Congratulations Colin you have passed the Essay Assignment. This was an excellent depiction of a team coaching journey and reflected Colin’s understanding of a number of team coaching tools, techniques, and approaches which he mapped extremely well into his team coaching engagements. He evidences his understanding of how to integrate the learning from the different modules and how to create his own integrated framework in his team coaching practice. He has also evidenced that he has read and assimilated the written material in the handouts. He is reflective throughout this well-written essay and has shown how he has reflected on his own work with a team as the team coach, both individually and through using his learning group in the practicum. He has demonstrated what he has learned about himself during the journey and how he will now apply this learning with the teams he will work with in the future. Authenticity and humility shine through this work and there is a real sense of growth and confidence “I now feel able and willing to offer myself as a Team Coach with confidence, depth, and range to add to the team facilitation, training, consulting, and mentoring I have before.” Well done Colin and good luck in your journey.

Particularly powerful: Quick to pick up the main themes. Razor sharp in analysis yet kind in the way you intervened. You didn't let me get away with any self delusion or backsliding.
