Coaching for Planning
When feelings get in the way of planning help increase flexibility. First,
honor feelings & then be a guide through an investigation of options.
A participant might say:
I feel overwhelmed
when I get to school
everyday. There’s so
much to do; sometimes
I avoid all my planning &
talk to my coworkers
instead.
A coach could start with:
You recognize mornings are not
the most productive time for
planning & you prefer connecting
with colleagues at that time.
And then offer:
What options might you have for
planning that could help mornings
feel less overwhelming?
