I have articulated and refined my personal and professional boundaries, to maintain my enthusiasm and energy levels and have been supporting colleagues and students to do the same since participating in coaching; I have scheduled (and stuck to) regular reflection time at the close of the normal working week to keep current progress and forward planning clearly in sight; I have developed a strong sense of security around keeping my working role congruent with my personal motivation and values, that can act inform my decision-making framework.
I would highly recommend the coaching experience. I have found it a useful mechanism for gaining clarity around priorities and objectives, targeting my efforts and energies in a more focussed manner. As noted above, this opens avenues to support people I work with in doing the same thing. In appraising my own skills and interests during the process, I have realised how much I value taking a holistic view of my working environment, contributing, and helping others contribute, to School and Institutional growth at a strategic level. With this in mind, I have taken up a role as a representative on the senate, one of our governing bodies.
