What role does self-reflection play for an OC/T?

Self-reflection is a crucial aspect of the development process for Observer Coach/Trainers (OC/Ts). It enables them to critically assess their own performance, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and identify areas for improvement. By engaging in self-reflection, OC/Ts can evaluate how effectively they have guided and supported the learners they work with. This ongoing self-assessment contributes to their professional growth, allowing them to refine their coaching methods and strategies based on actual experiences and outcomes.

The process of self-reflection is not merely about reviewing one's actions, but involves deeper insight into the impact those actions have had on others. Through self-reflection, OC/Ts can adjust their approaches, becoming more effective in facilitating learning and development. This continual cycle of reflection and adjustment ultimately leads to better outcomes for the learners they support.
