QUELQUES OUTILS DE COACHING À DÉCOUVRIR...
FAQ ABOUT COACHING
What is coaching?
Coaching focuses on future possibilities, not past mistakes.
Coaching is a partnership between the coach and their clients, designed to inspire reflection and creativity to help them unlock their personal and professional potential.
The goal of coaching is to unleash someone’s potential by helping them develop greater self-awareness and self-confidence.
To support this transformation, coaches rely on two key elements:
- The art of connection, which involves building a strong relationship with the client to help them achieve their goals, sometimes by shifting their mindset or developing new skills.
- The art of maieutics, which is about guiding the client to uncover their own solutions, enabling them to achieve concrete and measurable results in their personal and professional lives.
There are many types of coaching, whether individual (for private clients or employees) or group-based (for teams or organizations). Coaching can be applied to numerous areas: sports, public speaking, leadership, personal growth, and even life coaching.
⚠️ Important: Don’t confuse therapy and coaching! A coach isn’t a therapist. Some professionals are trained in both, but it’s crucial to distinguish between the two.
Therapy often involves exploring the past to better understand the present:
- "Why do I act this way?"
- "What past experiences shaped my current behaviors?"
Coaching, on the other hand, focuses on the future and taking action to achieve specific goals:
- "What’s holding me back from getting what I want in the near future?"
- "What resources can I use to move closer to my life goals?"
In short, coaching is a partnership that empowers you, helps you achieve your goals, and rebuilds your confidence. It’s a journey toward a fulfilling future and deeper self-discovery.
And the role of a coach?
A professional coach helps people achieve their personal and professional goals. They’re trained experts who work closely with their clients to identify strengths, weaknesses, and objectives.
Think of it as having your own personal ally who’s there to help you make your dreams a reality—whether in your personal life or your career. A professional coach creates a safe and supportive space where you can freely express yourself. They ask insightful questions to help you better understand yourself and define what you truly want to accomplish.
Together, you’ll build a concrete and realistic action plan. You’ll have clear steps, timelines, and ways to measure your progress. Your coach will guide you through challenges by helping you find solutions that genuinely work for you.
Throughout the process, your coach will be your biggest supporter. They’ll help you develop your talents, push your limits, and take action to fully commit to your goals.
It’s important to note that your coach won’t tell you what to do or make decisions for you. Instead, they’ll encourage you to be autonomous and take responsibility. They’ll guide you toward self-reflection, help you make informed decisions, and motivate you to take action.
In short, your professional coach is there to help you succeed. They’ll support, guide, and encourage you every step of the way. With a relationship built on trust, a clear vision, a solid action plan, and ongoing support, your coach becomes your partner in achieving your dreams.
The coaching process
A coaching journey typically starts with an initial session.
The purpose of this first meeting is to discuss what you’re looking for and your coaching needs. It’s also a chance to get to know the coach and see if you feel comfortable working with them. You can ask any questions about the process and what the coaching sessions will involve.
This is a really important moment because it helps you determine whether you feel a sense of trust and connection with the coach you’ve chosen.
Once your coaching begins, the sessions generally follow this structure:
- Defining your goal: Together, you identify the specific objective you want to work on during the session, which will guide the entire process.
- Exploring beliefs and barriers: You’ll look into the beliefs and obstacles that might be holding you back, as well as the resources and opportunities that can help you achieve the results you’re aiming for.
- Exploring options: You’ll brainstorm different ways to reach your goal.
- Planning next steps: Finally, you’ll decide on the actions you want to take to move closer to your objectives.
The coach might use various techniques and tools, such as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Transactional Analysis, meditation, hypnosis, and many others. Everything is tailored to your needs and the coach’s expertise.
Don’t hesitate to reach out directly to the coach you’re considering working with. It’s so important to have a conversation, ask all your questions, and get a feel for their approach.
Talking with the coach is the best way to form your own impression of their personality, expertise, and how they can support you in your journey.
