Speaker 1 (00:01):
Journal-based coaching really has taken on a
lot of different nuances, andwhen you think about
journal-based coaching, I thinkabout the book the Progress
Principle by Teresa Amable.
She used journaling to actuallycreate contextual, if not
statistical, reference to thebenefits of progress.
What she noticed?
That when people journaledwhere they were progressing,

(00:24):
they found out when they wereprogressing they were at their
most motivated state.
The value of journaling, now,one of the things that we teach
in Progress Coaching is toactually take the time and
observe other people and journal, and so, if you want to learn
good presentation skills, learnfrom somebody by watching them

(00:45):
or watch a TED Talk and thenjournal what are the three
things they did?
Well, what the personeventually is doing little do
they know is they're actuallycoaching themselves.
Now we actually created a wholeseries of journal-based
coaching books and essentiallypeople journal and we actually
embed audios into the booksproviding instruction, questions

(01:07):
, thought, and then we have athought-provoking and then
people journal based on whatthey actually learned.
Here's the value of journalingwhen we bring other senses,
other learning modalities, ifyou will, or learning techniques
into play, we tend to retainmore when you watch a
presentation versus watch apresentation and then actually

(01:28):
write down what you learned andthen share it with somebody.
You're more committed toimprovement or retention as it
relates to that particular areathat you've been learning.
Journal-based coaching isapplicable in a lot of different
ways, so one of the things thatwe just launched is something
called cadence coaching.
So when I think about cadencecoaching, cadence is when we

(01:50):
send out content and we'reteaching how to coach, for
example.
Then we're asking what we callquestion sets what did you learn
?
What's an area that this couldbe applied to?
What's a challenge thatresonates with you when you go
through this content?
And what they're essentiallydoing is journaling what they
learned.
When we see that we now cancollaborate based on their world

(02:14):
, journaling is one of the mostvaluable things that we could do
, and we have to, as leaders, becreative in the way we
facilitate it.
