Assignment due date is just around the corner and here I am not started anythoing yet!!! Scarry!!!
Have I really learnt anything from these training? I certainly have!!! Have I used some of the technic on my work, I think so.
What is that one thing that is going to stay? I think it is the awareness and ability to realise that who I am what I stand for and the constant internal battle that I will have to tell myself to shut up and listen and to realise the danger of group thinking.
What the training has successfully planted in me is the ability to keep asking myself if I have been open minded with wll argument presented and have I created an open space for the differing view. It is not the same as saying I can do all these things now but what I feel that I have definitely understood is the importance of asking these questions until one day, all these acts become a habit of mine.
Lets hope that day will come soon.

How does one coach a 5 year old kid?
Just come back from holiday, really not ready to face the real working adult world!!
Can you coach a 5 year old like how you would coach an adult? How do you make him realise his mistake and shortcoming without resorting to scolding or cold bench?? Are they capable of doing that?
Could I use the same thing of encouragement, compliement and boost of confidence on a 5 year old like what I have done on an adult??

Last entry before I go for my holiday!!! Yes finally a long awaited and well deserved holiday or so I said!!!!
Coaching is a big responsibility. It is not a process where the coachee make the commitment and the coach has nothing to do. Rather the contrary, the coach has to constantly monitor, encourage or guide to steer the coachee to the right direction.
The hardest thing I found was to find the good point of someone. It is always easy to pinpoint a shortcoming as it is most glaring!!! It is however defficult to pinpoint if someone has done something well and it does take a bid of effort to sort out who has done the right thing when things go well. I believe encouragement is a lot more possitve than criticism when someone done something wrong so I am trying to encourage and give due recognition when someone done something right. This is more difficult than I think. I thought how hard could it be to give compliment but in actual fact it is not that easy to give an accurate compliment at the right time and act as a boost for the recipent!!
Well this is an art that I have to learn to master!!!
