Fluid goal oriented coaching

 

My basic principles

Coaching only reaches sustainable results where the coach approaches the themes that are top of mind for the client at that specific moment, NOW.

Therefore I create a positive SAFE HAVEN for the client to feel secure to express clearly and openly what is living inside of him. What is he excited about now? What is bothering him now?

There is no judgement. It’s OK. It’s the client’s river. He chooses freely his way.

I RESPECT him, his thoughts, his dreams, his feelings at any time.

The client sets the topic in complete FREEDOM.  INTUITIVELY we explore and discover what canal will lead him to his goal. Therefore he might feel insecure sometimes, not seeing a clear structure in the coaching process. I ask the client to trust that the GOAL always remains present.

My coaching process

Through active listening and openly and honestly mirroring back what I hear, by asking insightful thought-provoking questions we explore and discover what rocks or sand banks are blocking the way to the client’s goal.

 As we unvail his underlying themes he will gain awareness of what is withholding him. Specific coaching techniques will open him up to other options and possibilities. Who else can he be in this situation? What would help him reach his goal? As my main focus lies on working on the underlying streams, changing them from direction in this particular situation, empowers them, makes them stronger for them to overflow the coming rough parcours easier.

During the client’s inner adventure he learns from the in between highlights. By times he flows slowly, meandering and at other times he rushes rapidly through heavy currents and water falls through the mouth to the sea gaining sustainable inner strength.
