Diploma Portfolio : 10 Keeping the momentum

Summary

“Keeping the momentum and co-coaching” 2019

Context: As I got to the end of the Diploma I started looking at what next, which led me onto what motivates us to do what we do, how can we get more motivated and how we can get into a flow state to keep doing the things we want to. The design started getting large and unwieldly and I realised I had to parr it down and make it more manageable. As a result it became a design for 2 workshops.
Aim: To create 2 workshops exploring momentum and co-coaching to be shared at the Diploma Gathering 2019.
Framework: SADIMET
Tools: CEAP, Looby’s Web, Mindmap, PMI (Plus, Minus, Interesting), Aranya’s flow model, Dragon dreaming
Principles: Mollison
Key successes: The workshops were well received. The design was small and sweet and felt a good way to round off the diploma.
Key challenges and how they were overcome: writing up the design for the assessors was challenging as I couldn’t work out how to apply the flow work (which was a semi written up design) with the workshops – I resolved it by providing the flow work as an appendix. In the workshop I realised what I was explaining was understood differently to how I was anticipating. Observing and interacting with this moved the workshop in a different direction, which was positive, but also showed me how I couldn’t make assumptions with my explanations.
Evaluation: The workshops were well attended and I from feedback at the end they had been useful to those attending.
Reflection: The tools used were really useful for processing the design of the workshops and for thinking through the theory behind them (ie about ‘flow’ in more detail).
