This assignment will focus on introducing you to the question of human dignity and, in particular, the Christian perspective of the intrinsic worth and value of each person. You will have the opportunity to integrate this insight with scientific and philosophical approaches that inform judgements made in health care and contrast it with secular approaches to human value and worth. The logic of human rights will be made explicit as you engage with different concepts of “moral status.”
Based on your reading of the “Case Study: Fetal Abnormality” and topic Resources, complete the “Moral Status: Case Analysis” document, in which you will analyze the case study in relation to the following:
Christian view of the nature of human persons, theory of moral status, intrinsic human value, and dignity
Theory or theories used by individuals in the case to determine the moral status
How each theory used determines or influences recommendations for action
Moral status theory personal response
Integration of knowledge in health care (theories, multiple ways of knowing, evidence) and knowledge from other disciplines inform and support current or future professional health care practices and judgements
Support your response using only Chapter 2 from the textbook Practicing Dignity: An Introduction to Christian Values and Decision-Making in Health Care and the Topic 2 Resource “The Image of God, Bioethics, and Persons With Profound Intellectual Disabilities.”

If you’ve been exposed to A.A. Milne’s famous character Winnie-the-Pooh, then you probably also know Pooh’s friends. The one most pertinent to this discussion is Eeyore, the gray stuffed donkey who is generally pessimistic, gloomy, and depressed. Everyone knows at least one real-life Eeyore who always tends to see the glass of life as half empty. This type of person can be difficult to deal with, especially if you are in a position to manage or help them, as you might be in a life coaching situation.
But, rather than trying to change their whole disposition on life, a better approach might be to try and understand what contributes to their pessimism or lack of hope. Every person has a story that if understood by someone would help to explain that pessimistic person’s behavior and attitude.
With that in mind, another related question needs to be addressed: Are there truly “negative” emotions in contrast to “positive” ones? Or, are all emotions simply an expression of what is going on for that particular person at a given time? For example, most people consider anger to be a “negative” emotion. But, anger is a legitimate expression of feelings.
Perhaps the larger question isn’t whether there are negative or positive emotions, but rather how to best express a difficult emotion, such as anger, grief, disappointment, sadness, etc. Most people overestimate their emotional intelligence, or their ability to make sense of their own emotion and communicate it effectively to another person. Perhaps we should put the emphasis on better emotional awareness and communication instead of trying to suppress or avoid what is often termed “negative” emotion.
In the final assignment of the course, you will have the opportunity to explore this landscape of emotion in greater detail. Specifically, you will examine what we often refer to as negative emotion and how to manage it in others from the life coaching perspective. It is stating the obvious to say that when someone expresses strong, negative-like emotion, it can be very challenging. You’ll have an opportunity to see how you might approach these types of emotion using the framework of positive psychology as a guide.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
· Describe how to manage negative emotion using life coaching principles from positive psychology.
Background Information
An important part of this assignment pertains to the final question: How might you view your own “negative” emotion if you applied a principle or two from positive psychology? As a future life coach, you need to have a firm understanding and comfort level with your own emotion. When your inner life is familiar to you, you can be comfortable entering into the inner life of another person. For example, if you have worked through where your anger tends to come from and have learned to express it in a way that lets others hear you and respond favorably, then you will be effective in helping others with their anger. As a life coach, your own honest work on yourself will always enhance your work with others.
Instructions
1. Read Chapter 12, “Negative Emotions in the Context of Positive Psychology” in your textbook Positive Psychology in Coaching: Applying Science to Executive and Personal Coaching.
2. Review the article “Why We Need Both Negative and Positive Emotions(new tab).”
3. After completing these steps, respond to the following questions using at least four substantive paragraphs:
a. How can you tell the difference between a person who is discouraged and could be helped with coaching from a person with discouragement who would benefit more from therapy?
b. Comment on the following points: Some people believe that emotions shouldn’t be labeled as positive or negative. In other words, why should we say that anger is negative and happiness is positive? Can’t anger or sadness or discouragement be positive if viewed through the lens of positive psychology? Explain your response.
c. How could you begin to see some of your “negative” emotions differently by applying a principle from positive psychology?
4. Be specific in your responses and use concrete examples from the textbook, supplemental readings, outside sources, and personal experiences to frame your writing.
5. Use at least two scholarly resources in addition to the readings assigned in this workshop.

6.3 Integrating Spiritual Formation.Life Coaching. and Positive Psychology
Getting Started
We covered a lot of ground in this course and it can be very helpful to take time to think carefully about what you’ve learned thus far. An important concept in the learning process is often referred to as integration. The root of that word is integrate. To integrate something is to make it whole or complete. That is really your ultimate goal in your learning: to bring together the most important ideas you’ve been exposed to, like pieces of a puzzle, and figure out how they fit together to form a whole, complete picture. If you can see how those pieces relate to one another, then you can leverage that powerful learning as you move forward in all realms of your life.
In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to pull together much of your learning from the course with an integrative or synthesis paper on the Good Life. It will bring together concepts from positive psychology, spiritual formation, and life coaching. You’ll need to put on your critical-thinking cap in order to thoughtfully answer the questions for this assignment. But that is actually good news. The more you are prompted to think deeply about these ideas, the more you grow in knowledge, faith, and personal insight. The effort spent on this integrative paper has the potential to pay big dividends over time.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
· Integrate learning from the course on spiritual formation, life coaching, and positive psychology.
Background Information
This concept of critical thinking is frequently referred to in academic settings. But it is often assumed students know what it is and how it should be applied. A simple definition of critical thinking is: using careful analysis and judgment to determine what is true or of value. So, to apply critical thinking to the questions in this assignment, here are a few practical suggestions:
· You could raise questions or pose problems that you might try to solve.
· You would want to adequately gather or review information about important ideas and concepts you’ve been exposed to. This might involve going back over previous workshops or assignments to review your initial thoughts on the subject and see if your views have changed.
· You would also want to take an open-minded approach that considers various alternatives before making any conclusions. The skill of critical thinking, if learned during your academic years, can serve you in limitless ways in virtually all areas of your life.
Instructions
1. Read Chapter 11, “Leveraging Positive Psychology in Culturally Competent Coaching,” in your textbook Positive Psychology in Coaching: Applying Science to Executive and Personal Coaching.Review/watch the following:
a. TED talk: What Makes a Good Life?(new tab)

5.4 Assignment: Personal Reflection Journal. Developing Your Life Coaching Project
Getting Started
In this Personal Reflection Journal, you will develop a preliminary plan for life coaching sessions you will be conducting in the next course (PSY-563). In the previous course (PSY-561), you chose a particular coaching focus from the list of 12 life coaching categories that you will use extensively as you conduct your life coaching sessions in the next course. You will need to refer to that chosen life coaching category in this Journal.
In this assignment, you are going to develop a plan for approaching your life coaching session so you will feel ready to jump into the implementation of your project when the next course begins. You will need to prepare for and conduct two coaching sessions in PSY-563 with the same subject so that you can measure the progress from one session to the next and replicate what an actual coaching client relationship would be like. Most coaching takes place over a series of meetings.
Here are the questions you should respond to in this assignment:
1. Secure at least one person (or perhaps a second for backup in case the first drops out) to act as a coaching subject for your life coaching capstone project. Choose a person you already have some rapport with but don’t know well. This will make the coaching session more realistic and keep your curiosity about the person high. Who is this prospective person? Explain how you know them and for how long. Why did you choose him/her? Have they committed to helping you with the project? If not, when do you anticipate being able to secure a coaching subject?
2. Does this person have a stated need in the area of your chosen life coaching specialty? Make sure that your subject’s needs align with your chosen life coaching category. For example, if you chose Health Coaching as your life coaching specialty from the list of 12, then you need to choose a subject with an expressed need in that area. In this case, that need would be centered around some aspect of developing healthy lifestyle habits that include a balanced diet, weight management, regular exercise and care for their mental well-being, etc. Explain what that need appears to be in the subject you have chosen. If you are unsure, ask the person before responding to this question so that you can begin to anticipate how to structure your coaching sessions in the next course.
3. Based on your subject’s specific coaching needs, what are some preliminary questions you would like to ask? You can modify these in the next course, but list at least five to get you thinking in the right direction.
4. What principles from positive psychology coincide with those questions that you intend to incorporate into your life coaching capstone project? Name at least three principles.
5. What else do you need to do to adequately prepare for implementing your capstone project at the start of the next course? Reach out to your instructor if you need additional guidance.
By the time you finish this assignment, you should be ready to implement your life coaching project. In the next course (PSY-563), you will be given specific instructions and related assignments that will help structure and implement your detailed plan.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
· Identify the specific coaching needs of the chosen coaching subject while aligning with principles from positive psychology and life coaching.
Instructions
1. Read Chapter 10, “When There’s Too Much of a Good Thing,” in your textbook Positive Psychology in Coaching: Applying Science to Executive and Personal Coaching.
2. Open your Personal Reflection Journal, and date and title your new entry. After reading the assigned textbook chapter, respond to the following in your journal entry:
a. Have you secured at least one person to act as a coaching subject for your practice sessions in PSY-563? If not, when do you anticipate being able to get a commitment from a subject? If you have a subject, who is that person and why did you choose him/her? How do you know them and for how long?
b. Does this person have a stated need in the area of your chosen life coaching specialty? Explain what your chosen life coaching category is. How do your subject’s needs coincide with your chosen category?
c. Based on your subject’s specific coaching needs, what are at least five preliminary questions you would like to ask?
d. What principles from positive psychology coincide with those questions that you intend to incorporate into your capstone project? Name at least three principles.
e. What else do you need to do to adequately prepare for implementing your sessions at the start of the next course?
3. Your entry should be a minimum of five paragraphs.
5.3 Assignment: Coaching Someone Using the Best-Possible-Self Exercise
Getting Started
Life coaching is an exciting and growing field that has limitless applications. Many people need that objective person in their life to help them see new angles or opportunities for change that seem to elude them for any number of reasons. And, to be a competent life coach, you need to practice. That is exactly what you get to do in this assignment.
You will conduct an actual coaching session with another person of your choosing using the Best Possible Future Self exercise that you were exposed to in Workshop Four. As part of the planning for this coaching session, you were asked in Workshop Two to set up the coaching conversation with a person you know (an adult family member, a friend, or a coworker). It is best if you have some ongoing relationship and a good rapport with this person. In setting up the conversation, you were to ask the person if they would help you with a school-related assignment that focuses on life coaching. You were to introduce it as a 30-minute conversation where you will ask them some questions about how they would ideally like their future life to look—this could include their job, health, desire to help others, family life, finances, etc. You didn’t want to tell them much more than this so their responses would be spontaneous.
The goal of this assignment is to give you an actual feel for how to coach someone using principles from Positive Psychology and integrate key learning from other parts of the course in the coaching process.
You will conduct the coaching session using a modified approach of the Best-Possible-Self Exercise you did for yourself in Workshop Four. You will recall from Workshop Four that this tool is commonly used in coaching to help increase optimism. It requires the person to envision an imaginary future where everything has turned out exactly as that person would have liked. This exercise has been shown in studies to increase a person’s mood and well-being.
As you do the coaching session, remember that you are a coach-in-training. Don’t expect everything to go smoothly or to know all of the answers. Stick with the questions and the agenda provided for you and it should enable you to walk through the session on solid ground. If you want to ask questions in addition to the ones provided, feel free to do so. But, keep the conversation focused on the person’s future self.
Specific directions are provided in the Background Information section. A few additional pointers:
· After asking for and acquiring their permission, verbally ask your coaching subject the questions and record the conversation so that you can refer back to specific points when writing up your reflection paper for this assignment.
· Be sure to ask all of the questions provided and any additional ones you think are relevant.
· After the conversation is completed, listen to the recording of the coaching session and write a four- to five-page paper that reflects on the questions listed in this assignment.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
· Conduct a coaching session using a proven coaching tool.
Background Information
Here is the modified approach to the Best-Possible-Self Exercise that you will use with your subject. Be sure to ask all of the questions listed.
Instead of having your subject write out his/her ideas of a future self, you will verbally ask a series of questions and record the conversation after asking for and acquiring their permission. Most people have phones that will record. Tell your subject, “There are no wrong answers, but you should dream and dream big (but realistically) as you brainstorm answers to the questions.”
Here are the questions you will ask your subject:
· What type of work would your ideal future self want to do (it doesn’t depend on outside factors)? What interests you about this work?
· What talents, skills, and abilities would your future self like to have? How would you use them?
· How would your ideal future self define your purpose in life? Do you feel that sense of purpose now? If not, why not?
· How would your ideal future self like to make a difference in the lives of others? Get specifics.
· What would your ideal future self like to change, if anything, as it relates to your family life?
· What other parts of your future self would you like to envision?
Once you’ve completed the interview, you will go into more of the coaching interaction with the subject. Frame the following questions with your chosen coaching style in mind: problem-solving, identifying values, or facilitating growth. Ask your subject these processing questions:
· Having brainstormed these ideas, do you feel more optimistic about your future? If so, how?
· What have you learned about yourself in your responses to these questions?
· What is one future item you mentioned that you would like to begin working on right now in order to realize that future vision?
· How do you intend to start? (If the person is general and vague, offer a more concrete suggestion that is measurable.)
· Insert a question of your own that reflects your chosen coaching style (record this question in your paper).
After the conversation, listen to the recording of the entire coaching session and write a four- to five-page paper in response to the question in the assignment.
Instructions
1. Read Chapter 9, “Coaching through Transitions and Change,” in your textbook Positive Psychology in Coaching: Applying Science to Executive and Personal Coaching.
2. Conduct the practice coaching session following the instructions in the Background Information section.
3. After the coaching conversation, listen to the recording of the coaching session and write a four- to five-page paper in response to the following questions:
a. What impressions do you have of your subject’s ideal future self? Are his/her dreams realistic and achievable? Could you see optimism or an upbeat mood in the responses?
b. What did you think you did well in the coaching conversation? Be specific.
c. What do you need to work on in future coaching sessions? Be specific.
d. If you were to develop an action plan for this person based on his/her answers, what three points would you suggest as places to start to facilitate change? Again, be specific and show emphasis in your action plan on your chosen coaching approach: problem-solving, values, or growth.
e. If you were to do this conversation over again with the same person, what would you change? Explain each point.
4. Be specific in your responses and use concrete examples from the textbook, supplemental readings, outside sources, and personal experiences to frame your writing.
5. Use APA 7th Edition Paper Template.
6. If you use outside resources in the development of your paper, be sure to appropriately cite the material.

Assessment of Learning: Teacher-marked Trends in the business of hockey You are halfway through this course. This is an Assessment of Learning, which is used to evaluate your work based on established criteria and to assign a mark. Your teacher will provide you with feedback and a mark. This Assessment of Learning is worth 17% of your final mark for the course. There are three tasks in this Assessment of Learning. Now that you have a general understanding of the current trends affecting today’s international businesses, it is time for you to once again help the team at Blue Line Hockey Sticks. Dap and Katelyn recently reviewed a 2015 Sportsnet report that stated hockey was an $11 billion business in Canada. They identified the following trends. Demographically Socially Economically Technologically Demographically, 90% of Canadians believe that hockey is embedded in our cultural identity. About 68% of new Canadians become hockey fans after their first five years in Canada. This number rises to 80% after 10 years, spanning across the young and old alike! There is even an online MBA program offered by Athabasca University in Alberta that focuses exclusively on the business of hockey. Seeing the ever-growing interest in and excitement about hockey here in Canada, Dap and Katelyn are looking for your expertise to identify the demographic, social, economic, and technological trends for the country that you chose in Learning activity 1.5. Once you have identified these trends, you will analyze and assess how they might affect Blue Line Hockey Sticks. Finally, you will write a report providing Dap and Katelyn with recommendations on how to take advantage of potential opportunities. You must complete three tasks to be successful in this activity. Be sure to read all tasks in their entirety before starting. You will be submitting work for all three tasks. Tasks Task 1: Prep work – research outline Use the “Assessment for Learning Activity 2.5 Task 1 Research Outline (Opens in new window) ” to complete the following: 1. Conduct research on the demographic, social, economic, and technological trends for your chosen country. Determine how they may affect Blue Line Hockey Sticks. Be sure to keep track of your sources as you will need them for your citations and reference list in the upcoming tasks. 2. When you are comfortable with your research, provide a summary of what you have learned in the box provided. 3. Come up with some initial recommendations for Dap and Katelyn based on these research findings. Save the finished document. You will submit it for evaluation when you have completed all tasks Task 2: Prep work – report outline Now that you have completed your research outline, it’s time to organize the sections of your report. Use the “Assessment for Learning Activity 2.5 Task 2 Report Outline (Opens in new window) ” to help you. You may wish to have a friend or family member review the outline with you so that you get feedback before committing to the final product. Save the finished document. You will submit it for evaluation when you have completed all tasks. Task 3: Final product – trend report Write your trend report in a .doc or .docx format using word-processing software. Your trend report draws from the work you completed in your research and report outlines from Tasks 1 and 2. Trend report guidelines: ● Length: at least 500 words per trend category. ● A title is required. ● A table of contents is required. ● An introduction is required. ● Use headings, pagination, and transitions throughout. ● APA in-text citations and a References list are required. Save the finished document. You will submit it for evaluation when you have completed all tasks. Bold text start Tips for success Bold text End Remember that your role is to advise Dap and Katelyn about the demographic, social, economic, and technological trends for your chosen country, how these trends affect Blue Line Hockey Sticks, and how the company can take advantage of these opportunities. As a wise sage once said, “If you fail to plan, you are essentially planning to fail.” Therefore, you must complete and submit both outlines (i.e., Task 1 and Task 2) along with your final trend report. Revise your work for spelling and grammar (use tools like Grammarly and spell check, as applicable). Feedback and marking You will receive three kinds of feedback: ● Your teacher will highlight the phrases on the rubric that best describe your assignment to show you how you have done. ● Your teacher will also provide you with detailed comments about the strengths of your assignment, the areas of the assignment that need improvement, and the steps you should take before submitting another assignment like this one. The final piece of feedback that you will receive will be your mark. Each of the four categories of knowledge and skills is weighted equally at 25 marks, making a total of 100 marks. The final mark on this Assessment of Learning is determined by your teacher based on their professional judgement of the requirements for the assignment. Rubric Pay careful attention to the following rubric. Your teacher will use it to assess your work. You should refer to it too, so you’ll know exactly what your finished assignment should look like.
