GREAT LAKES, Ill. - MyNavy Coaching conducted two four-hour coaching workshops Oct. 11 and 12 with the Recruit Division Commanders (RDCs) and staff at Recruit Training Command (RTC) in Great Lakes, Ill.
The workshops were conducted by Lt.j.g. Adra Oglesby and Command Master Chief Duncan MacLeod from the MyNavy Coaching team in order to complete the Job Qualification Requirements (JQRs) for 65 participants who can then conduct coaching training to recruits at RTC.
“It was a very successful trip,” said MacLeod. “We qualified so many participants who are eager to implement the MyNavy Coaching initiative and its tools. Speaking with leadership at RTC was very encouraging, as everyone is on board with Coaching and eager to see it flourish.”
The workshop taught the RTC staff, who are training the Sailors of tomorrow, how to better conduct peer-to-peer coaching conversations using personal and professional goal-setting and providing constructive feedback. “My biggest takeaway was learning what questions I can ask during these coaching sessions,” said Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Latasha Lawrence, an instructor at RDC C-School. “It's not leading them to their answer, but asking all sorts of questions to find out what it is that they wanted to work on.”
Lawrence was inspired by the training to help her junior Sailors succeed. “I think the most important part of it for me was learning what powerful questions I can ask to get the conversation started; to get them to tell me what goals they have, or what underlying issues may come from me asking certain questions.”
The MyNavy Coaching team intends to return to RTC in February 2023 to pilot a five-day training course which provides greater in-depth instruction on coaching and the modern tools to develop and engage our people. Sailors who complete the five-day training will receive a Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) or Additional Qualification Designation (AQD) that demonstrates their competency and mastery of the MyNavy Coaching initiative and coaching as a communication and leadership skill. MyNavy Coaching supports and builds upon the CNO’s principals for self-assessing, self-correcting and using a learning mindset to innovate better than any opposition.
The mission of MyNavy Coaching is to inspire coaching partners to reach their potential and achieve maximum performance outcomes through coaching partnerships to deliberately grow, broaden, and sustain development through self-learning and goal achievement.
