Written by: HEMALATHA BALA SUBRAMANIAM (Athena) My Background: The Coaching journey for me from CAC to CPC has been a deeply reflective one; from a casual role to a professional role and the progress in this journey has been most impactful. I had been an Executive Trainer for the past 37 years, and mentoring was a big part of my modus operandi. When I learnt about ICF’s 11 core coaching competencies in CAC, I realised that these could not operate in isolation. As I went on the Seven Protocol journey in CPC, I gained new learnings of how these 11 ICF competencies worked in tandem; as they were “stack skills”- most effective in combination and complementary to each other. I had to embrace many roles simultaneously, mainly as an active listener, conversationalist, cheerleader, strategic thinker and co-designer of action plans. Ultimately, I understood that the mundane life of being a trainer was womb to tomb – linear, sequential and directive; whereas being a coach raised my awareness to one of transforming lives – cycles of liberation towards validating and actualising the potential of both the coach and the client. The Client’s Background: The client was a peer coach who was a teacher for 36 years. Recently, she joined the Headquarters as an Advisor in training , designing and editing modules. She is in the midst of planning for a post-retirement career as an Online Tutor in English Literature, Mathematics and Academic Writing. Objectives of this Case Study: In my journey to become a professional coach via Peer Coaching and Mentor Coaching, I learnt how to navigate coaching conversations using the 7- part Protocol and resources. This Case Study documents my coaching journey. The objectives of this Case Study are stated as below: Toidentify the key successes and challenges I faced as a ...
