Coaching as a miracle weapon or …?
It seems that I have used this site mainly to define coaching by what it is not. And since I finish writing the introduction, it becomes apparent to me. What coaching does in practice is strongly influenced by the people involved. The interactions between the coach and the client are always unique. This is how the effect of good coaching unfolds. A first meeting will reveal what I mean.
What is coaching?
Once upon a time… When I came into closer contact with the term coaching, it was still unknown in Germany. With the turn of the millennium that changed. The form of support, which was largely unknown in Europe, became more and more popular. And as is so often the case with trends, more and more products and services wanted to benefit from coaching. Since then, the term coaching has meant everything and nothing, it has been used inflationary. Sometimes the coach is more of a consultant, trainer, therapist, sometimes a motivation guru, a mentor, and at other times he is even in a more exotic role. Almost every branch today uses the term coaching. What comes closest to the original idea of coaching is what I now call classical coaching.
The agony of choice: mentoring, training, advice, or coaching?
Long live freedom of choice:
Always act in a way that increases the number of choices.
Heinz von Foerster
Which approach leads to the desired outcome?
Do you want to personally develop yourself, make good decisions, master challenges, and improve your situation? How? There is, for example, coaching in a variety of forms, training, counseling, and mentoring. And then there are the many names: Coaching, life coaching, personal coaching, personality coaching, business coaching, leadership coaching, executive coaching, entrepreneur coaching, NLP coaching, systemic coaching, career coaching, mental coaching, philosophical coaching, brief coaching, lunch coaching. Well, which way to choose?
Options
- Advice: An expert reveals how to do it.
- Training: A trainer teaches skills through practice.
- Mentoring: A role model accompanied by experience and networks.
- Coaching: systemic coaching, classical coaching, NLP coaching, …
One option: classic coaching
Classical coaching helps you clarify the situation and to choose the right solutions for you. Classic? Much of what is now called coaching is not coaching, but rather training, counseling, or mentoring. This may be alright because depending on the topic and goal, all these ways are justified and you have the choice! Here are a few thoughts to help you decide.
My motto in classical coaching: You don’t have to change who you are, you have to become more of who you are.
Characteristics and advantages of classic coaching
Compared to the other options, there are rarely any direct solution recommendations in classic coaching. Here your self-reflection is in the center, your perception ability is increased. Instead of getting ready-made solutions, You get helpful questions leading you to your answers. With support, you explore the perspectives, gain additional insights, and thus recognize the variety of options for action yourself. This makes it easier for you to take on responsibility, to decide freely, to shape it.
Conclusion
Is classical coaching better than other support? It depends on what you intend and what is the right path for you personally. You have a choice when to choose which option in which combination for which goal. Know your priorities. When we work together, we clarify the framework. Enjoy that there are options, use the best ways for you and your goals.
Typical topics of my clients
If you want to move the world, you should first move yourself.
Socrates
All right, let’s get started.
Some goals of my coaching clients
- Feedback
If you want honest and constructive feedback or are looking for new insights and additional perspectives. - Coaching for your decision-making
Decisions are often the occasion for coaching. Although I do not take that from you as a coach, decision-making makes it easier to make good decisions. - Activate your own potential
We gain so much experience over time, but in some situations, we can not access it. Knowledge and skills are waiting to be recognized and deployed. - Prepare important conversations
Whether in private or business life; some conversations have relevant consequences. It is always good to be well-prepared for a conversation, but some situations require special attention. - Shaping the future
Where do you want to go? What should be retained, what should be released, what changed or redesigned? What lures you out of bed? - Personal development
If you know yourself well, you have a good starting point for your own further development. - Build and maintain relationships
Use the power of relationships. Build a network. - Stop self-sabotage, resolve fears
Many of the painful experiences or beliefs that result can cause problems in later stages of life. Very often people do not achieve their goals – or do not set any desirable goals – because they mentally sabotage themselves. - Master life crises and change
Nobody is immune from changes and strokes of fate. Master life crises, overcome losses and realign oneself. This is easier with a coach. - Constructively resolve personal conflicts
- Leadership presence
Effective leadership requires knowledge, expertise, and trustworthiness, but equally vital to your success as a leader in the way in which you are perceived. Increase your leadership presence so that you and your messages are convincing. - Freedom of choice
Gain freedom of choice through a systematic approach and the right attitude. - Stop damaging and debilitating behavior
Even helpful patterns of thought and behavior can become obsolete and then have a negative effect. - Dealing with setbacks
It’s about dealing constructively with setbacks. How do you learn from the feedback it provides and move forward? - Career planning
Clarity about goals, priorities, and strategies for your career and career decisions.
For these goals, clients often come from distant places or use online sessions:
Let me help you to convey your messages brilliantly, navigate media interviews effectively, deliver presentations and speeches that move people to action, and pitch to investors powerfully and effectively.
Your coach
Since 1998 I am self-employed as a consultant, trainer, and coach. Until then, the terms coach and coaching in Germany were largely unknown. Since then, I have remained faithful to the idea, even though I have specialized in helping people present themselves and their message convincingly.
Coaching is based on very personal cooperation. That’s why you can learn more about me on these pages and in my profile.
