Super-charge your coaching capability through reflective journalling.
A beginner learns the theory.
A practitioner puts theory into effect.
An expert regularly reflects upon their performance.
Journalling is more than just logging events from a coaching (or mentoring or teaching or whatever) session; as well as recording what happened, we analyse and interpret events in order to make sense of them. This helps us challenge our thinking and, in turn, learn from our actions and develop our practice.
In short, journalling is a method of helping us improve.
