Coaching Process
We offer you a 40 minute introductory coaching session. This permits you to evaluate our services, competencies and coaching style. The aim is for both parties to assess the compatibility of the coaching partnership and how comfortable the client feels on a personal level. During this session, you will need to ask and answer for yourself the following questions:
Do the competencies and the specialisation of the coach resonate with you?. What issues do you want to resolve in this coaching partnership and is this partnership your key to moving forward in life?
Details of our coaching process are outlined below but bear in mind that we adapt according to the requirements and wishes of our clients:
1) Assessment of the current situation is the preliminary to each coaching session. We first undertake an analysis of the current situation to ensure that the coach clearly understands your needs. During these exploratory conversations, you may find that your perceptions of the situation actually differ from “reality”. Through the Socratic questioning technique, the core of the issue is effectively unveiled. You will discern for yourself how you project your emotions and feelings into a situation, or whether the situation really is as you describe it. This technique for itself stimulates you to re-examine your situation.
2) In a second step we discuss what you really want out of your situation. What are your aspirations?. What are these based on?. What are the feelings of the other players involved?.
3) We then examine the resources and tools for your tool box. These tools are at your disposition to change your situation to your advantage and so turn your aspirations into reality.
4) We then asses the support from your external environment and how you can enlist further support. What additional resources are available?.
5) Next we tailor a plan for you to achieve your goals and desires. This also entails a list of actions, key success factors and milestones.
6) We make sure that you stay on track and that you achieve your goals. We guide you through the process and we coach you to effectively use empowerment tools and techniques.
7) Once you have achieved your goal we will celebrate with you and set forth the next stage for your personal discovery and growth.
