Coaching Sessions

Žena píše do zošita, v popredí vyhľadávacie pole s textom „Čo je koučing?“

What does coaching mean?

We can work together in coaching sessions. But what does coaching even mean? According to the International Coaching Federation's definition (International Coaching Federation | ICF), coaching is:

"Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential."
I consider coaching a dynamic process of collaboration we can combine scientific findings and a certain type of creativity in. I see coaching as a tool and a set of competencies that can be used in many different areas. I integrate elements of coaching and a coaching approach into my language classes, as well.   

How does coaching differ from other professions?

Coaching is not mentoring. Mentoring is a relationship in which a more experienced and/or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced and/or less knowledgeable person. The focus is on the future, and the mentor is the person who leads.

Coaching is not therapy. Therapy is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental health conditions and emotional difficulties. The goal of therapy is mainly eliminating troubling symptoms or putting them under control. The focus is on the past, and the therapist is the person who leads.

Coaching is not consulting. Consulting is assessing an organization's practices and recommending solutions for improvement based on expertise in a specific area.

Coaching is not giving advice. As a coach, I will not tell you what you should do but I will help you to set and clarify your goals. I will accompany you in order for you to find your own solutions and strategies. I will support and encourage you. I will believe in you even if you do not believe in yourself and your abilities. I will partner with you in cultivating your self-awareness.

If the description of coaching resonated with you, you might want to see if it is the right fit for you. Let us find out together! 😊

You can take advantage of a complimentary 30-minute discovery call with me and see if coaching is the bee's knees for you. We could also figure out if we have the right type of chemistry in the roles of client and coach. 

During this consultation, you can tell me what you would like to achieve through coaching. I will ask you questions like:

  • Do you have any specific goals you want to achieve?
  • Do you have any specific goals you want to achieve?
  • Why are you thinking about coaching at this time?
  • Have you been coached before?

We will discuss admin stuff:

We will talk about the coaching process and agree on our mutual expectations. Our time together will be a great opportunity to go over your preferences and I will answer your questions.
