Week 3 Kerri coaches Michelle

Michelle Jacobs

Coach Kerri

2/23/14


Kerri and I spoke through Skype for our coaches’ call. At the beginning of our call we spoke about our personal lives and took the time to learn about what is going on in each other’s lives. We step up the brickwork for future meetings. Kerri stated that she is a dental hygienist at the Veterans Affairs hospital. She explained that she was married and is currently working towards acquiring her master’s degree.  In our conversation we spoke about the different aspects of our lives that we could each apply our coaching to and some of the current struggles that we are each going through as graduate students and working full time jobs.  After we got to know more about each other, we were able to begin the coaching process.  I explained to Kerri that I am currently very overwhelmed with what is going on in my life. I am in my final semester at UMASS Boston and will graduate in the spring with my master’s in Education and a graduate certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis. I am taking three courses this summer and am in the process of moving. I explained to Kerri that I work fulltime and will soon be completing my capstone. Through my coaching I am hoping to find ways to de-stress and focus on what’s going on at the moment rather than stress about what’s happening tomorrow. Kerri was very patient; she listened to what I had to say and asked some great questions. I look forward to being coached by Kerri this semester.
