Four experienced coaches were invited as panellists and they were Prof. Dr Zainal Ariffin Ahmad, Andy Cheong, Adibah M. Saleh and Grace Gordon. There were significant anecdotal sharings by all the panellists of instances where building resilience was demonstrated, highlighting key coaching skills used by the coaches. The panellists were clear that this is more development/transformation coaching rather than addressing a specific problem. As such it required delving deeply into the coachee’s state of mind and to understand his/her emotions and issues such as limiting beliefs. A crucial skill needed was the ability to listen, and to be present while doing so, (Masteries #3 and #4). Success in identifying limiting beliefs or opening up possibilities through change could act as ‘triggers’ in the transformation. All this was to create greater self-awareness and affirming a belief in the coachee that he/she would be stepping out of this ‘Zone’ and into one of optimism and empowerment. Here, Masteries #2 (Perceiving, affirming and expanding the client’s potential) and #8 (Inviting Possibilities) would be key. This ‘trigger’ could be spiritual in nature as in the Muslim faith where Acceptance: Hikmah, there is a reason for why things happen, plays an important part in moving an individual to a place of optimism and resilience. During coaching, the coachee must understand that he/she is not alone and need not face the challenge alone. Hence exploring the support structure by the coach is important as in Mastery #9. All along, the coach must guide the coachee through this transformation by ‘helping the coachee set and keep clear intentions’ (Mastery #7) as the state of the coachee’s mind may be confusion on a path full of distractions.
