Question that I often encounter:
Why hiring a coach? Who is it for? What do I need to know in order to go through coaching?
first of all coaching is an experience, trying to explain what
coaching is all about will be like trying to explain to someone
about a journey he has never been to. Until you'll decide to go
through that journey I pulled out some explanation which will
describe coaching.So what is coaching?
According to the ICF (international coach federation)
definition:
| |
Coaching is partnering with
clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that
inspires them to maximize their personal and
professional potential.
Coaching is an ongoing relationship which focuses on
clients taking action toward the realization of their
visions, goals or desires. Coaching uses a process of
inquiry and personal discovery to build the client's
level of awareness and responsibility and provides the
client with structure, support and feedback. The
coaching process helps clients both define and achieve
professional and personal goals faster and with more
ease than would be possible otherwise.
Coaching is a long term relationship that focuses on
helping and inspiring the client to take action leading
up to implementation of his life purpose, life vision,
goals and wishes.
The coaching process is using the self exploration and
self discovery road to build up self awareness and
responsibility and give the client structure, support
and feedback.
The coaching process helps the client to define and get
their personal and professional goals in an immediate
and serene way |
I am a co active coach and this is what makes our partnership
unique.
| |
Co-active coaching is powerful
alliances that encourages and support the client to stay
on the road of learning and fulfillment. Co-active
coaching holds that people are naturally creative,
resourceful and whole - completely capable of finding
their own answers to whatever challenges they face. The
job of a Co-Active Coach® is to ask powerful questions
listen and empower to elicit the skills and creativity a
client already possesses, rather than instruct or
advise.
|
According to those definitions you can understand that coaching
helps you to get to the exact place that you want to be in the
present and in the future. When you're able to focus on your
agenda the road becomes clearer.
We've talked about the "what?" now let's talk about the "how?"
how does coaching work?
It is important that you will know what kind of transportation I
offer you or in other words: how does coaching works?
The first and most important thing for personal or business
coaching is creating and building a relationship. In this
relationship we meet for a coordinated meeting where the client
brings his own agenda to the meeting. This is the starting point
of the all process. From there we start our journey. Sometimes
you know that you want to go on a journey but you don't always
know where you want to go. My roll in your journey is to ask you
open questions that will lead you to a place where you can
deepen the learning and forward the action that you want to take
in your journey. We do all that in the safe space of our
coaching partnership.
human being have the natural ability to learn and change
according to their feelings, opinions and the environment that
they live in, thanks to that we know that we'll always get
somewhere and we know that we always have a starting point. From
that exact place our conversation starts. The client brings his
agenda from that place.
The co active coaching is based on 4 cornerstones:
| |
The client is naturally creative, resourceful, and whole
|
| |
.*Nothing is broken or needs fixing
*The coach has the questions, the client have the
answers
|
| |
co active coaching
addresses the clients whole life |
| |
.*Focuses on fulfillment, balance, and process |
| |
the agenda comes from the
client |
| |
*The client is in charge, the
relationship is focused on the client getting the
results they want.
*The coach ensures the clients are always steering
towards fulfillment and balance, and are able to engage
in the process of their lives. |
| |
The coach dances in the moment with the client |
| |
*We coach what shows up rather than
from a grid.
*There is a fluid give and take in the lead between the
client and the coach.
*Everything that is happening is an opportunity for
learning and movement. |
Thoughts about responsibility and commitment:
.
One of the ways to look at coaching is to see that it is a
relationship that is nourishing the client in a safe space to
deepen the learning into the core of who he is and to act and
live from that place. Thanks to the fact that we are human, we
bring to the relationship: assumptions, expectations, opinions
and different thoughts. The commitment of each of the sides in
this relationship is to take 100% responsibility for it, which
makes this relationship to 200% stronger, responsible and
compelling. In a coaching relationship there is huge meaning to
responsibility. Each party of this partnership takes 100%
responsibility for it and therefore it creates commitment to
mutual work, honesty and openness.
It is our responsibilities to create this partnership in a way
that will make it work in order that the client will have the
place that will nourish him and help him grow.
in order that that our coaching partnership will work in the
best way with result that will make fulfill yourself each of us
the coach and the client have to take 100% responsibility to the
process in identical way.
