Part 3: A New Coach by Brandi Alvarez<\/p>\n

Today is the beginning of a new chapter in my journey \u2013 being a coach<\/a>.\u00a0 I am ready to start anew and enter in with positivity and hope for a new outlook. \u00a0I realized today I like the prospect of coaching; it is encouraging more than I ever thought.\u00a0 I know as a coach I am the encourager and the role encourages me.\u00a0 I will admit when I started this process I thought I was going to gain more insight into conflict and further expand my knowledge in dispute resolution; instead I have gotten to go on a different journey and interestingly one that coincides with everything I have already learned.\u00a0 The forward focus concept is so simple and so hard to constantly keep going. \u00a0I am continually asking, \u201cWhere do you see yourself?\u201d and \u201cHow do you get there?\u201d and realize those are such great questions. \u00a0The questions have become ones both for my client and for me.\u00a0 I feel like I am on this journey with my client and it is helping me to go back to my own focus and start again.\u00a0 I am amazed to find myself here and with so much hope.<\/p>\n

Because my degree is about conflict I still keep searching for the conflict, looking to a solution, wanting to be the problem solver.\u00a0 I discover it is hard to hold my tongue and let my client find his own way. \u00a0For me this keeps circling back to the forward focus: how you can you move forward?<\/p>\n

When I started coaching<\/a> the answers started falling into place. \u00a0For me now it is a logical progression of client, student, coach, I value being all three to really see the benefit of the process.\u00a0 There is a method behind it; there are specific questions to be asked and an order to follow.\u00a0 Coaching is its own language. \u00a0Now that I have coached I understand and I see how it works.\u00a0 At this point I am able to feel the benefits of coaching no matter the circumstance or the goal you are trying to achieve.\u00a0 I know that having coaching as a skill set will help me be a better person, a better advocate, and a better conflict manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
