"I try very hard to stick to the model we learned. I believe that otherwise it will not be possible to achieve desired results" "I work with stories, with cards with questionnaires and I also use everything we learned" "I think it is important that a student learn how to define goals and I really work with them until they succeed in doing so" "Success means overcoming some barrier that a student has - first it is important to acknowledge that there is a barrier and to understand and believe he or she has tools to deal with it and it is very important for me that they understand it and succeed"
Emotional Aspects
Towards the Process Towards students
Student Success Students' Motivation
"I come to each coaching session with an open mind and flexible approach and in each session, my challenge to learn how to dance as if it is my first time.""I really like the process, I have really enjoyed it for almost five years" “I think that an important aspect of coaching is its contribution to a student. As I see it, it is important and rather moving when a student sees himself or herself as succeeding and making progress afterwards is important”Whereas in another case:“There are those who had come to us in a real state of survival and it really hurts me to see them like that" "Sometimes I have questions about students' motivation. Perhaps they feel that they are being judged according to whether they participate in coaching or not. In coaching, I often realize that it is hard to motivate them to make changes in their life. A lot of time passes before they understand the importance of the process and I find this difficult"
Awareness and Personal Well-being
Personal Well-being (Self) Improve Teaching and Mentoring

"I believe I went through a change during the course, sometimes I see myself through a different prism"I am still not fully satisfied and cannot say to myself, 'great, I'm good'. I still don't feel that I have reached the goal, but I feel that I am changing" "I learned so much about myself, coaching contributed to my personal life, to my wellbeing, to setting goals for myself, acknowledge my strengths and construct a program for the future " "I feel suddenly that I acquired the ability to listen to students' stories and understand them without judging." "The coaching process contributed to my understanding of group dynamics, helps me as a coach, and I became a mentor and a guide. Dialogue with students in class has improved."
Expectations for the Future
Expectations for Self Expectations for Coachees Giving Coaching to all Lecturers
"I think the course was excellent. I miss it continuing. I miss going up a level, another course level""I wanted more training to deepen my training, to have refresher meetings to remind us of the material" "In the next semester, there should be a meeting once a month or every two months, before any significant stage""Even after students have gone through the coaching process they come in the following semester to consult and continue their practice. It shows that the understand the importance of the coaching process for them and it is important that they have an address to turn to" "I think that such a course contributes to everyone, to lecturers in particular, coaches or not, as they are more tolerant, more attentive""In my opinion, it is important that every lecturer at the college participate in the course even if they do not want to serve as coaches, because I think it helps them understand students and ourselves better improves our behavior"
