11. Focused Practice

Preparation Overview

  • Content Review
    • Catch up or consider revisiting content from previous sessions.
  • Continue to Record MCC Oriented Coaching Sessions
    • Intentionally practice areas of growth
    • Briefly review portions of recordings to self-assess:
      • Transformational Agenda Setting
      • Spaciousness (Ideally majority +4 seconds of space as a default for MCC submission consideration)
      • Early use of 4/5 and 5/5 client language
      • Other areas you are intentionally working on.
    • The goal is not to fully self assess every recording you complete, but rather seek out those areas that need development and briefly assess any improvements that might be present.
    • Sessions which are closer to MCC level performance should be considered for final mentor coaching sessions.
  • Daily Coaching Record
    • Coaches should continue reflecting on roughly 4 coaching sessions each week taking note of their learnings using a journal/record similar to the one attached below.
    • Consider what patterns and persistent challenges you may find and be ready to discuss these learnings in the main session.
    • Time to Complete: 20-30 minutes per week

Class Overview

  • Recordings and Self-Assessment Reflection: 15 min
