Professional Coaching Service

What is coaching? 

Coaching is a developmental approach to working and interacting with other people. It can strengthen their ability to use a range of influencing and leadership styles. Coaching can help people feel more empowered to make a difference and improve their own effectiveness.

In coaching, fundamentally, the coach is helping the individual to in other words,

  • learn more about themselves,
  • find out how they are perceived by others,
  • and improve on areas of their personalities that they are not satisfied with.
  • improve their own performance.
  • helping them to learn.
Further, coaching takes learning to a level beyond remembering and understanding. Put simply, coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focuses on the 'here and now' rather than on the distant past or future.

Coaching Certification Program by Protege Advisory [Finale]

my princess was talking to me on the way home after fetching me from my physio appointment. she was talking, or more of expressing her thoughts of what to do or on what to decide for her next music instruments adventure. after all the options or thoughts that she 'luahkan', i asked her all the questions using the method that i learnt during the above course. the idea is, to understand what she actually wanna do and interest her. as soon as she started to drop all the ideas/questions to herself, i managed to compile all those questions to make her aware of what she is really interested in and what she wants to do next. aku dah tersengih dalam hati. bezanya, tak ada lah aku buat intro macam coaching session and ending with the proper agreement which kalau in a real coaching session, semua tu kena guna pakai.

tujuan utama aku menuntut ilmu coaching memang ini pun - supaya aku dapat rapatkan hubungan aku dengan anak2. supaya aku dapat lebih memahami apa yang they have gone through and are going through as a result of growing up in a broken family. going back to my previous posting about this course, "change your life - if you want to be your best, this is for you" alhamdulillah, aku dah achieve my objective.

kalau korang nak tahu lebih lanjut in terms of technicality of the course, aku akan share apa yang rakan2 aku tulis about this course. i will share the links at the end of this posting. cara kitorang share berbeza, dah orang pun berbeza, kan 😋 so yeah, aku suka bercerita cara aku. aku akan kaitkan dengan how this course helped me a lot in our relationship - me and my children.

the recent conversation pulak was with my prince. well, for the past few days, my prince has been staying at home with me. hati aku lebih tenang bila he is with me after an incident that happened last saturday. [not gonna talk about that now]. we use the times that we have now together to talk about lots of things. perkara2 yang tak settle dalam hidup anak aku yang selama ni dia pendam. using the techniques that i learnt during the course has actually helped him to come to a, sort of decision on what he has to do next. mesti korang macam tak puas hati kan baca sebab korang nak tau apa decision tu. but this is coaching la. kena ada trust between coach & coachee, yang mana, apa yang di bincangkan adalah rahsia. so yeah, alhamdulillah, i am a happy mom. i am a happy person. although sekarang aku masih belum ada peluang untuk betul2 ada proper coaching session, aku happy sebab i am an improved person  than i used to be in terms of communicating with my children. and bila joey cakap...

"yeah i feel comfortable talking to you"

i have 3 coaches, coach ija, coach ina and last but not least coach kak hajar to be thankful to, who passed to us all their knowledge about coaching. 💗💗💗

one of the highlights of the final part of the course was on the presentation of Habit 3 from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. all of us got the chance to choose our topic. and i chose the one that is related to what/where i am at that point of time. hahaha 😁 nak gelak dulu boleh tak?? no, i am not a procrastinator. 😋 so my presentation was about Put First Things First. korang boleh google sendiri lah explanation dia. but yang bestnya with all of us kena present, we finished the whole book in about a few hours in class. aku nak baca the whole book, sampai buku aku dah berkulat kut.. 

~~ iklan pulak - joey needed me ~~

ok sambung balik.. bila time assessment most of us nervous, mula2 aku rasa chill je.. tapi dah dekat time aku tu cuak jugak. mana la tau kan kut tetiba dah semua yang patut aku ingat or tanya tak terkeluar dari mulut aku. but it was fun la being with the group. macam2 kerenah boleh aku perhati kan. dah lama kut tak keluar belajar sama2. 

at the end of the day, before aku masuk bilik assessment tu, my goal is to help my coachee to get ideas out of her mind which, i did helped her.. yey! 😁 ok la, masa tu memang la aku harap sangat coach kak hajar yang masuk bilik assessment dengan aku coz ada la rasa macam kuat sikit. but then aku fikir balik, nanti in the future takkan aku nak heret kak hajar to my coaching session kan?  😋 apa2 pun aku kena kuat and buat menda ni sendiri. kena ada kepercayaan pada diri sendiri - which i did well. alhamdulillah. and i was so glad that coach kak hajar was with me during the assessment. 

ayat yang aku selalu akan ingat from coach ina, "you do you, you be yourself while coaching others" or something like that lah ayat dia. and yes, ayat tu insyaallah akan terpahat dalam kepala otak aku yang aim aku is whenever someone come for coaching session with me, he/she will feel at ease & selesa bercakap dengan aku. 

i am so happy and grateful sebab i get to know new people. and which during that time memang all of us were being open to each other. memang sessi air mata jugak lah. but yeahh.. good memories, good experience. and from this class jugak, memang ternyata setiap individu ada kisah hidup diorang tersendiri yang kadang kala they wanna keep it to themselves and be strong or seemed strong on the outside for others to see. sebab itu la jugak, kita jangan jadi judgemental kat orang lain. 

aku dah buntu tak tau nak tulis apa sebab sebenarnya sekarang ni aku not in the right state of mind, but assignment kena habiskan. **sigh** so glad AH is with me right now.. these days.. 

so korang, these are the 2 links that i got being shared by the new certified coaches 😀

at the end of the session before we say goodbye, all of us were given the opportunity to touch the ACC badge which will be our next step, insyaallah and visualize our future to be in 2023. so below was what i visualize for myself in both line that i want to expand in. helping people in getting back their health & to find themselves for their own development.

 

semoga impian menjadi kenyataan... ameen... #jangankecamsaya

Coaching Certification Program by Protege Advisory


when i was working in the corporate world, i always see myself as a trainer or motivator or a speaker. i imagine myself doing that when i retire. however, i am a person who feels the need to be properly certified to do something new. just like when i took my group fitness instructor certificate, my zumba instructor license, and certificate to be a weight management consultant. 🤔 bila dah listkan macam ni banyak jugak aku collect certificate 😂 oh not to forget my lean six sigma green belt certificate ok 😊 i was still thinking and contemplating, and in my thoughts this could be the best time since i am not working for an employer at the moment and the classes were divided into 3 parts [not forgetting the payment too 😋] i must say that i am also attracted to all the listed takeaways in the flyer, and these words 👇
change your life
if you want to be your best, this is for you

even before i start to attend the classes, i know i am going to benefit from it - i will enjoy myself and be a better, transformed person for myself, and my family. only after the 1st part of the course, i noticed that i started to be a better listener, active listener and to be present in 90% of the conversation that i am in. the downside of it is that, whenever i have conversation with someone who doesn't listen and not being present, i will have this small voice in me saying "this person needs to learn about listening and be present!!"
not in the slightest idea ever came into my mind that i want to stop half way. all i know is that i am so looking forward for the next class. as i am writing this, i have another 2 more classes before the assessment for me to become a certified coach by ICF. epp.. tak boleh highlight lagi sebab belum achieve. 😜

after the 2nd part of the course i have also improved my way of 'coaching' by asking powerful questions and improve my active listening skills. and owhh i believe the flow is smoother and better structured? it is tiring and balik memang migraine lah kan. 😂 but it is all worth it. i have also started to visualize people whom i can help to coach in the future, insyaallah. the best thing that has started now is that i learn to listen to my princess better and be present in our conversation even if at times i can feel that she is not. 😋

anyway, there are too many interesting things to write about the sessions but time is running short. i will write more insyallah but what i can say is that, course ni memang best!

the funny part is when AH is around, and we start talking, suddenly... ehh... why am i asking questions? dah macam coaching session dah ni. 😄 and korang yang baca posting ni mesti geram kan, sebab macam tergantung je -- sebenarnya si mischa ni dah merayu2 nak masuk bilik, sebab dia kena tidur luar for biting and scratching my hand tonight!
