more about coaching

What is coaching?

  • An interactive process where a coach guides and facilitates the client’s progress towards defined goals and desires to change something in their lives.

  • Coaching helps to define where the client wants to go and gets him/her there faster and more easily than if they worked on their own.

  • A coach uses purposeful and insightful questions to help the client discover their own “best way forward” or to find and confirm their own answers.

  • With the support of a coach, the client can make clearer judgements about situations, make better choices and decisions and take effective actions.

  • Coaching is a collaborative partnership where the client is the expert in their life and the coach is the expert in the coaching process.

  • The main focus of a coach is the present and the future, a coach does not give advice and does not fix anything. A coach is objective, non-judgmental and can provide you with valuable feedback.

What coaching is not?

  • There are some similarities between coaching, mentoring, consulting, therapy and counseling; however there are many differences. All these disciplines will have a slightly different perspective on how and what each seeks to achieve.

  • Coaching is not about telling you what to do, manipulating you or pushing you into something you do not want.

is this you?

what can you get from coaching?

Clients report improvements in many areas, depending on the issue discussed during coaching. In general, you will feel more confident, clear on what you want and what is important to you, you will progress on things that you always wanted to do, faster than if you were working on your own, you will change beliefs and habits that are preventing you from being completely happy. These are just a few of the benefits.

 

I work with those who have recognized that they want to change something in their lives because they are unhappy, unsatisfied and unfulfilled and they are seeking help to facilitate this change because they do not know what they want to change or how to change it.

are you interested in working with me?

  • You can request coaching via the following channels: the enquiry form on this website, mobile (+34 634508123) or in person.

  • 1-2-1 coaching consists of an individual session between me and you, face-to-face in a place in Barcelona (Spain), that we agree in advance. When I am in the Czech Republic, I could meet face-to-face in Prague or Teplice. If you would like me to travel to your location, anywhere in the world, all expenses incurred would be paid by you.

  • Individual coaching sessions last from 30 minutes to 1 hour. In order to achieve desired results, a series of coaching sessions is recommended (4, 6, 8 or more sessions). Usually, coaching takes place once a week, but can be adapted to each personal life style.

  • Internet/Telephone coaching consists of an individual session between me and you, via telephone or the internet (i.e. Skype) with or without a web camera. This style is suitable for you if you do not want to or cannot travel. From the comfort of your home you will call me at prearranged times and it can be a very efficient way for both of us.

  • Group coaching consists of a group of 3 – 30 people. This is usually for teams who are coached at the same time, via workshops.

    Group coaching sessions last between 2 – 4 hours, or it can be agreed to have a half or full day workshop.

  • I also provide support via email, telephone or the internet in case you do not want individual sessions and need a quick feedback or check whether you are on the right path.

  • I organise seminars, courses, workshops and talks related to any topic of personal growth and development, e.g. happiness, consciousness, health, spirituality, communication, motivation, self-confidence, courage and what we can do to achieve our personal goals and improve our life. I may also introduce a new technique, method or tool that can be useful for you or I may organize an event for the body and mind such as yoga, meditation, healing, etc.

  • These events are led by people willing to share their knowledge of a certain area. I also invite special guest speakers who lead specific courses & workshops for you.
