Coaching dialogue example by Peter Warren https://padlet.com/pwarren6/u1su6obg4hlm Sample coaching dialogue en-us 2017-04-07 12:09:15 UTC 2017-05-16 10:38:46 UTC hello@padlet.com Level III Coaching Sample from Co-active coaching pwarren6 https://padlet.com/pwarren6/u1su6obg4hlm/wish/165378603
Client: The new house is a mess. I’ve got boxes everywhere. I can
hardly get from the front door to the bathroom—and I’ve got the
biggest proposal of my career to finish by Friday.
COACH: How important is it to get settled at home? This is the
most productive time you’ve had in your business since you started.
Client: I know, but if I don’t help out with moving in, I could be
living solo soon, if you know what I mean. My wife did nearly all
the packing last month while I was traveling.
COACH: It sounds like this is a more important issue than just
some boxes to unpack. I get the sense that you’re packed as tight as
some of those boxes.
Client: Is it that obvious?
COACH: You just don’t sound like the Steve I’m used to talking to.
You sound trapped.
Client: That’s what it feels like—and with no way out. Cornered.
In my relationship and in my work.
COACH: What do you want to do about that?
Client: What I’ve been trying to do is step around it, or over it, and
that doesn’t seem to be working. I guess it’s time to sit down and
work it out—unpack it all, so to speak.

Help me understand what you have explored up to this point.
Client: Work-life balance, will it make me look like a bad mother if I am building my career while I have two small children?
Coach: What other feelings do you have about taking the next step in your career and balancing family responsibilities?
Client: Well, I know I have my partner's support and I know I have worked hard to get to where I am now and what I do is as much a part of me as being a mom.  Does that last part sound like I'm a bad mom?
Coach: Let's start with this: What do YOU want? What do you feel will make YOU a "good mom"? Do you see this changing ten years from now?
Client: I have always been career orientated, I was raised that way. I always admired my parents' partnership and I think that is what I want for my family.  It's the timing more than anything.
Coach: Ok, let's start with our concern about timing. If you choose to move your career forward now, what support do you need - have you thought through a plan with your partner? Have you considered possible approaches that can support a balance?
Client: None that I have really organized, but I have ideas.
Coach: Ok. That is good to hear. Do you feel hat might be a good place to start? ]]> 2017-05-04 23:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pwarren6/u1su6obg4hlm/wish/170068717 Level II or III ListeningMentee: I am having a difficult time deciding about whether or not to accept the interview for the Instructional Coach position. I applied before I knew my assignment for next year, and now that I know what it is, I am super happy. Do you think I should still go?Mentor: What prompted you to apply for the position in the first place?Mentee: I thought that it would be a great ‘next step’ position for me before I make the decision to move forward into administration. I really like sharing the learning with my colleagues and this position is right up my alley. But, I truly do not want to leave the kiddos here. I am really excited about the possibilities for next year at the new school.Mentor: I am glad that you are thinking about your learning and the future of your career. About the interview: What will happen if you do accept? What will happen if you don’t?Mentee: Well, if I do attend I will actually get to have the first face to face interview that I have ever had in this career. All of my other interviews have been over the phone. It will be great experience for me, and I guess at this point, it is just an interview. I am not accepting the job or anything.If I don’t accept the interview, I might be sending mixed messages to colleagues and administrators who I admire. I wouldn’t want to be seen as someone who cannot follow through on a commitment.Mentor: I know you to be someone who truly believes in continuous learning and modeling this for your students. What is the opportunity for learning here?Mentee: I guess it would be that I get to participate in a face to face interview and receive valuable feedback to inform my learning moving forward. Mentor: Sounds to me like you have a great reason to accept the interview. kristen_grant https://padlet.com/pwarren6/u1su6obg4hlm/wish/170380441 2017-05-07 18:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pwarren6/u1su6obg4hlm/wish/170380441
