| Descriptions: 1. I will study the mechanics of bike riding, administer assessments and determine your riding style. I will tell you where to sit, where to put your feet and when to pedal. I will give you a lengthy report and programme to follow through on before I leave. 2. I will encourage you to talk through your fears about riding and the consequences of falling. I will listen very deeply and help you to heal yourself. We will discuss your past experiences of riding, such as if your parents rode and why that might be important. 3. I will buy you the bike, put on training wheels and take them off when I think you are ready. I will run by the bike holding on until you can balance and then will cheer as you go riding onto the sunset. Occasionally I will threaten to take away the bike if you don't comply with my rules! 4. I will share with you my experience and expertise in bike riding. I will tell you the best bike on the market, give you tips on the most effective ways I've found to ride and suggest strategies for dealing with common problems like driving in traffic (don't do it!) and changing tires quickly. I've been in the same position myself so you'd better listen to me! 5. I will start with some background- the history of the bicycle the theory of riding before moving on the explain the components of the bike and describing how to ride. Observe closely while I demonstrate as there will be a short test at the end of the class. 6. I will listen to your desire to try riding and ask about the colour and kind of bike you're going to ride. I will ask if you need instructions on how to ride and if so, where you might get them. I will run alongside the bike 'checking in' to see if you're enjoying the experience and asking what might make it more fun. I will help you discover what you need to do to take care of yourself and recover when/if you fall. When you stop I will ask you about your experience and what was valuable. We will explore if you want to pursue mastery of bike riding. If you do I will help you devise a plan so you can attain this mastery. If you don't I may help you devise a plan to sell the bike! |
And the moral of the story....
Be clear about what you need and ask for what you want. Ever wanted a friend to listen and got an earful of
advice? In your business and personal life knowing how you respond to the different roles where you need expert
input and where you need support, can pay dividends. If you're involved in helping others be aware of your
preferred style and match this to your clients' needs and/or develop your flexibility so you can handle a range of
different situations.

Notes
This quiz is based on an article by Michael Stratford, at the
Centre for Creative Development, www.creativeu.com. In
practice many of us mix and match our roles, in-house
company 'coaching' is often mentoring and teachers may
also be acting as mentors, coaches and even parents.
The Soul Sanook style is primarily coaching but some
consultancy is used initially to analyse the client's current
position and plan how to meet their goals. In problem
solving the coach may also draw on some life experiences
and/or expertise in personal growth and which is more of a
mentoring role.
