Presence as Coach

"Presence as Coach" is the subject of a webinar that i attended ten days ago. It was the first time that i have attended  a webinar and really it was an unforgettable experience because i met different people from different countries. First of all, we begin by presenting ourselves and then Mrs. Marilynn introduced the topic and started by saying that presence as coach is not only for teacher but also when dealing with people, in the society, at work and as parents. So you should take a deep breath and think positively when any situation happens, ask questions, listen carefully and find to connect others in order to have a clear picture about the situation so you can take the right decisions. In addition, to be present you should have your role as parents, teacher or in the society; try to increase yourself awareness by knowing yourself, choosing yourself and giving yourself. There are three important thing to presence which are the mind, the body and the heart and we should have balance between them. After that we asked questions and she replied on it. When i asked her that as teachers we should know who we are and what are our abilities but, how we can help our students to do that? she told me that we should listen to them, ask them and connect them to other students; in another way, let them practice their abilities. Before finishing the webinar, i asked her if presence can be innate or developed by experiences and she said that it can be learned and developed with time. finally, it was a productive and nice experience that everyone should try it.
