Coaching Example from a Professional Certified Coach

[@melvamcglen2025]

It is obvious she has some unresolved emotions around leaving the board. It seems this should have been the main topic of discussion. I'm not sure if she would be successful with moving onto a new volunteer job without first processing through the pain she has around leaving the board and feeling like she is being pushed out. This is what stood out to me. She choked up almost every time it was mentioned.

[@inviteCHANGE]

Thanks for your observations, Melva! What curious questions would you have asked to dig deeper into processing her experience?

[@chinweibiefo4403]

I love the way she landed on the first issue with clarity just by being asked what she wanted to talk about today.

Thanks Chinwe!

How you making out in the field?

[@brandydinsmore8214]

Thank you for showing this coaching example. I am a new ADHD Coach, just finishing the training process, after retiring 3 mos ago from 25 yrs as an LiCSW at a welfare agency. Although similar to my job in intake for 9 yrs, it is definitely a different type of questioning. Its great to see other coaches work as well.

We are so glad you enjoyed the example! Congratulations on embarking on a new adventure with coaching. Keep coming back as we upload new videos each week.

I found myself curious about exploring the degree to which Lyssa's feelings about this situation were rooted the fact she was leaving the board in general, versus the idea that she was being nudged farther way. I also noted she referenced being "burnt out" after along spell of volunteering, and I was curious how that related to her desire to find an immediate replacement volunteer position.

[@inviteCHANGE]

Scott--your curiosity to explore your impressions of this session and the contemplation that goes along with that is a learning. Noticing choice points and thinking about where you may have brought your curiosity forward in a different way is one of the gifts of having recorded sessions to observe, learn from and take your coaching to a deeper level. Thank you for commenting.

[@amybryant4400]

Thank you for making this available! It will be helpful as a prepare for my first-ever coaching session in the coming weeks. I’m astounded at the shift in perspective that can happen in such a short time. Cheers to you both - and I hope Alyssa is enjoying her latest volunteering opportunity.

[@inviteCHANGE]

Glad you appreciated it, Amy! Yes, the shift is profound and will serve you as you coach in the upcoming session.

[@theshiftingpoint4077]

Enjoyed the session really. A question: I noticed that the coachee was emotionally charged a couple of times and in fact she had some tears. The coach did a wonderful silence there. Why was not this aspect explored with the coachee or even commented on? Thank you!

[@inviteCHANGE]

Thank you The Shifting Point for your coaching question. There are choice points in every session where a coach makes the call to follow a thread. If this were an ongoing client/coach relationship, the coach could review the recording and perhaps catch what you observed and pick up the thread. I appreciate the noticing and offering of what choice you would have made. It all contributes.

[@Antigone-yp6ht]

Interesting. Any updates?

This is a great video.... I learned so much from the both of you. NOTE: I just wished BOTH of you had LOOKED into the LENS of the camera... so we, the viewer would have thought you were talking to US... (it felt, noncommittal), It is more professional you looking at us... not... You looking at yourself, watching yourself in the monitor.

[@inviteCHANGE]

Judi - this is such a challenge. They are actually looking at each other on their monitors. But it doesn't look like it. But you make a great point about the importance of looking at the camera if you want the other person to feel like you're looking into their eyes. Thanks!

[@JudiChristopher]

@@inviteCHANGE Thank you... This happened to me the first time I had used an iPhone... I thought I was looking at the people I was talking to... and instead I was just watching me talk... I didn't get the job... (filming) ... so now I know to look at the lens... ;)

[@beverlysouthern-warburton735]

@@JudiChristopher its really hard to look at the lens and also actually see the person you need to be observing ie the coachee, to see their mannerisms etc. Its a limitation of on-line. Most people are ok with it.
