<p><font size="3">Key to our success as Coaches’ and Mentors’ is the skill and desire to critically evaluate our practice; Regular periods of self-reflection, viewing ourselves through the mirror, enabling us to make sense of our experiences.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">Thing is, this process and way of thinking doesn’t come naturally to most of us, so what exactly is involved?</font></p>
<p><font size="3">An excellent description of reflection can be found in the Harry Potter novel</font> <i><font size="3">‘The Goblet of Fire’</font></i><font size="3">.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">Dumbledore, chief wizard and head teacher of Hogwarts school, in a conversation with Harry talks of having excess thoughts!</font></p>
<p><i><font size="3">‘Harry stared at the stone basin. The contents had returned to their original, silvery white state, swirling and rippling beneath his gaze.</font></i></p>
<p><i><font size="3">“What is it?” Harry asked shakily. “This? It is called a Pensieve,” said Dumbledore.</font> <font size="3"> </font><font size="3">I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind.”“Err,” said Harry who couldn’t truthfully say that he had ever felt anything of the sort.“ At these times” said Dumbledore, indicating the stone basin, “I use the Penseive. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one’s mind, pours them into a basin, and examines them at one’s leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links</font></i> <i><font size="3">(J.K.Rowling 2000).</font></i></p>
<p><i><font size="3">Critical evaluation therefore requires us to store our thoughts in some way. Our “penseive” will take the form of a diary, reflective log, audio/video recording, or when studying a qualification ,a written assignment.</font></i></p>
<p><i><font size="3">Critical evaluation involves reflexivity, “drilling</font> <font size="3"> </font><font size="3">down” on experiences, making use of models and theories to enable in- depth analysis. Examining</font> <font size="3"> </font><font size="3">situations from differing perspectives and identifying any resultant new thinking which can be applied to future situations.</font></i></p>
<p><i><font size="3"> </font></i><i><font size="3">Everything about us, our personality, beliefs, values, behaviours have an origin somewhere. Critical evaluation gives us the opportunity to challenge ourselves, enabling growth and develops understanding. </font><font size="3"> </font></i></p>
<p><i><font size="3"> </font></i><i><font size="3">For those of you studying a qualification, I have included links to documents published by University of Portsmouth and University of Wolverhampton, which will prove useful.</font></i></p>

<p><font size="3">Critical examination is similar to the work of a film critic.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">If you embark on regularly reviews of the movie of your life as a coach/mentor so far; what do you identify with, what patterns do you see emerging? How does this make you think and feel?</font> <font size="3">What changes would you like to make?</font></p>
<p><font size="3">You might not like what you see, hear or feel, however if we develop our emotional intelligence and accept what we discover the rewards are endless.</font></p>
