Srikanthan : What's the most important for you to take away from this session .
Meenakshi kar : Trying to play the ' rescuer ' role. This is close to my VALUES, which clash with ICF values and core competencies.
My core values are pulling me away from coaching processes and competences.
Only some people stay a coach . How can I stay a coach ?
SK : I noticed you the stress when you said ' I want to stay a coach . That's clashing with ICF demands. Your core values.
Meenakshi Kar ; I am thinking like a mentor but asking questions of a coach. I feel I am not authentic.
Sreekanthan : where are we right now , in this coaching conversation , vis a vis your goals ?
Meenakshi Kar : My own presence as a coach is compromised. There is a constant battle going on . My core values with ICF core competences. How do I overcome it ?
SK : For you to move in the direction you want , what do you feel is the direction we need to focus on ?
Meenakshi Kar : I have to forego my desire to RUSH into the solution . I will still remain compassionate. I am empowering and helping them in some way . I don't feel inauthentic as a coach .
What do I need to tell myself, to prevent myself from RUSHING into the solution . I feel I am in more of a rush than they are, to find a solution.
SK : What VALUES are playing here ?
MK ; Time is running out. I feel the need for instant fix. The rush in me to get through with this , this has been the pattern in so many areas of my life. Let's quickly get through with this !!
SK : what do you feel about the WAY we are having this conversation ?
MK : Making me think more, and some more , about the problem I have brought with me here. I am thinking HARDER now .
SK : Don't you think you have made some progress you have made so far .
MK ; I don't think I give sufficient time to evolve. I am always in solution mode. In constant battle. More than my core values, it's my daily battle and my belief that there isn't much time to focus on a problem.
SK : Want to do the right thing is one belief. I don't have much time , is another belief.
SK: What' been key learnings from this conversation so far ?
MK : Allowing myself some more time, and allowing my clients some more time, will allow me to have a coaching conversation .
SK :
MK : I have to tell myself, a solution doesn't have to arrive in the 30 mins for 45 mins of my session. I have to really define expectation for myself and for my client. That will ease some pressure off myself, from my chests. I don't have to solutionise myself.
SK : How are you going to make your accountable for yourself ?
MK : When my clients book time with me, they use an app.
SK : what could support you in this ?
MK : i AM going to tell myself that I have to find solution for the client , before the end of the session .
SK : What is one thing you want to tell yourself before end .
MK : Time is on your slide. Meenkashi.
SK : Coaching is not the panacea to all clients problems. Soemtimes, mentoring is the solution for them .
