In todays world more and more people are making their own way. This is why we have coaching.
In business men are typically on thier own, except in rare cases. Maybe this is why most often people don't like to try and work through everything on their own. And perhaps this is why other methods for finding yourself, which are done rationally and realistically, but do not analyze. This method is coaching. What is this coaching? - We ask Agnieszkę Przybysz from the Coaching Instirute in Warsaw.
In business, there is a new modern method of running it. It relies on the individual approach to workers, recognising talents & potential and then motivating. This alows better communication and allows for more precise assignments to be completed faster and workers having to be fired less often. Promising careers are found through Personal Coaching, which is one of the methods to 'find your true self'. When you are having a session with a trainer, clients are helped to make goals for life and find the best way to make them happen. The trainer motivates them to take this road, and this leads to changing your attitude. Thank you to the coaches who help do this.
Can't I direct my life without the help of a coach?
Sometimes you need outside help, to use your belief in yourself and to take life into your own hands. It happens that sometimes moments of motivation hit you, but it is difficult to act of them, they occur but they are situations with no end. It has also happened that someone went so far into merely thinking negative thoughts about themselves that they couldnt find the strength to make the necessary changes. And sometimes they simply feel that thier life is going in a pointless direction when in reality, they aren't missing anything. In these moments, a coach helps by using your goals and your life to motivate you into standing on your own feet, and to fing balance between your life and career. A coach doesn't judge, they see the situation, and give you the tools. This is a very practical method and always works.
How does coaching vary from other self-help methods such as therapy and consulting?
Psychotherapy is about what is wrong with the patient and fixing it, all in present time. Coaching is about who you are and pressing you for the future, sortining out your priorities, goals, and the road you take to achieve set goals. As for a consultation, a coach differs from them as they take an individual approach with each person. With a coach, each person is an expert about themselves, they have in them each answer. People only need help to find this.
The Sessions?
On the first session we set the contract, where we put down the goals the client wishes to reach and the times we shall meet. Sometimes people will come to us, already having reached their goals, but lacking direction, sometimes they only know that they want to change something in their life. Setting the direction is very helpful and easy practise for reality. It lets you objectively look at your goals and what you've achieved and how pleased you are with these aspects of life: career, relationships, health, material status, home, free time, and rest. The clients decides himself which area he wants to work on and what his goals are. It can turn out that that he will have different ideas now then he did in the beginning. He came to us because he was depressed but after this excercise it turns out that his personal life needs work. I can say that the important thing for him is a change of scene and this way he can see that what he needs to work on is material status. A good coach knows these things but most importantly also has good intuition. The coach should be open and honest. I often share positive visions and communication. Thanks to this excercise, we can construct thoughts and stop negative feeling from getting in the way. As it is exactly this that forms blocks that stop you from changing for the better. Thinking good about yourself is exactly what causes the best and biggest changes.
Even million dollars?
I had an case in my career. This was a foreign client. Thanks to coaching he reaffirmed himself, opened his own business, became occupied with the immovable and within a year reached a capital of a million dollars. He now does what he was made to do. In my opinion this method is incredibly useful because it takes into consideration all aspects of your life, it doesn't ignore anything and it brings your attention to other things you may miss. It helps people uncover their true talents and generate success on many fronts: mental, emotional, spiritual and material. - speech, Tatiana Cichocka
