Instruction
Conducting two coaching sessions or pretend sessions on inspiring or motivating someone about their future.
Completing an essay of 2 pages about each coaching experience including
What is the nature of the person's performance or mood prior to the session
A detailed description of the session, who said what, what questions were asked (sometimes people prefer to separate the session description and analysis)
Outcome or possible results of the conversation
2) Objectives:
a. Practice bringing someone into the Positive Emotional Attractor (PEA) and keep bringing them back to it (if they slip into the NEA)
b. Practice applying key concepts from this course
3) BE prepared with cues or questions to help them get into the PEA
4) BE prepared with ways to bring them back into the PEA if they start to slip into the NEA
5) CREATE a new, relaxed setting for the conversation
6) BE prepared to offer some of your own reflections on the same question – it often feels mutual
7) DO NOT try to go through the entire coaching process, just work on the PEA and Discovery #1 (and maybe Discovery #5)
QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED:
1) If your life were perfect and your dreams came true, what would your life and work be like in 10-15 years? {VISION/HOPE]
2) What are the values or virtues that are most important to you? What kind of person would you love to be? [MINDFULNESS]
3) Who helped you the most to become who you are or to get where you are? [COMPASSION]
4) If those fail to stimulate the PEA, try something like these to warm them up and then go back to the questions above (PLAYFULNESS]:
a. If you won $50,000,000 after taxes in the lottery, how would your work or life change?
b. What would you wish your legacy to be (after you have died)?
c. What would you love to do or experience before you die?
Second Part
Write a 2-page essay about each session using concepts from the course, documenting and labeling the following:
a) What are the nature of the person’s (coachee’s) performance and mood prior to the session?
b) A detailed description of the session, who said what, what questions were asked (sometimes people prefer to separate the session description and analysis).
c) Outcome or possible results of the conversation.
