PERSONAL COACHING FOR PROFESSIONALS

IS PERSONAL COACHING FOR ME?

Are you a professional person, business manager or work in a business role? While personal coaching can help you in different moments of your professional life, the applied methodology is well suited for situations where you would like to make changes and feel that need support and a discussion partner. For example, if you would like to:

• Strengthen your ability to deal and adapt to change, and to implement changes
• Build clarity on where you want to go and how you want to develop
• Better communicate and engage in complex situations with your boss, colleagues, or clients
• Strengthen your self-confidence, so that you can stop worrying what other people think of you, stop avoiding certain business situations, and be confident to undertake changes
• Define and understand what success means for you, what’s important for you and how you can reach your full potential
• Would like to undertake changes in your current or in a new role, but you are not sure how to do it
• Be able to better communicate your ideas, be heard and not be ignored
• Manage frustration and stress in your professional life
• Build clarity on setting limits, expressing your needs, and when to say No
• Weaken your fear of speaking in public, so that you can have a larger impact on public settings and presentations
• Would like to reinvent and transform your current role but lack clarity on how to do it

Through personal coaching, I accompany you in finding and implementing your goals, by helping you to reconnect with your inner strength, so that you can make thoughtful decisions in calmness.

My coaching approach differentiates from others, in that it incorporates techniques from alternative therapy fields (e.g. Mental and emotional deprogramming, Kinesiology, energy therapy) to help you identify and remove inner obstacles, and strengthen your ability to make the desired changes.

Benefits from a personal coaching program

A Personal Coaching program with me will:

• Accompany you to discover your own personal answers and solutions
• Allow you to understand old habits that are no longer useful, identify beliefs and emotions that are holding you back from doing what you want to do
• Strengthen your positive personality aspects, such as, your self confidence or ability to take decisions
• Transform your limitative beliefs, emotions and old behaviour patterns, so that you can undertake the changes you would like to do
• Provide you emotional support and understanding, by being listened and accepted without judgement
• Support you and accompany you in situations where you may need additional support, such as, a restructuring, career transition or a new role
• Help you to alleviate the stress and tension involved in the situation

HOW IS A PERSONAL COACHING PROGRAM WITH ME?

During a coaching program:

• Problem situations are discussed and worked together,
• Limiting factors are blockages are identified and released,
• Perspectives developed and new approaches tested

The first session focuses on determining if my coaching approach is right for you and if there is a personality fit. What I am looking for is your openness to self introspection, to undertake changes in your life and to the different strategies and alternative techniques that I use for coaching.

Each further personal coaching session is structured in four blocks. It starts with a conversation with you in relation to the coaching topic; understand the topic in detail, how do you see it and feel about it, how does it affect you, where does it internally resonate with you, which emotions and obstacles you perceive, and your ability to manage the situation. The methodology for the first part of the session focuses on framing the issue together with you, so that you can consciously understand the topic, and identify any involved beliefs and emotions. Kinesiology testing is used to support the identification of inner obstacles.

The second part of the life coaching session aims to raise your awareness and consciousness on the points identified in the first part. This is done by supporting you through a discussion to look into yourself at the involved emotions, beliefs, inner obstacles, or any other identified relevant aspect of the situation.

The third block consists of applying alternative therapies (e.g. mental and emotional deprogramming, energy therapy) to weaken and release inner obstacles and blockages that are holding you back in the situation, transform negative emotions, and strengthen your ability to make changes.  

The last part of the personal coaching session consists on a discussion focused on possibilities to reframe the issue, see it from different perspectives, and develop new perspectives and approaches, so that you can undertake positive steps and actions until the next session. It also gives the space to test new approaches that can be rehearsed together. The session finalizes with a discussion on agreed actions to undertake until the next session. Each further coaching session follows up on your evolution and changes in relation to the coaching topic from the previous one. Each session lasts for 1’5 hours (80 minutes).

Which techniques do I use on a personal coaching program?

In the coaching sessions I use a variety of alternative techniques individually adapted to each case:

• Emotional and mental deprogramming
• Energy therapy to remove blockages and strengthen your ability to make changes
• Meditation
• Kinesiology testing to identify together with you the inner obstacles, emotions and beliefs, that stop you from making your desired changes
• Emotional rebalancing techniques

The techniques are combined and integrated within each personal coaching session.  For example, through the discussion, and supported by kinesiology testing, we may have discovered that fear of failing is blocking your effectiveness. After discussing this fear, then I may use first a meditation to help you strengthening your inner calm, and thereafter emotional deprogramming to weaken and release this fear.
