WHY COACHING?
WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching is a partnership in which the coach supports the customer to develop their inner potential and use it in the most effective way to achieve the objectives set in every area of life.
Coaching is a process that enables a person to look at every situation from different angles and perspectives causing deep reflection, it brings higher awareness, generates solutions, inspires new ideas, opens up new opportunities, improves effectiveness, personal performance and the quality of life.
COACHING IS NOT?
- Therapy – it does not heal, it does not mend, but stands on the firm belief that everyone has it in them and to deal with challenges in the best way possible.
- Mentorship – the mentor is an expert in the field for which the customer seeks advice. The mentor shares personal experience and knowledge, gives advice. Coaches are not specialists in the respective work fields of their customers, but are experts who can help them clarify and achieve their goals in the most effective way and generate their own solutions.
- Consulting – consultants express a personal opinion based on their professional experience and offer readily-available solutions. Coaches do neither. They help their clients reach a decision. They believe that everyone knows what is best and most effective for them.
- Training – it follows a predefined program and the objectives come from the outside. In coaching, everything comes from the customers and their values, desires and needs. The customer is an expert in their professional and personal life, and the coach helps them expand their horizons and see things in a different light, to explore the different possibilities.
- Friendship – coaches do not share their opinions, they are not emotionally involved, do not judge, and do not flatter. They are impartial. They are a partner who supports you on the path to success
