The cognitive component can be a verbalised thought such as “I like that”!.
In the problem state there is no problem solving possible, the client has only
tunnel vision, but in the solution state the perspective changes and there are
alternative ways to achieve the personal objectives.
The challenge is that a coach needs to sense this change. This can be
observed for example, if the person finally smiles, sits up in the chair or does
more with his/her hands while talking. It can be heard by some coaches in a
way that the tone of voice is changing or the speed etc. Or it can be identified
by the way the person describes his or her new feelings. In a previous study
psycho-physiological parameters were measured to receive objective data, but
the results were not that significant and data had to be measured from an
individual baseline which makes it hard to compare”. In another previous work
several ways of changing the pattern state in self-e-coaching were identified in
a theoretical approach".
STUDY ON SELF-E-COACHING WITH SELF-COACHING APP
In the current study focusing mainly on the effect of self-e-coaching on self¬
reflection 74 university students from different faculties at Karlsruhe Institute
of Technology in Germany comprising mainly of engineers, a few humanities
and social scientists were asked to participate in about three self-coaching
sessions within the scope of a seminar on “Self-Coaching for problem solving
in university studies”. They all were introduced to the app and the coaching
concept. 20 of the university students were already studying for their masters’
degree and 54 still studying for their bachelors’ degree. They were aged between
19 and 31 years with an average of 23 years. 54 students were male, 20 female
and about % already had experience in receiving different forms of counselling.
The group led to a total of 208 self-e-coaching sessions with the self-coaching
app that were collected. It was made explicit that there is no wrong way to
