC102: PERSPECTIVE 2 - Reflection on the session
Moderator-Bill Turpin
Yesterday, I took a teleclass course, Perspective. I really got inspired about the sentence.
Are you ready for the secret of life? Your perspective determines your experience in life, not your circumstances. Perspective is a choice. You can choose a perspective for the special circumstance. Bill had said a lot of good inspired sentence to all of us which I was touched.
Perspective is a point of view which plays a fundamental part in any coaching session. In fact, it is in life itself. It is "a way of looking at, or interpreting, a particular situation."
One of the most valuable contributions a coach can make to a client is to help them discern their current perspective and enthuse them to shift into a more empowering one. When this happens, we call this process, Re-framing.
Bill left us some good questions which we should find out:
1. What is a disempowering perspective you have been using lately? Can you re-frame it?
2. Pick an area of your life where a problem has persisted for some time. Discern the perspective, and re-frame it.
I enjoyed this session very much, thank you so much, Bill and all attendants.
