Final Coaching Reflection

Final Coaching Reflection

In this final coaching call with Andrew we talked mostly about his culminating project and how it fits in to his overall work.   While Andrew felt that some of the vocabulary would be lost to him overtime, the ideas would stay.  When I asked Andrew about the workshop he conducted, he explained to me that it went very well.  Though it had it’s limitations, mainly since it was only a 2 hour session, he found ways to navigate through it.  Instead of explaining every little detail to his group, he acquainted them with key elements that they could understand, such as conversation flow.  I thought this was very smart move on Andrew’s part, it ensured that he did not lose his audience.  Surely he couldn’t expect them to understand weeks worth of theory in a short 2 hour workshop.

Moving forward Andrew seemed to have a good perspective on how this theory would fit into his life. From what he told me I could tell that he would carry a sense of enlightened awareness as a result of the class.  However he also expressed to me how the theory could be limiting of one chose to treat it as gospel.  This is an important point.  I explained to Andrew, just like a philosopher, teacher or musician, one must take elements of many styles and integrate them into a style that is their own.  This is how we establish a true sense of self.
