SENIOR COACH

YOU CAN APPROACH ME WITH COACHING QUESTIONS REGARDING:

Your work and/or private (expat) life. Together we will explore and reframe your coaching objectives, involving the context in which you act and live. Perhaps you recognize one of the following questions or challenges:

• What are my attributes, talents and/or motivation? What makes me tick?
• Which direction do I want to give to my (professional) life? What is really important for me?
• I feel I am stuck at work and am not sure how to continue.
• I have high standards in many aspects of life. I would like more balance and less ‘ought to’s’.
• How can I deal with stress and establish a sustainable balance?
• Many things seem to occur to me. How can I learn to make conscious decisions?
• I am managing a team and I would like to have a more flexible, facilitating role.
• How can I effectively work together with, sometimes troublesome, colleagues and managers?
• I have moved to a new country and feel lost at times. How can I make the best of my time abroad?

By increasing your self-knowledge and self-awareness, I will facilitate you in developing a clear vision of your career, achieving more fulfilment in your job and your life, increasing your effectiveness and strengthening your inherent power.

MY APPROACH

Our coaching starts with a consultation in order to exchange our expectations of coaching and verify whether we have a match and would like to work together. This session is free of charge, without any obligation. A coach trajectory usually comprises of 5 to 8 sessions, 1.5 hours each, and involves several phases. In the initial intake session we lay the foundation for a trusted relationship. Together we explore and reframe your coaching objectives. We involve the context in which you act and live. Then, depending on your preference, learning style and your objectives for coaching, we will use different tools and techniques, such as tools from career coaching (talents, motivation etc.), positive psychology or those revealing your limiting beliefs. I also use relevant books or videos (e.g. Manson or Jeffers). Assignments to increase your self-awareness can be part of the trajectory as well.

Experimenting in practice is an essential part of the coaching. You will experiment with behaviour and new perspectives. You will actively explore some of your choices. Together we reflect on your experiences so that you can grow and work on your goals in a safe and stimulating environment.
