Parody Demonstration

I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

Parody AnalysisI Still Haven’t Found What I Am Looking For

A Coaching Conversation:

I’ve noticed something.

OK . . .

I have a client who “seeks” continually, but doesn’t “find.”

For example . . . ?

We complete goal setting exercises, but to no avail.

What happens?

A lot of talk, but never seeming to find it.

What is the “it”?

Neither of us know.

Therein lies the dilemma.

What is the “it” being referred to here?

Trying to get a clue.Trying to start anew.

What is an example of a “clue” that a client eventually gets?

I have thirst for higher ground.

What does “have a thirst for higher ground” imply?

Felt the healing force come ‘round.

What is the healing force being referred to?

Let’s break the bond and loose these chains.

Why type of bonds and chains might you notice with your clients?

A Coaching Conversation:

Sounds like me sometimes.

In what way?

Sometimes I’m not sure what I’m looking for.

And your clients . . . ?

It seems many are in the same situation.

What intentions have they set?

Intentions?

Yes.

I don’t know.

That’s the “it.”

Conclusions

“Accordingly, if an online peer coaching-based program shifted attitudes of the participants overall, and mostly in the desired direction, one can legitimately expect behavior change related to coaching competencies to occur among participants, albeit to perhaps a small degree.”
