Now it’s 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.
