ABSTRACT
This chapter lays the groundwork for developing and applying your own coaching model. First, it provides practical strategies for exploring your views about coaching. Then, it includes 16 reflective activities to help you identify perspectives, skills, knowledge, and experience that you can incorporate into your model. The strategies and activities presented in this chapter enable you to identify and select your model components; then you can organize them, either visually or verbally. As a result, you will have a personalized tool for reflecting on the essential elements of your coaching process and practice, and on your own effectiveness as a coach.
