Coaching in action - Scenarios

Please read the scenarios and then follow the instructions listed under "Task for applicant"
Scenario 1

It's week 5, the group is having a discussion on Black Lives Matter and the George Floyd incident. Participant A shares that this happened only due to a procedure that needs to be taken by the police from time to time, and it wasn't intentional. Participant B, who is black American, gets so emotional saying a soul has been taken and that needs to be treated with empathy. To which participant A responds: “I understand what you are saying, but I am just speaking evidence.”
Task for applicant: As a facilitator, tell us what interventions you would make and why?
Scenario 2

One of the facilitators you are supporting contacts you and tells you they are frustrated with their co-facilitator. The issue cited is a lack of communication on the part of their co-facilitator. The disgruntled co-facilitator says their co-facilitator struggles with managing the room, and they are not picking up on key dynamics in sessions.
Task for applicant: 1. Please share your immediate interpretation of the situation (as a coach); 2. Draft a response to the disgruntled co-facilitator.
Scenario 3

You are observing a session and notice the group discussion is being primarily led by the facilitators, with minimal interaction between participants themselves.
Task for applicant: Write a sample feedback paragraph to the facilitators, addressing this dynamic.
(For Trainers Only) Are you interested in mentoring new coaches? Mentors play a key role in supporting new coaches during their coaching practicum by helping them strengthen their observation and feedback skills as they grow into the role.
Coach Induction (All coaches are encouraged to attend. Attendance is mandatory for new coaches)
Would you like to be a substitute facilitator too?
