How do we balance from asking a really good question and not worrying about what to ask next?
In fact, there are two questions:
1. How to asking a really good question, and
2. How not to worrying about what to ask next?
Ask yourself below questions to find out more:
1. Everything should lie on focusing on the client. If you want to help your client with an appropriate (than good) question, how would you LISTEN?
2. What do you listen to and listen for?
3. Ask yourself, what do I worry about?
4. Why worries happen in a coaching session for a coach? And Why not?
5. What is the distinction between a worrying and worry free coach? What is the coaching being behind?
6. What does it mean by NEXT in a coaching session?
Make sure you write down your answers to the above questions for further self-review and self-coaching.
Then, review your answers with Masteries #1 #2 #3 #4 for as a second level of learning.

Who were/are Coach Bonnie's mentor coaches?
Through out my coaching learning and profession since 2001, I learn, I practice and I always hire mentor coach for myself. Why? This is how coaching helps me to excelling my potential and moving towards my goal(s) faster with success. Who were/are my mentor coaches?
1. Angela Spaxman (HK) : Before I decided to seriously stepping in to coaching learning and preparing for my future coaching profession, I hired Angela as my executive coach. Through my personal experience in receiving coaching, I understand what is coaching, why it is essential for corporate executives in both their personal and corporate development, how to coach and how to be coached, what are the tricky areas and etc.
2. Sarah Newton (UK) : After I learnt coaching, I need to pursue coaching in a more professional way by knowing how to design coaching material, structure coaching workshops and further build my coaching presence and being on top of the basic skill set. I hired Sarah as my mentor coach on my daily practicing and later on how to packaging coaching projects.
3. Steve Davis (USA) : In my practices, I do 1 on 1 coaching and group workshops. I, therefore, hired Steve to be my mentor coach in learning facilitation. Steve has put me on to another level of effective communication via writing and blogging.
4. Mike Cohen (USA) : I understand personal development is very important as a coach. Thus, coach is a life learner. I have chosen my unique area of interest in Eco-Psychology. Mike is my mentor professor in my Master degree study. He is currently still supervising my PhD degree study for the dissertation about Eco-Coaching.
5. Barbra Sunquist (Canada) : I was not satisfied myself as a professional coach, I want to provide masterful coaching services to my clients and keep on value-adding myself for excelling coaching in China. Barbra was my mentor coach in helping me to walk through the IAC Certification and drilling my 15 Proficiencies in to masterful level.
6. Catherine Miller (Canada) : My current mentor coaching buddy. We exchange mentor coaching to each other. Catherine is always helping me in expanding my horizon in coaching prospective, pointing out my blind spot and self-limitation and inspiring my potential for further development.
My next targetted mentor coach is Dave Buck........
I invest my time, effort and money in assisting current leaders and building future leaders through coaching.
If you ask, the answer is there.
Up to Sep 2007, I have already finished the first draft for the Chinese version. With the requirement from the IAC Board of Governors, I am now in the stage of reversing my Chinese version in to English and testing its correctness and fine tuning the nuances of some cultrual differences.
As the second stage in reviewing the first draft in to a progressing draft, I need people who are currently practising as coaches in any walks with a high proficiency in both English and Chinese languages to work with me.
I threw this question in a recently HKICC PD Meeting where I shared my IAC Certification Journey. I got responses from Summer Chan, a life coach who translated the HKICC code of ethics from English in to Chinese and Tan Chew Yan, an executive coach who has over 12 years of professional English/Chinese translation experience on top of her coaching practices.
If you ask, the answer is there. Let me roll on.
Please stay tuned on the progress.
On 11th Nov 2007, the completed Chinese translation was sent to IAC headquarter. Upon IAC's formal precedure in approving and endorsing the document, we hope to see it on the IAC website in early 2008. We are also taking the boldness to asking IAC also to consider having Test 1 in Chinese. If yes, our voluntary team are ready for further contribution for the translation.
