What is Coaching?
Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change. Other service professions, like consulting and psychotherapy, are based on the wisdom and expertise of the professional. In coaching you—the client—are the expert.
Your coach’s role is to ask powerful questions, act as a sounding board, provide objective assessment and observations, listen fully and actively, challenge your blind spots, and foster shifts in thinking that reveal fresh perspectives.
Coaches partner with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaches honor the client as the expert in his/ her/their life and work, and believe every client is creative, resourceful and whole (International Coaching Federation).
Coaching Approach
My coaching methodology is based on a client-centered, strengths-based approach, combined with evidence-based coaching techniques. I believe in fostering a positive and supportive environment that allows individuals to explore their potential and overcome challenges effectively.
What are Coaching Topics?
A coaching topic is something personal or professional that is current, unresolved and important to you. It is something that you are unable to resolve for yourself.
Coaching can cover a wide range of topics, depending on the needs and goals of the individual or team being coached. Here are examples of coaching topics:
Leadership development
Goal setting and achievement
Improving or developing communication skills
Career development
Setting priorities and managing time effectively
Stress management and building resilience
Developing effective conflict resolution strategies
Building self-confidence and overcoming imposter syndrome
