Groom a Coach

These notes are based on Groom a Coach Workshop conducted by Satisha Venkataramaiah on 8th July, 2017. The workshop started by asking participants to introduce themselves and their perspective on coaching. Each participant was supposed to describe meaning of coaching and their first coaching experience. Once this was done Satisha described Balance Coaching as a way to elevate a person step by step to a convenient position where s/he can take decision himself/herself.

Steps of Balance Coaching

• Design Alliance
• Choose a Topic
• Exploring a Perspective
• Resonant Choice
• Actions - Brainstorming
• Commitment
• Accountability
• Inquiry
• Challenge

Having described this we got a practical demonstration of balance coaching on one of the volunteers. This helped us understand how this is done. Then during the hands-on session groups of 3 Players were formed. Each one got an opportunity to act as coach, client and observer.

Terms and conditions of the discussion:

• Ask Powerful questions
• AWGO: Articulate What's Going On
• Metaphors
• Develop Intuition (No solutions should be provided)

Conclusion: From this we can conclude that “Coaching is a step by step process to elevate a person from Low Energy to Positive Energy by using Emotions, Choices, Dreams and Experience.”
