Coaching Session

Section 1
o Moore (2016) discusses in Chapter 11 how to begin conducting a coaching
session towards helping others. Under the section Stages of Change and Effective
Coaching Skills for Each several examples of the change one is coaching towards
are represented.

Prochaska and colleagues (1994) taught that the stages through which people
move are predictable and identifiable. They begin with the precontemplation stage
during which they are not yet thinking about making change, all the way through
to the maintenance stage where changes have been adopted as a way of life and
are stable. The characteristics people exhibit at each stage are distinct and
recognizable. The five stages of change are:
Precontemplation (not ready for change)
Contemplation (thinking about change)
Preparation (preparing for action)
Action (taking action)
Maintenance (maintaining a positive behavior)

o With your team mate in class you will read through the Coaching Case with
Coach Carl and Wendy Well. This is a RECORDED Zoom session. Again, this is
practice. Each person must record their own Zoom session when they are reading
as Coach Carl. That Zoom session link must be included in the assignment. Place
the Zoom link at the top of your assignment on page two, prior to starting your
response to Section 2.

Section 2
o Now its your chance to practice holding a coaching session with a co-worker.
First, read through Chapter 11 (Moore) to understand how to conduct a coaching
session. Your practice with your team mate should have prepared you and
provided you ideas of how a session should flow. Second, meet with the co-
worker to determine a time and a place to conduct your coaching session with him
or her. You also want to ask your co-worker ahead of time about something in his
or her life they have resisted to change. Third, conduct the coaching session. This
week you have worked through the Coaching Case in Chapter 11 with your team
mate, read through Chapter 11 (Moore) and the five stages of change, and have
addressed multiple role play scenarios. You are now able to continue your
practice in coaching and helping others. Forth, conduct a 20-minute coaching
session with your co-worker, attempting to help him or her with the change they
are seeking. TAKE NOTES DURING THE SESSION.
o Write a 2-3 page debrief about what you experienced and witnessed in your
coaching session. Discuss what you observed and how each level of the Five
Stages of Change was addressed. Answer the following:
As the coach discuss what was the change issue the co-worker was
seeking?
Discuss the session. What emotions were shown? How did the co-work
resist change?
In what ways did you express concern, support, and empathy?
Discuss the Five Stages of Change and how you moved your co-work
through each stage.
What goals did the co-worker established (provide details of SMART)?
Provide a debrief on what you learned the most about coach.
Provide a debrief on what was a greatest challenge and something you
would like to get better at.
o Requirements: Each paper submitted in this course must have a title page and a
reference page. You must include the Zoom link at the end of the written page
(prior to the reference page). Proper APA 7th Edition must be followed. If you
