At one time or another, we all feel the need to move forward in our lives, whether it’s to achieve personal or professional goals, or to remove obstacles that prevent us from achieving them.
The first aim of coaching is to take stock and clarify objectives. The coach’s role is to support and accompany the client in achieving these goals. Through questioning and his approach, he helps his coachee to access what he wants to live and experience, by leading him to ask himself the right questions and to set up a path and an action plan that correspond to him.
The coach’s tools include active listening, questioning, feedback, empathic reflection, hypotheses and a specific framework for moving forward. The coach draws on each person’s talents, strengths and resources to help them improve their quality of life, performance, stamina, resilience, strength, confidence, etc., while also developing new know-how and interpersonal skills.
The coaching approach is targeted at identified needs and paves the way for a paradigm shift that will enable the coachee to develop effective behaviours and new beliefs that help them to act on their environment and themselves: managing their emotions when they are overwhelming, boosting their self-confidence, becoming more assertive by developing their leadership skills, overcoming stress in tense situations, improving their speaking skills, etc. These are all necessary skills for negotiation, management, communication and life!
This approach offers the coachee the opportunity to find a better life balance by developing interpersonal, communication, social and managerial skills, so that they are more empathetic and effective in their interactions. All key negotiating skills. Professional coaching will have an impact not only on the coachee, but also on their entire network of colleagues and their social and personal environment. The results are tangible and measurable in the various areas of life, because through the coaching process, the client deepens their knowledge and improves their performance.
