Assignment & Evaluation Descriptions

Assignment 2: 360 Process - 360 Interviews and Debrief (Individual)

As Coachee

   •     Once feedback has been debriefed by your coach, you will develop an action plan to reflect learning and desired results.  You will share it with your coach for any further reflections and changes (These action plans are for your development only and are not submitted with the assignment.) As a coachee, what did you learn about yourself? What did you notice about your willingness to receive feedback? What strengthened, or interfered, with this? How can you continue to strengthen a learner’s mindset when receiving feedback?

As Coach

   •     Use an Appreciative Inquiry philosophy when collecting the feedback. For example: What is working well?  What would make this even stronger?  What would the feedback providers like more or less of? How can the coachee take their game to the next level? We are curious as to how rapport was built with the raters.

   •     Compile the themes from the interviews to share with your coachee. Avoid a "data dump" where you share raw data.

   •     Share and debrief the feedback using a coach approach.We are looking for evidence of skills used to create triple loop learning, enhancing your relationship to the point where straight honest feedback (the mirror) is welcomed.

   •     Ensure your coachee's action plan aligns with the feedback, debrief and take-aways from your work together.

   •     Using the topic headings from the evaluation table, describe your learning for each of the following areas.

Assessment

Part 2 - 360 Feedback Interviews Completed and Results Compiled

Part 3 - Debrief 360 Feedback & Create Action Plan and share with Coach for accountability

Using the topic headings from the evaluation table, describe your learning for each of the following areas.

Please feel free to weave these in where you deem appropriate in the evaluation table template. The template is intended to be a starting point and the framework for your report. The “Content” descriptors are not intended to be all inclusive, but rather are intended to give you an overview of what we are looking for in the respective section.

You will need to include your thoughts and responses to the questions in the Assignment criteria, as well as any other information you think appropriate. What we are looking for is your experience of conducting this type of 360 assessment. As a coach, how was that different for you? What did it provide the coachee that they wouldn’t have experienced had you conducted it in the traditional manner? 

As a coachee, what did you learn about yourself?

NOTE: The element Your insights and learning about you as coach is worth 40% of this assignment. We are interested to know your deeper, personal reflections on what have you learned about you as coach; what strengths did you recognize? How will this inform and influence your coaching presence?

Conduct the 360 Interview

Provide a summary reflecting how you engaged with the feedback providers.  How did you establish trust?  How did you manage the various 'prickly' or 'challenging' feedback or 'overly positive' feedback that seems to lack substance? What coaching skills did you use to get "below the water" and how did they work/or not? What would you do differently next time around?

Reflect on how the interview questions supported or didn't support the interview process. What made the questions powerful?  How did they lead to new learnings?

Debrief the 360

As the coach, summarize the overall debrief with your coachee.

How did you theme the data?  How did the themes reflect the purpose of the 360 (or not)?  How was trust and safety established for the debrief?  

Provide your reflections on what worked or didn't work and what you would do differently. Tell us how your coachee's action plan (please do not attach) reflects the process and your discussions.
