Who is seeing a coach? and why?

There are all sorts of reasons why somebody decides to consult a life-coach.

Going through life-changes or wishing for a change is often a major reason, but it could also simply be that ‘thing’ you never get done or that plan that - in spite of all good intentions - does not seem to happen.

Coaching is built upon the assumption that you already have all the knowledge and tools you need to achieve what you want. Coaching just helps you unravel the answers. So I ask most of the questions, and you have all the answers.

Talking to friends, colleagues and family is important and helps in many cases when finding your answers. When talking to a coach you do not only get other kinds of reactions and questions, but you avoid having to relate to the (well-meant) wishes of the other person.

AND, coaching is highly confidential - of course.

So how is it done?

The coaching process involves a series of one-to-one one-hour sessions, usually face to face. Sometimes we only need to meet a few times, other times the process take longer.

When being coached you are the expert on you. As the client, you are responsible for you and your life. You are setting your own expectations and goals. In most cases we will early on design a coaching agreement. At all times, the focus is on your values and aspirations.

I am trained in listening, observing and being curious on your behalf, and most importantly, I create an atmosphere of trust.
