What are the most effective ways to reflect on your coachees for deeper understanding?

Uma das maneiras mais eficazes de refletir sobre meus coachees para obter uma compreens?o mais profunda é praticar a escuta ativa durante nossas sess?es, permitindo que eles expressem seus pensamentos, sentimentos e desafios de forma aberta e honesta. Aplico técnicas de questionamento poderosas, como perguntas abertas e reflexivas, para explorar mais a fundo suas perspectivas e estimular a autoconsciência. Encorajo a autoavalia??o regular, incentivando-os a refletir sobre suas próprias experiências, conquistas e áreas de desenvolvimento, o que contribui para uma compreens?o mais holística e aprimorada de suas necessidades e objetivos de carreira.

Ter um diário para analisar e refletir significa, por excelência, fazer registros preciosos de seus coachees quanto suas aprendizagens, evolu??es e transforma??es. Cabe mencionar também é muito importante a reflex?o mais intimista do coach sobre seus registros sobre seus pensamentos, sentimentos, aprendizagem, estratégias e performance. O coach deve incentivar seus coachees a utilizarem o diário de bordo para registrar suas experiências diárias. Nos dias atuais, é imprescindível ter um diário para deixar registrado a aprendizagem como a evolu??o dos mesmos.

Starting a coaching journal is a transformative practice for any coach aiming to enhance their effectiveness and deepen their understanding of both their clients and their own coaching style. It serves as a reflective tool that allows coaches to capture insights, track progress, and identify patterns over time. By consistently journaling, coaches create a feedback loop that fosters continuous improvement, self-awareness, and a more personalized approach to each client's journey. It’s an invaluable asset for any coach!

Coaching journal is the best way to document your coaching activities. If it's scientifically maintained, it can help you in immense ways. You can track patterns and trends to plan and strategise your next coaching. It can help you in zeroing on your long term and short term coaching plans and the outputs you have gained through your trainings/ coaching. So, if you are a person who believes in planning, this journal must be your one of the most important coaching assets

You can also make observations on emotions and body language . Body language accounts for a big percentage of what is not spoken. Differentiate between noise and signals .

Self reflection works for me the most. After each coaching session, I engage in a short reflection. This helps me gain clarity on my own thought processes.

At the end of a coaching session I ask the coachee for his/her main-take-away. To reflect on my coachee I take afterwards 5 to 10 minutes to answer myself four questíons. What about my feeling? feelings inform us about the underlying topic resp. process. If I would feel sadness, I would know that the topic in question is around "loss".If I would feel anger, I would know that there were values violated. Next I ask myself about the feeling of the coachee. What I could perceive? Was coachee's feeling different from my feeling or was it the same (countertransference). The third question aims at the takeaways and main insights of the coachee. The forth question asks me whether - related to the coachee's goals - ther was an effectiver progress

Persistent reflection. In a universal spirit, with a broad democracy for every belief, opinion, knowledge, experience. With bravery in forming conclusions.

Feedback is the breakfast for champions. Feedback will make coaches improve their next session . It will make them grow as coaches and be more creative. Self awareness is powerful and the more you are self aware the best for your coaching business

The feedback we can get from our coachees (?) is invaluable in how we adapt to each coachees needs. No two are exactly alike and to understand how effective we are with each of them is imperative to being able to implement transformation in their lives. To gain this understanding using the filters of each person we are helping will allow us to help future coachees more effectively as well, especially when keeping notes and reflecting on a consistent basis for the best return on the investment of not only our time, but also for those we coach.

Sich einem Feedback-Prozess zu stellen halte ich in egal welchem Setting als sinnvoll, wenngleich es im Coaching-Prozess ja nicht unbedingt abrufbar ist, wie das Coaching wirkt. Für viel effektiver halte ich es letztlich, am Ende und zu Beginn jeder Einheit zu hinter- bzw. zu erfragen, was der-/diejenige mitgenommen hat, welche Inhalte, Themen nachwirken, was besch?ftigt hat. Vielleicht auch weg vom Verstand hin in den K?rper zu führen - physisch (spüren), emotional (fühlen). Welche kleinen Schritte gegangen wurden. Was beobachtbar wurde, etc....

As an executive coach, I prioritize gathering feedback at key points during both individual and group coaching journeys. After intense sessions, I check in informally to understand my coachee's experience and preferences. Around the midpoint of our coaching, we conduct a structured feedback session to identify what's working effectively and what challenges the coachee(s). Before concluding the coaching relationship, we reflect on achievements and challenges and discuss the potential for continuing the coaching journey. Creating a safe and supportive environment from the start fosters honest feedback and enhances the coaching experience for everyone involved.

Capturing feedback in a consistent way will allow you to better understand the underlying trends. Even in asking for testimonials, send your coachee specific questions by which to provide a meaningful testimonial. Without a standard feedback form, you're bound to receive feedback in scattered ways. This will make it tough to make the feedback actionable.

Supervision halte ich für extrem wertig und wichtig. Sch?n w?hrend meiner Coaching-Ausbildungen war das Gründen von Buddy-Teams bzw. Supervisions-Team wichtiger Bestandteil, um eigene Unsicherheiten, Trigger, blind-spots, etc. ausfindig zu machen bzw. auch eigene Verhaltens- und Sprachmuster aufgedeckt zu bekommen und über Perspektiven der anderen zu lernen.

Supervision is essential for every executive coach, forming a core part of their professional ethos. It enriches coaching expertise and enhances self-awareness. Continuous improvement through supervision is vital for all coaches. Personally, I engage in both individual and multicultural group supervision sessions to develop my coaching skills and broaden my perspective.

Belonging to a community of coaches is highly inspiring because it allows you to share best practice while maintaining confidentiality. Hearing other perspectives allows you to zoom in and out, and so enrich your coaching practice.

Coaching can often feel lonely. This is especially true for someone who has transitioned from a corporate job into coaching. Take the parts of your corporate job that you really enjoyed and try to mimic them for your business. For example, if weekly scrums helped you with goal setting and accountability, be sure to create that with other coaches. The mindset is one of creation and collaboration. It's the only way to not feel like you're on an island by yourself. Lastly, if you think something will be beneficial, chances are that others will likely feel the same.

I just joined the coaching community called Business Coach Nederland. As all Business coaches are from different backgrounds and have different coaching specializations we have the ability to really learn from each other. To pro-actively seek constructive feedback and discuss your challenges in a trustworthy group, will help you grow as a coach and create more value for your coachees.

Join the coaching communities if you are open to learn, share and give back to your community. It's a two way street where you share and let your peers know your best practices so that the community's value is acknowledged in different sectors. I have seen coaches who wouldn't share but will be there just to soak other's knowledge. In this age of information, knowledge is the most abundant thing available out there. So, what will make the difference is the transparency and networking potential of coaches with each other. In short, Grow & Let Others Grow!

The most effective and I would say professional way is to consider working with supervisor. Those conversations will help you to reflect and at the same time to hear the feedback and improve. It will gradually impact your mastery level as well. To serve your clients in a more professional and genuine way you need to keep upgrading your skills and remove suspicious moments from your thoughts and practice.

Ich selbst arbeite gerne mit einer Kraft- und Potenzialanalyse Human Design. Darüber lassen sich auch wechselseitige Trigger bzw. elektromagnetische Verbindungen aufdecken. Sich selbst im Zusammenspiel mit seinem Coachee zu reflektieren, welche Projektionsfl?chen sich mitunter aufmachen bzw. wo die eigne Energie st?rkt bzw. eventuell auch schw?cht kann gute Unterstützung für die Zusammenarbeit sein.
