Paste a Screenshot of your result here and explain in minimum of 2 paragraph your thoughts on the result.

As a student, my performance in coaching skills is adequate; it is sufficient but needs more development.
Coaching requires skills and confidence, which can be developed through practice and experience. Perhaps, in
light of the outcome, it does require more time to listen to other members, improve motivating strategies, and
develop interpersonal skills.
By having the requisite resources, I need to discover some answers for myself. The most critical of these is
motivating the team, defining the objectives, and determining the most effective means of achieving them.

Task 2: Ask 5 Professionals (Faculty/Coach/Leader/Anyone who experienced being a leader) ask them to
differentiate Coaching from Managing and Training based on their understanding and experience in the
academe. Providing an example is necessary to further explain their definition of managing and training,
ACKNOWLEDGE each volunteer for their participation and provide feedback based on their definitions.
DEBRIEF each by discussing the difference of Coaching from Managing and Training. Provide your own
opinion for each example.
As a student leader, I also solicit input from teachers and young political leaders. To summarize, coaching can
be thought of as leadership, guiding the team toward a common goal. Managing is similar to supervising,
having the authority to implement or monitor, and shares the exact expectations and objectives as coaching.
Training is where you gain skills and insights from both that you will apply in real-world situations and within the
company. Three of them need careful time management, as it was critical. This allows you to balance your
time with your partner and your personal affairs. This is the best way to inspire your team through your
interactions, time management, and ability to build a solid friendship base.
In terms of my experience as a student leader, it has been extremely beneficial throughout my academic
career. It shaped my characteristics and views on life, boosted my self-esteem, and helped me develop into a
young man.

Task 3: Elaborate these quotes:

1. A good coach is self-aware.
From my perspective, a good coach can discern what he or she requires to instruct or guide others
while also educating himself or herself on what it takes to lead. Additionally, recognizing which areas
need improvement or growth.

2. A good coach brings specific and well-defined issues to the attention of others.

Being specific and direct in problem areas generates appropriate solutions and substantive changes
that pave the way for resolving those issues. It is a vital characteristic of successful leaders.
3. A good coach treats individuals as partners in the organization, encouraging their input and trusting
them to carry out assignments.

As I stated in previous quotes, they must also treat the individual they are coaching as though
they were their own family, although not as near, but close enough for your goals to become
entwined.

4. A good coach knows the strengths and weaknesses of his or her employees.
As with any successful coach, they must understand how to deal with an individual's strengths and
weaknesses to get the best out of them and build a strong partnership both collectively and
individually.
5. A good coach makes expectations clear at the beginning of the coaching session.

Like a good coach, you must communicate clearly, especially regarding your goals and
expectations. Giving the person, you're coaching the inspiration he or she requires to achieve
that goal.

6. A good coach allows enough time to adequately discuss issues and concerns.
 It demonstrates appreciation for members by allowing them to engage thoughtfully in
discussions about organizational problems and concerns. It makes them explicit and actionable
by emphasizing achievement and progress by creating constructive, approach-focused goals.

7. A good coach listens to others and tries to understand their points of view.
A coach listens to others and attempts to consider their perspectives; this means that they are trying
to put themselves in the shoes of others, which makes you, the coach, a more empathetic one.
8. A good coach expresses encouragement and optimism when both easy and difficult issues are
discussed.
They are promoting a good attitude in their relationships to retain the same customers. By assisting
clients with a development mentality, they may increase their drive to strengthen and expand their
skills. When clients are committed to learning and their enthusiasm and determination guide their
efforts, they are better equipped to navigate roadblocks.
9. A good coach offers support and assistance to those he or she is coaching to help them implement
change and achieve desired goals.
A good coach share his/her knowledge for those who needs to learn and improve their skills. There's
always a way for improvement.

As a mentor, you consider them to be teammates, which means you would do everything possible to
help and assist them in achieving their goal.

10. When solutions do not turn out as expected, a good coach proactively helps to define alternative
actions.
A good coach must always have a backup plan; if an employee fails to follow the procedure, the
coach must have a backup plan; if the backup plan does not work, the coach must develop a
new one. For a better strategy, you'll have a better result and increased chances of success
based on the lessons learned from the previous plan.
