Introduction In this paper I will create a “Live Case” by experiencing the process of coaching. I will be working with my coachee to choose a problem to work on or a behavior that my coachee would like to change. I will plan and carry out a coaching session that involves stages G and R of the GROW model. I will detail the pre coaching plan, facts of the coaching session, successes and challenges of the coaching session, what I learned and areas of improvement. Therefore, I will create a pre-plan, take action and then reflect on what happened in the coaching session.

It will also show the coachee that I can concerned with what they are going through.

Therefore, I should have introduced myself to the coachee on a personal level. By this I mean tell them a little about myself. Also, telling the coachee how long I have been a coach and my experiences being a coach. This would make the coachee comfortable enough to open up to me. It could even allow coachee to accept feedback rather it was positive or negative.
