There were several positive things I took away from my coaching certification, but most importantly, a true sense of purposeful coaching.
Coaching session questions were no longer just sentences with question marks, things that made ME curious, or ‘fillers’ of dialogue, rather intentional client-focused inquiries designed to bring about higher levels of self-discovery and self-awareness for the coachee.
I read and listen to questions now determining what the intent is for the listener.
Executive coaching is a process, I have always known and believed, but was exposed to little more than that concept. Now I had the needed understanding behind the process with the all-important dialogue, language, wording, probing, client-focused approach to wrap around the process, making it complete.
A stronger sense of self and my coaching competencies accelerated my feeling of success and meaningful coaching work and my recorded daily affirmations are an ongoing reminder of my potential as I visualize the outcomes of already achieved goals.
