relationship skills and personal growth

What is coaching?
Coaching is facilitating someone's growth thorugh reflection and application of new strategies to life and work. Coaching is essentially a conversation - a dialogue between a professional and her/his client in a secure context, where the conversation is focused towards obtaining productive results in the client's everyday life. The client is then guided on how to learn strategies that work and on how to put them into practice.

What does the coach do?
IThe coach listens and clarifies, tells the client the truth on what she/he hears, requires action, and works on the creation of a vision for the future that the client wants to pursue. It is not uncommon to find that having created a vision is not on the agenda.
The coach observes models of thoughts and behaviour, automatic responses, and blocks in the place of resources and possibilities, and will prepare the soil for action: all too often what we beleve are our objectives are instead undeveloped ideas. All too often our preferred behaviour is the one which is not giving us any new results. Coaching is a two-hands job where coach and client work together to activate resources that many of us have forgotten to have and very often left them unused.
Through working with a coach, the client directly faces those thoughts that gets in the way of development and block potentialities. The coach trains her/his client to jump over obstacles and to claim their merit for doing it.

Who can be coached?
Everybody can be coached as coaching is about learning. All those people who wish to positively change their behaviour with regard to their relational and professional life. All those poeple who wish to focus on the creation of their future. In the case the coach believes that the client needs are such as to require other kind of help, she/he will refer the client to other professionals for a consultation.

Who is already using professional coaching?
Those who wish to maintain a work/life balance work with a coach to achieve it. Have you ever found yourself inmersed in a sea of work with no time for yourself and your family? Reaching a balance is possibile.
Those who find themselves going through important transitional phases of their lives and wish to work with a coach to compare perspectives and take important decisions. Have you ever thought that there must be a way of taking decisions in a less painful way? Have you ever thought there must be a way of taking a decision without procrastinating so much? There is.
Small and medium firms who wish to create a good working environment where people like going to work, enjoy having the chance to develop their potential for growth and so want to contribute to the success of the firm they work for. Have you ever dreamt of finding a joyful, caring and friendly environment when you get to your office? Is a joyful, caring and friendly environment be in contrast to reaching an optimum level of productivity? It is indeed achievable.

Always ask for qualification, training and experience to your coach before starting a course of lessons. it is your right to ask.
