The clarity around the strategies and expectations is very refreshing.]]> 2021-08-19 23:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686822888 After watching videos, reading, and exploring the Lab, I think of BL coaching as a kind of complex dance - lots of physical and mental moves to coordinate both during and surrounding sessions! https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686823179 2021-08-19 23:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686823179 The rubric offered some key areas of focus as I start this work with BetterLesson.

To be honest, I want to get certified in a few areas before I coach which I know might take longer than the course. I am wanting to go slow to go fast so feel like I am not at a point where I want to keep rushing it. I like to soak information in, reflect and then try. I might be the turtle in the group :) https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686824257 2021-08-19 23:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686824257 I know we have an assigned mentor in this course. Is there any time that this mentor is specifically involved in our coaching (e.g. Is this who we bounce questions off of as we are getting started with participants)? Or, is that not the purpose of this mentor partnership?

I am looking forward to exploring the BetterLesson Lab more and how to use it most effectively when assisting participants. https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686828114 2021-08-19 23:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686828114 Tips https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686828500 Are there any tips for quickly building relationships for the short cycle coaching?]]> 2021-08-19 23:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686828500 Can you describe what parts of coaching "live" on Coachbase vs. what parts of coaching live on the BL Lab (such as this meeting)? https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686829197 2021-08-19 23:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686829197 Throughout the onboarding and certification process it has been nice to be able to go back, review and listen to understand. My questions have been answered by diving back in and researching the resources. https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686829349 2021-08-19 23:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686829349 Will our 1st match be a 4-session coaching cycle? https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686829510 2021-08-19 23:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686829510 Digging into the Coach/Participant Workspace https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686831960 2021-08-19 23:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonschmelzer/oh80412zffmw32jt/wish/1686831960 How to access the Coach Digest?
