WHAT IS COACHING?

“Coaching closes the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. It is a professional relationship with someone who accepts nothing but your best and who will advise you, guide you, encourage you and challenge you to go beyond self-imposed limitations in order to realize your full potential.”

EXAMPLE OF A COACHING SESSION

• Where are you now?• Where you want to be?• What goals to establish?• What obstacles are in the way?• What action plan to take?

EXAMPLE OF A COACHING SESSION (continued)

• When will you start and stop each action step?

• How you want to be held accountable?

• How will you measure the action steps?

AFTER A COACHING SESSION

• What worked well?• What did not work well?• What would you do differently?• What did you learn?• How can you apply that learning?

COACHING RELATIONSHIP

Testimonial “My coach has been a major influence since he became my

coach in September. He is a true leader by example. He was kind enough to share with me his own trials and tribulations of his experience in college and how he developed into the successful professional that he is today. Before I met my coach, I had a lot of doubts in my mind about whether or not I could finish college; but he helped me to realize that my efforts prove that I have the drive that it takes to accomplish my goals as long as I remained focused. He also taught me the importance of organization, planning and networking within my organization while still in school. The Coaching Program is an excellent tool!”

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE LIFE BALANCE DIAGRAM

1. The outer rim of the circle diagram on the next page represents the total time you have available to you during a week of school. First, Identify the major categories that you use it for. For example, work, play, school, socializing with friends, travel time, sleeping, etc.

2. Next, estimate the percentage of the week’s time that you devote to each major category. For example if you spend 20 hours per 7-day week on the category of class-related activities (classes and study time) and there are 168 total hours in the week, then this equals about 12% of the total time. (The sum of all your categories should equal 100%).

3. Now, using the 10% divisions on the outer edge of the circle as a guide, beginning at the top, proceed clockwise around the circle. Mark off a section of the outer circle that represents the percentage for each of your categories. Then connect each of your marks to the center. When you complete your picture will look like a pie cut into sections. Label each of sections with the appropriate life category.

4. Look at each category you have chosen, indicate the degree of current satisfaction you have with that aspect of your life on a scale that includes DISSATISFIED, SOMEWHAT SATISFIED, SATISFIED and HIGHLY SATISFIED.

5. Finally, within each segment of the circle, shade in the level of satisfaction you have chosen for that particular category.
