CHANGING THE PATTERN STATE OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH A SELF-COACHING APP imagination-tasks it cannot be made sure, if the client who uses the app really is in the solution state. But it forces the client to think of something else, more pleasant, through the questions and the activation. This irritate in a way which according to Muecke?! is one possible approach for the change of pattern. One of the students quoted in a reflection report afterwards: “the change of pattern state alone, without the rest of the coaching-process, is sufficient for me to be more motivated to work on the solution of a problem”.”” According to the the preliminary results there is acceptance of self-ecoaching and the change of pattern, but what does that imply for coaching practitioners? IMPLICATION FOR PRACTITIONERS For learners of the Karlsruhe School coaching concept it means some relief on their pressure bringing clients into the change of pattern state. Insecurities in supporting this transition were revealed in another previous study. The conclusion is that small interventions already have an impact. The change of pattern state is not provided in every coaching-concept, but similar interventions are used for the same reason. Self-coaching or self-e-coaching can be used in several ways to facilitate coaching and training, e.g.: s, as an addition to a coaching-process with a professional coach or in between peer coaching sessions, + as a method for quality assurance for coaches (self-reflection of coaching sessions and as preparation for intervision and peer coaching sessions), ¢ as an independent method for persons who want to experience coaching on a non-binding level first, for those who do not want to share their challenges with others or are simply curious about the process behind in either way it can be on specific topics or universal, s as practice to learn the process for becoming coaches in coaching training, ¢ as an intervention for sustainability of training, ¢ asa showcase of the process, to make it more transparent for the client, ?!
