Somatic Coaching - Going 'beyond' Surface and Deep Learning - Using See, Do and Teach 'extended' process

Poh-Sun Goh, 8 June 2022, Wednesday, 0336am, Singapore Time

Roles and Responsibilities of a (Medical) Educator from Poh-Sun Goh

Go 'beyond' Surface and Deep Learning - Using See, Do and Teach 'extended' process

From See, Do and Teach; to See (become Aware, and Explore), Do (Sample, Try[out], Experiment [and 'Play with], Practice [with reflection and feedback, including Deliberate Practice], (then) Teach (explain, elaborate, present) and then go beyond Teaching (extend Teaching and Practice, explore underlying ideas, improve and innovate) through Open Scholarship (including Micro-Scholarship)

https://medicaleducationelearning.blogspot.com/2022/06/going-beyond-surface-and-deep-learning.html

Start with what you 'see' and 'observe' - as a coach (in coachee or client; and in myself as coach), or coachee (in yourself as client) - become aware of 'how' you are 'holding your body' (your posture, your body 'shape', how you 'show up'), your (four) disposition(s) - grounded, resolute, flexible, open, and combinations of these; your breathing; how you move in the world - essentially how you 'show up' and 'your body shape' and 'body language' - which then affects and allows (makes it easier) to communicate congruent emotional and verbal (speech) messages to the world, which has direct impact and effect on what the world 'sees' and 'feels' about you, and your message(s).

https://pohsungoh.blogspot.com/2022/06/reflection-on-extent-of-surface-area.html

After becoming aware of, and observing; then Do (try out, experiment, and play with different body shapes, and body dispositions). Practice with reflection and feedback.

Why Is The Body Relevant to Coaching - Chris Balsley (YouTube)

Everyday Leadership Episode 8: Leadership Energy with Chris Balsley (YouTube)

Take this to the next level by explaining and describing what you are noticing, and feeling. Including with your coach.

Take notes, and make notes. Go deeper into 'why' you are somatically showing up day to day in a particular way. Your past. Settings, situations, environments, interactions (with others). Your history. How this has served you. Wins and losses. What has worked, and what has not. What this informs you of your values, drives. Then intentionally shape, and design your future. With awareness, observation and insight.

Share and Teach others. Write and engage in open Scholarship. Go deeper into the science and practice of somatic coaching.
