Couching sessions for personal development included in the program of the D-PATH Conference on Diabetes and beyond … 9 June 2023, approached the changes in life styles produced by diabetes. Silvia Albu, the guest education and training expert wanted to have this experience included in the program under the title HEALTH THROUGH EDUCATION AND GAMES, REGARDLESS OF AGE .
Silvia also wished to have her thoughts herein : ‘I accepted to be in the D-PATH event, 7-9 June 2023, Braila Romania because I felt I would be able to use my skills to support participants perceive a different new life opening for them by “diabetes". It is a creative exploratory process. The game is called POY (points of you). Why this game? Because one image is worth a thousand words. The game enables each participant to observe and express their own perceptions, understanding, truths, feelings and interpretations. During the program 90% of the participants of different ages and professions got involved. The feedback was : WOW.
Silvia played this interactive game whenever a group was sitting down for one reason or another, during breaks, outdoor activities and the cooking show, turning those moments into an opportunity to learn about yourself, communicating with those around you, getting focused on issues from mastering health issues, diet LEGO solutions but most of all answering the whys connected to each moment
According to Silvia’s coaching experience she was in a continuous dialogue as she considers “we often become aware, notice and appreciate health only when a problem occurs or when we see someone in pain. Phrases like ‘healthy lifestyle’, ‘healthy daily habits’ seem remote things or something related to personal development. And yet ‘health through education’ and ‘health through games’ can now include ‘yes, I have a problem, how do I manage it so that my quality of life is not affected?’.
She also emphasized that when we have a health problem, in addition to the emotional and physical discomfort, the financial one also appears and had conversations on how we overcome all of this, how we prepare throughout our own lives for financial comfort so that whatever a problem may arise it doesn’t turn our life upside down. Setting a goal, preparing and acting as much as possible were in focus with a mention that everything needs correction or improvement along the way, continuously. A possible start could be the development of social skills. The development of social skills is a lifelong learning process.
Motivational reasoning was used. She accommodated the participants with the idea that in the absence of a personal skills development plan to follow, you naturally learn from everything that happens to you every day, because the extent to which people are able to evolve, depends on their needs which they are struggling to fulfill.
The results one may get are:
• freeing up at least two hours a day and directing this time to the development area and to activities that currently important;
• changes in attitude and behavior that lead to better results in what you choose to do;
• changing your wishes into specific and achievable objectives;
• building work plans through which you can get to where you set out to be and following them
up to completion;
• effective communication and effective delegation;
• improving the relationship with existing friends, partners, those around us;
Self-fulfillment refers to a person's need to become ‘all that he/she is capable of becoming’, in order to reach his/her maximum potential as an individual. It is much easier to motivate ourselves to learn to improve if we set the development of personal skills as a goal in life.
Therefore, personal productivity is the main goal in achieving top life performance, and it also consists of the ability to lead yourself, manage your time and set your priorities.
The big secret, at sight, is DISCIPLINE. We would all gain time, energy, health and money if we took discipline into account.
Te above having been said and as we often see or hear the same thing but understand it differently, she proposed the Coaching Gameas an empowerment means with the necessary tools to take a deep look into the significant aspects of own life. It is a game that augments attention and leads to action by creating new points of view. She defined herself as the leading person, listening to participants’ and animating their self discovery process. To better understand the method she quoted Oana Niculae, Leadership and Executive Couch – statement : ‘Metaphor-type photos, the differentiating and impactful elements that make up the Points of You® games, offer each participant the opportunity to observe and express their own perspectives, understandings, truths, experiences and interpretations. Being visual elements and accessing the natural language of learning and collecting memories, photo cards require the archive of one's own memory, emotions, creativity, personal mindset. Therefore, the complete associations that are made through them, related to the situations that concern us at present, are surprising, unexpected but accurate. The processes of change begin with the modification of perspective, of understanding, with reinterpretation, reframing, both rational and emotional. This is a key point in any transformational, transition, ecological communication, relationship, negotiation/mediation process, in any process where you need to train curiosity to find new, creative solutions and ideas, lateral thinking, in any soft skills training process.’
Let's play and thus learn!
