Courtneys reflection of session three using Gibbs refelective model

# data[].attributes.body
Description: I had my last coaching session which was based on the GROW model.

Feelings: I was feeling a bit nervous as the coaching session involved answering lots of questions. But I was also feeling happy because we were going to talk about the completion of my goal.

Evaluation: I didn't like having to answer lots of questions but it was good to have help setting a new goal for the future.

Analysis: I found this session less challenging then the others because I knew what to expect.

Conclusion: I could have said more but I find some of the questions hard to answer and understand.

Action plan:
If I had to the session again I would try to not be as nervous.

In this journal a study was conducted on students with ADHD and learning disabilities to see the effect of coaching. All of the students described feeling more positive about completing their goals. They also found that coaching helped with their development and confidence. (Parker and Boutelle, 2009) This journal was helpful to see how coaching can help with learning difficulties, although Courtney does not have learning difficulties she is a more practical person and can struggle academically.

This journal explains multiple approaches to coaching including :behavior, cognitive and psychological approaches. Behavior approach considers the complexity of the individual and their environment. It aims to create change and personal development. Cognitive approach believes that feelings and emotions are created by someones thoughts. The main aim of this type of coaching is to change thoughts that are creating negative emotions. (Ives,2008)

This journal contains information on psycho dynamic approach to coaching. This approach believes that coaches tend to have a lack of psychological training that is required for something as complex as coaching. This approach is more in depth however this is not always appropriate. There must be an appropriate environment for coaching to allow for reflection.  The coach must also show empathy and help the person being coached to have empathy for themselves.
(Motsoaledi and Cilliers, 2012) This journal was helpful as Courtney is being coached at College which may not be an appropriate environment to facilitate reflection.

This journal discusses the difficulties of being aged fifteen to eighteen. Courtney is 16 so it is good to understand what she might be going through to help with her coaching. Students of this age can worry about struggling academically and relationships with family and friends. It suggests that coaching can help increase hardiness which means people are better equipped to deal with stressful situations. (Green et al, 2007)

This journal suggests that coaching can have psychological benefits for the coach.  This journal was interesting because it was the only one found on the positive effects coaching has on the coach. It suggests that people in high stress jobs can utilize coaching to help them naturally heal and grow. It concludes that people in high stress jobs can cope better and continue their jobs longer if they coach others.

This journal discusses some disadvantages of coaching models. It suggests that coaching models tend to be quite simple and that coaching is not a simple process. It also talks about social and cultural differences in people and how models may not be appropriate to all people.

This e book was useful as it outlines the roles and responsibilities of different types of coaches . It states there are ten roles that a coach can have. These include being a catalyst for change. This means the coach must help the client to analyse their situation and goals and gain reflection from them, which can help initiate change for the better. ( Cornett et al 2009)

Reflection from Courtney:

Coach: Did you find the session helpful?

Courtney: Yes I did. It was good to know you were coming to see me as it motivates me to keep progressing. It was also good to speak about how I have improved and what I can do to continue to work towards my goal.

Coach: Were the questions easier to understand this week?

Courtney: They were better however I think some of the questions still didn't make much sense to me.

Coach: How could the session have been improved?

Courtney: Simpler questions, also I felt like I was repeating myself sometimes as some questions were similar.

Reflection of coach:
- Could have made questions easier to understand.
-Make sure not to use similar questions so the Courtney doesn't have to repeat herself
-Try to encourage Courtney to speak a bit more by using open questions because sometimes her answers are short.

-Could have prompted Courtney a bit more as her answers were short.

This journal contains useful information on lots of different coaching methods including GROW, ACHIEVE, POSITIVE and the ABCDE model. This was good to have knowledge of different models to choose an appropriate one for the person being coached. This journal helped to show the simplicity of the GROW model compared to other models. GROW only has four sections whereas the other models have more. The GROW model has been chosen for the coaching sessions as it is simple and easy to understand for younger people. (Palmer,2008)
