What do you mean by written / audio reflection?
For any pre-recorded training we ask for a short written or audio reflection.
We will give you headings and questions to support you with this.
For example, as you watch the videos to support the Group Coaching Training, reflect by asking:

– What difference will this make to my practice?
– What questions do I have now?
– What am I committing to?
Once you have completed these reflections, we can confirm you have completed your coach education hours.
