Studying history is observing the changes that human kind went through and understand our behaviour today. The process of people development, mentoring, training and coaching aim at helping a person change their behaviour and act in a different way. In order to make progress we need to understand where we stand today and what has shaped our behaviour until today; how we have behaved in similar situations; how we formed our current beliefs; what we have achieved in the past. It is our personal history that evolves within the historical framework where we are born.
The following tips are a summary of my 11 years’ experience as a Coach, Coach Supervisor and Professional Coaches Trainer.
For Maria and Yvonne, after working for a combined years of 20+ years and collectively over 350 clients around the world, it’s been a while since we’ve taken those training wheel off and in each of our ways moved to that curiosity stage of all the different components that makes coaching coaching. We wanted to share from our experiences some of the myths we hold that when we begin to explore in more detail, that there is more to consider than what meets the eye.
I was wondering what kind of dilemmas my colleagues had. I could find books about potential dilemmas but I wanted to find out what the actual dilemmas were. So my curiosity led me to partner with the EMCC Global and design the survey on "Ethical Dilemmas in Coaching Today".
The reason I am writing this article is to offer some ideas that will improve the quality of the work we do as Coaches and add value to the process.
I am a Coach and a thinker and the best thing I can do is to question everything. It is probably the only way to maintain a clear view on the events and understand them as facts before we classify them in our thinking as patterns or phenomena.
Volunteerism is a core activity of Coaching Organisations that offer pro bono coaching to communities and people in need and project teams with a (usually humanistic) purpose.
Recently I had a meeting with a company client with my business partner about a project we had delivered. We discussed several topics and at some point she told me “you have gained absolute trust from every single person in all six teams. My business partner felt proud and started praising me
In my previous article I shared our experience with our programme INTELLIGENT THINKING INTELLIGENT ACTION in Private Banking. The purpose of the programme was to bring Energy, Innovation and Action to the team in order to increase financial results. The goal was achieved with an increase in results of up to 25% in transactions.
In Leadership Development and People Development most of us Consultants and Coaches have interesting cases to share and learn from each other. I would like to share my experience of a project that was completed at the start of 2019 and I believe is really worth analyzing because of its proven financial results.
Narcissism is a topic that continually bubbles at the surface for Coaching, Psychotherapy and Leadership. If you do a quick search on the internet you’ll find millions and millions of articles and documentation on the subject.
My dear fellow coaches,
I am writing this letter to you with all my love and support to save you time and energy in the coaching relationship.
In the last few months there has been a tremendous worldwide movement revealing the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace. The “Me too” movement was in the news, in social media, in newspapers,
Practicing Coaching for years and reaching a point of maturity I have come to some observations and conclusions about what we really do when we work with people in a coaching process.
As a Coach I work with high level Executives and Entrepreneurs in developing their skills, abilities and behaviors to match the complex requirements of their roles. Developing a person is a highly demanding and very revealing process for both the Coach and the Coachee.
Most of us are fed up with instructions, ready-made solutions and all the literature about “the X steps to success” that somebody else has tried (or just imagined) and presents them to us all as the Guru in the matter of self- development and success in life and business.
When I was about 25 years old I started asking myself why I am What I am. I didn’t know what I was and even more I didn’t know who I was. This still remains a big question for most people…
