This is a gift to the coachee. The coachee has been moved from a reflective state to a reflexive state by the neurochemical processes operating in the limbic system. http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/journey.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj3-8-2010.htm The Cognitive Coaching(SM) tool that begins the Problem-Resolving Map is called the Pace, and it consists of 4 steps: naming the coachee's emotion (empathy), summarizing the content of the coachee's concerns (content--coachee signs off), reflecting a desired state of the coachee (goal), and signaling a transition to the internal resources of the coachee (pathway). http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj3-1-2010.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj3-1-2010.htm This month we are exploring the work of Ford and Ford and four conversations they suggest as means for achieving results. This week's conversation particularly links to the support functions of collaborating, consulting, and evaluation. http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj2-22-2010.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj2-22-2010.htm This month we are exploring the work of Ford and Ford and four conversations they suggest as means for achieving results.

Participants learn three coaching conversation maps—planning, reflecting, and problem-resolving—along with tools to navigate the maps. http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj2-1-2010.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj2-1-2010.htm Consciousness is a gateway into all States of Mind. It is a strong part of being self-directed as it gives us capacity to self-manage, self-monitor, and self-modify. http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj1-25-2010.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj1-25-2010.htm Louise provided feedback that the weekly reminders on inviting cognitive shift in the various States of Mind was especially useful to her and that she would like to see that extended. With that in mind, this week's "Sustaining the Journey" focuses on interdependence. http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj1-18-2010.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj1-18-2010.htm There is a rich body of research on working with students of poverty. While not attempting to synthesize that research here in these weekly coaching thoughts, it should be emphasized that the mission of Cognitive Coaching(SM) is aligned with those research findings, that is, promoting self-directedness through the mediation of thinking. http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj1-11-2010.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj1-11-2010.htm Thank you Louise, Guy, Catherine and Chris for your thoughtful comments and ideas for Sustaining the Journey. We will attempt to respond to your ideas in the next months. http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj1-4-2010.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj1-4-2010.htm Sustaining the Journey will return on January 4, 2010. Have a wonderful holiday break. http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj12-21-2009.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj12-21-2009.htm Last week we introduced you to the concept of the States of Mind as energy sources in groups. We have developed a survey that groups can use to assess their own Energy Sources. There are 12 questions for each of the Energy Sources: efficacy, flexibility, consciousness, craftsmanship, and interdependence. http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj12-14-2009.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj12-14-2009.htm If you have applied coaching behaviors in a group setting, you are probably aware of the complexity of attending to several individuals' States of Mind simultaneously. Have you considered the group as a whole also has States of Mind? http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj12-7-2009.htm http://www.cognitivecoaching.com/stj/stj12-7-2009.htm
