In January I officially started my coach training in order to become an accredited coach, an ICF Associate Certified Coach, via Katie Linder\u2019s Higher Ed Coach Training<\/a>. Having completed the first part of the course, I am about to start the next one, which will focus on coaching fundamentals in a deeper way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notebook pictured above is my celebration, a gift to myself for taking this next step along the path to getting formally credentialed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coach training includes formal assessment, and it’s been a while since I last had to write an assessed essay or undertake an exam! I found the experience really positive however, and appreciated that we had a number of assessment options to choose from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the options I didn’t pick was to develop new coaching tools, and whilst I didn’t do it for the assessment, it has inspired me to start designing some new tools to try out and share with my fellow coaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s most rewarding for me about coach training is working with clients. I really enjoy working together to reflect, set new goals and find out what the next step might be. Some of the tools I have been working with include writing a personal mission or vision statement (in one sentence), which is harder than it sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried it out for myself, and it prompted interesting reflections for me. If you’d like to have a go yourself, start with your goal and values and try to express these in one sentence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
