Setting up the sessions

Please endeavour to answer the following questions - via the comment link - before this Thursday's initial Zoom meeting:

1. How and when will you set up two or three 60-minute practice coaching sessions in the online room. 
2. When do you wish to take the role of - (a): Coach and (b): Coachee - so you have plenty of time to prepare.
3. If there are group of three - the third member to observe and provide feedback –or you can simply agree that each of you attends only two of the three sessions.
4. The person who is the coach needs to prepare a 30-minute coaching session including approach/model, types of question and reflection tools or frameworks for after the session. 
5. The person who is taking the coachee role will prepare a workplace problem or issue to discuss at the session and should set this out in the TGF in advance.
6. Make sure you have thought about welfare and contracting (look back at Box 6.1: Welfare and contracting), and plan how you are going to carry out contracting. 
7. Make sure confidentiality is discussed and agreed in the contracting process. Also, are there any other ethical issues you want to discuss and come to agreement about? 
8. You might, for example, want to agree that you will all commit to working together constructively and supportively, and/or that you will all attend punctually and be fully prepared.
9. Finally, think about how you will ensure that you incorporate reflection in your role as coach and coachee during this practice.
