June 2008 Archives

We are very sorry to inform you that the Jul IAC HK Chapter Meeting should be on Jul 8 (as usual on the second Tuesday of each month).  Jul 15 was the typo.  We sincerely apologise for the mistake and may have confused your schedule.  Sorry again.

Coaching has been appreciated for its effectiveness in corporation performance and culture building in Hong Kong.  Moreover, Coaching is also becoming one the eye-catching or trendy learnings for elites in China in value-adding to their career.  Thus, there is a concern of what is "Correct Coaching" as mentioned by Donna in her article on "Everything to become a successful coach." 

I found in fact the fundamental coaching phiolosophy is very straight forward.  However, there are many different way of expression through different coaching models used by different coaching schools or coaches.  They all works well lively only through a masterful coach who has high integraty and professional ethics.

Coaching is not only a skill, it is a phiolosophy of life and work application.  Coaching relationship involves an interactive relationship development.  Once Coach Katherine said, "Coaching is a form of mature and professional loving towards the client and seeing he/she to be successful in his/her live."

I, therefore, would like to use the next chapter meeting for discussing case study on code of ethics for coaches and why it is important as an essential element to be a successful masterful coach.

Come and join us.  It is not a boring topic but something essential.

We simulate being a masterful coach is very similar to a masterful Tai Jei guru.  When a guru plays Tai jei, he does not need to count each step according to the text book, he plays as the flow is in which he integrates all the technique and subtle movements skillfully and mindfully in that particular unique moment. 

Bonnie encourages members to drill each mastery one by one.  Moreoever, it is also important to drill few masteries together to seeing how they enhance the empowerment for the client.

In the Jun chapter meeting, we have put M3, M4 and M5 together for an overview.  We have discovered that if we fully engaged in a high level of listening, we are in presence.  If we are in presence, our expression will be honest, authertic and best for the client's self-discovery and self-awareness. 

Therefore, grounding ourself before any coaching session is important for both the coach and the client.

We practised grounding together and we found that there are three level of ground:

Level 1 - we relax our BODY

Level 2 - we clear our MIND

Level 3 - we calm our SOUL

Which level of presence are you in now? 

Most people knows how to do the level 1 grounding.  Do you have any idea on how to step up to level 2 and 3?  One coach said, "Masterful coaching requires a life time to learn and practise."
