We decided to hold our peer coaching session at Janis’s place. I was running late after our team presentation at IMD.
I played the role of coach first. I asked questions.The main outcomes/questions of the session were:
1. What if crisis hits you ? How will you keep faith in the change? Will you still believe in the change
2. What timeframe you have in mind? can you actually set a timeframe in this case?
3. How you plan to measure your improvement?
4. What other support infrastructure you need to help you in this process or to accelerate the process?
Towards the end we agreed on the action plan of atleast reflecting back on daily activity could be a solution. There were more questions than answers
As a coach I tried to show the Janis the other side of the picture "what if".I think this worked well, as atleast you make coachee aware about the crisis situation.
Later I played the role of a coachee. The main outcomes of the session:
1. Thin line between mindreading and babysitting.How you can balance the act?
2. How to navigate through a difficult conversation
Janis asked questions which forced me to think and take myself out of the context. Unfortunately I will not share the details due to sensitivity of the matter.
Towards the end we looked back at our coaching sessions and discussed what worked well and why. It helped a lot when you take yourself out of a context. As a coach this is what one should work upon: Help coachee think and help the coachee to explore.
We were left wondering why things work well with someone and not with others.Both Janis and myself are extravert and still things went well.
