Coaching Session: I Can't Wait...

...what are they going to say. I had received a text message from my online tutorial company and asked to book a coach session today. Now, I am waiting for it at 10 AM. Based on the SMS received, they wanted to discuss my performance evaluation. But I can guess what's the concern about. It could be the baby student (19 months old) that booked my class last time. I had shared this issue here. A baby who cannot utter any English words. With this concern, I can't wait what would be their points of view about it. Good luck to me! I am sure they will insist to continue the class even if I am going to be a clown during the class of this particular student. Regardless, I will just listen and not to argue with it. Since they will not hear me out anyway. Thus, I will be a passive listener later. Wish me luck to conceal my inner sentiments. "Are you a passive or active listener?"

The best is to expose your problem and then stop talking and listen what they have to say.

I had raised my concern and the coach cannot answer the right solution for it. As I expected, there are so many problems shared by the other virtual teachers. It is a conference coaching session.

@Shavkat Not always is easy to find a solution to every problem.

@LadyDuck I do agree on that. For their concern, they knew the problems. However, they ignore them. In fact, they don't want to incorporate the solutions.

As long as you don't teach that toddler the sh1t word, you should be OK...

You said it right. I will try to use my magic wand. Perhaps it will work this time.

@Shavkat try all simple words to toddlers, something that makes them laugh, eg, twinkle, tickle, etc. (read the book the wolf and the 3 little pigs, 'And I will huff and I will puff & I will .... ' do that with an expressive voice - that is, if you can make that toddler stop saying baaaaabaaaaaabaaaa...

You are in quite a situation not knowing what is in store for you. Funny that they insist you teach this kid.

Well, even if I am teaching online for more than 5 years now, it is impossible to teach this baby. I will still decline the possibility of having a student as young as this.

It went well. The coach cannot address the problems or issues with this kind of concern. As a result, I just a passive listener along the course of the mentoring.

when it comes to a boss i am usually a passive listener. but if I reach my limit, i speak up and then that's it. either I will quit next or win the battle.

you are right, with them you should be a passive listener and try to hide away all the emotions underneath. They hear no reasons sadly.

Best of luck to you. I am usually an active listener and come up with questions to ask as I go along.

How on earth can they expect you to hold a session with this baby? It's just ludicrous.
