Applying your knowledge of effective client engagement and coaching industry standards for ethics, you will contract with two clients for an eight-week supervised coaching engagement. Under the guidance of the instructor and a MSLOC Fieldwork Coach, you will complete a combination of coaching assignments and reflections to help you make progress in achieving your customized learning objectives. By the end of the quarter, you also will complete your OLCC digital coaching portfolio, which will represent your coaching philosophy, the defining elements of your coaching practice, evidence of your coaching effectiveness, and your critical thinking about the field of coaching.
