received have caused me to want to dive deeper into finding effective ways to delegate. In addition to that, I have also searched additional behaviors to enhance managing and organizing teams. An area of enhancement for the Coach that came out of the sessions would be, as she also alluded to better time management of the appointments. Overall the client sessions went well, and I received practical feedback.
Observer Appointment Summation
The role of the observer in the coaching triad was significant. This person provided an insight into how one really interacted with each role versus how we believed we came across to the other person. As the Observer, I participated in two formal sessions in which I observed the coach and the client on 05/28/18 and 05/31/18. I prepared for this role by making sure I listened actively and attentively during the sessions. I realized as the observer others really view themselves differently than others do, which prompts them to explain or defend their position or statement(s).
Session 1
Observer session one took place by phone on May 28th at 2 pm. The purpose of this session was to listen to the dialogue, take notes of the coaching – client discussion, and provide feedback to the coach from

She was able to establish trust and intimacy with the client by exhibiting an authentic concern for her well-being and development. A significant strength of the coach in this session was the ability to ask powerful questions that were probing and open-ended. She was able to fully clarify and provide applicable solutions to refine the Personal Mastery skill that the client wanted to further develop. This highlighted the coaches ability to manage progress and accountability by focusing the discussion on what was important to and for the client. Additionally, the Coach was able to create an awareness assisting the client to realize she can use modelling and personal mastery in her new role as
This method is grounded in the strengths perspective, a perspective in which the worker center’s their sessions around the clients’ abilities, gifts, and strengths (Shulman, 2016). Instead of focusing on what is wrong with the client, the worker highlights what is right with the client building on their strengths instead of emphasizing their deficits: the client already has what they need to get better or solve their problem (Corcoran, 2008). The role of the worker in this model is to help the client recognize their potential, recognize what resources they already have, and discuss what is going well for the client and what they have been able to accomplish already (Shulman, 2016). Techniques commonly used in this model, although they are not exclusive to this model, include an emphasis on pre- and between-session change, exception questions, the miracle question, scaling questions, and coping questions (Shulman, 2016). These questions are used for many reasons: for example, the miracle question is used because “sometimes asking clients to envision a brighter future may help them be clearer on what they want or to see a path to problem-solving.” (Corcoran, 2008, p. 434) while coping questions are used to allow the client to see what they are already accomplishing, rather than what they are transgressing (Corcoran, 2008).

Olivia as the client, was feeling overwhelmed due to having responsibilities in many separate aspects of her life. Including but not limited to her school, family, friends and new fitness goals. As the counsellor I aimed to help the client come up with a strategy that would not only incorporate all of her responsibilities but allow time to take for herself as well. Doing so, will greatly reduce Olivia’s stress. In order to implement a plan I used multiple techniques to acquire information and insight about the client, as well as her present situation. Throughout the phases of counselling I used the problem solving process, this will help the client manage and save her time. I also exhibited exploring and probing to gain insight about client. Various types of questions were also used including, open-ended questions, close-ended questions and coping questions. I also used the technique of empowering the client to make a change. I accomplished this by highlighting the client’s resources she already obtains. Completing this assignment allowed me to analyze my strengths, along with also allowing me to see the areas that need improvement including leading and advice giving. Overall this assignment allowed me to critically analyze my clinical practice and how far I have come since first beginning at Georgian
Evaluate whether my work with a specific client was successful by asking the question did the individual reach personal goals they set for themselves? Were the individual expectations of the group met? Did the treatment or educational group achieve its purpose? Moreover determine if the intervention goals were achieved, and how satisfied the individual was with the overall training or certain aspects of the assertiveness training group. While working in a micro setting the facilitators' will help the individual asses step by step personal goals to execute, to assist in achieving their ultimate goal of becoming more assertive.

Carl Rogers and Gloria 's session was a learning lesson and evidence that the developments in life overtime can have a direct impact on how we evolve as human beings. Various aspects, topics and behaviors that were viewed in this clip reminded me of scenarios that I see on a weekly basis. I myself have struggled with the fear of making the "wrong" decisions, I have seen relationships go astray due to inadequate trust, honesty, and transparency, and I have witnessed immature disagreements turn into full blown arguments and rage simply due to the absence of active listening and the list can go on. This session enabled the viewers the opportunity to see themselves from the client 's perspective which would involve seeing things through her eyes and trying to understand why she feels the way she does based off of signs such as both verbal and non-verbal communication, her diction, body language,
The one skill that I used more of was empathy; I wanted the client to know that I understood her situation as well her feelings. At the end of our conversation, I summarized everything that we talked about, especially her want to open up to her parents and express herself to them. She mentioned that she wants them to fell empathy towards her, because the lack of parental empathy that she felt when she was younger, has even affected her in her adult life (Kilpatrick,2005).
“A coach is someone who is equipped to aid individuals or groups and organisations to maximise their performance in pursuit of their desired goals.” (Dexter et al, (2011) p.4)
After completing the group task of preparing a presentation on, transferring individual facilitation skills into a group work setting I will critically reflect upon my own participation. I will evaluate my self-awareness while working in the group, as well as those around me. The way that I personally dealt with any issues that arose within the group and how that affected the group dynamics. I will also briefly discuss the roles in which each member of the group took and how role allocation affected, the group dynamics and the working relationships. Finally I will evaluate my work having discussed it with my fellow group members.
I believe nearly all my skills require further development, but the skills I feel require the most attention and development is control of myself and how I listen to my client. My own values and assumptions I feel are hampering my development of skills. Ways I can improve on this is by doing my own research into different or opposing values and assumptions and finding their positives and finding the negatives within my own, to help find a more balanced practice. The way I listen could greatly improve as it took Lucy pointing out how she wanted and/or needed support from me, for me to make the session more productive. As I need to listen equally to answers of inaction and answers of action. And focus more on listening to Lucy and not problem solving, as I said during our session “you’re safety and [those] around you are safe … are the ultimate goal of our session’s”. (Harms, 2007; Ivey & Ivey, 2007; Trevithick, 2005). The analysing and planning of further development of my skills has given me hope within my current short-comings, and my future
These two teams push the intervention phase of the problem solving process which to me can be an asset. An area for improvement could be in the assessment phase. Identifying other resources in the community the client has access to would be helpful. Often times we find that clients have multiple case managers, social workers and doctors they are connected to and with that information that will allow the new worker a circle of support to help engage the client. It will also provide resources for the client and worker to develop from, and will prevent the overlap in services between the agencies in the city.
During this time, I gave the client enough time to talk about the problem without interrupting. This time gave me an opportunity to undertake reflective listening through active listening which ac...
I was able to witness how an actual therapy session would look. Observing the sessions allowed me to become more self-aware and determine what I should and should not physically be doing as a perspective counselor. The more knowledge I gained from the content and class, the more confident I became. Also, the more video sessions I recorded the more comfortable and confident I became. I greatly benefited from learning the different techniques and practices, then having the opportunity to apply what was learned. The hands on experience awarded me the chance to utilize the skills taught and critique myself. I gained an abundance of knowledge about confidentiality, attending skills, and self-awareness that I did not anticipate learning. I am now aware of what exact confidential matters should be presented to a client before beginning therapy. I am also more aware of cultural competence and my own biases. Lastly, I learned how to utilize proper attending behaviors such as visual eye contact, vocal qualities, verbal tracking, and body language during a therapy
The five stages in which the client feels safe and respected allows the worker and the client to mutually discover areas of strength and areas that need improvement. Also, opens the door to finding solutions. Both the client and the helper bring feelings, values, experiences, and attitudes. In addition, the client brings needs, problems, and expectations, as well as personal and environmental strengths. Client and the worker will bring the components of the problem-solving process. Each of these stages is to be designed for the client to reach the
In conclusion, the role-play interview helped me have a better view of my interview skills, including skills that I am able to apply appropriately and those that I have to keep practising. Through this session, I came to know that I am good at using questions to know more about my clients. However, I need to improve my listening skill in order to understand my clients’ points of view. This may also help me to respect their values after learning more about the situations. Therefore, I will be less led by my biases after understanding my clients’ perspectives. Hence, I believe that self-reflections help counsellors to be aware of their strengths and improve their counselling skills in order to help others.
Self-awareness and personal vision are the two components that I believe personal mastery is comprised of. First and foremost, one must be aware of themselves as a person. Self-awareness must be analyzed with sober judgement to in order to have a realistic view of one’s self. When exploring one’s self, it is important to note what strengths are present, as well as identifying room for improvement. Self-awareness is the foundation
