There is a change afoot in society. The role-model of the lone ranger, is gradually becoming inadequate as the only guiding character to lead people to great achievements.
There is growing recognition that we live in an interdependent world where synergy and co-operation play as great a role as competition, and knowing where to get help when needed is seen as as valuable a skill as solving a problem independently in isolation.
Where has coaching come from?
Coaching has emerged as a powerful tool for supporting people to move into high performance and fulfillment. It originates from the sporting world. It is one of a plethora of ways of getting support and assistance in your path to greatness. (In our model we integrate coaching with other tools and techniques. See more about this under the description of our core personal transformation model.)
What is the philosophy behind coaching?
The cornerstone of coaching is that the client is creative resourceful and whole. There is not an assumption that the client has a problem. People rise to challenges all around the world on a daily basis. The human being is capable of incredible feats.
Most people however people do not tap into their real potential. The coach uses his/her processional skills to help the client to reach for more in order to achieve a deeper level of fulfillment as a result of living a life in synch with her/his values and purpose.
When we combine coaching with other techniques, we have a model in which you are able to move forward, but in which you are also able to resolve blocks that stop you from stepping into your potential. This means you can make quantum leaps in your change project.
Does receiving Coaching mean I am not capable of making progress alone?
The challenge of making actual changes will never be taken from you! It is only you that can rise to these challenges. The coach will simply remind you that these challenges exist and will invite you to step forward towards them and via the coaching progress enable you to rise to those challenge more quickly and with less struggle you will reach your goals faster.
"Most of us share the myth that if we accept support we diminish our own achievements…somehow help looks like…a personal defeat. But if we stick with this line of reasoning, we become old before our time…You don't have to do it alone! Support is all around you . . .and connecting with it will allow you to do things the easy way" Maria Nemeth, pHD.
There is no top-performing athlete that is not surrounded by a host of world-class support. This does not diminish their genius; on the contrary - it allows it to emerge and they are very aware of this. For example, Tiger Woods is surrounded by experts of different kinds. His coach is not necessarily a golf champion, but he is an expert in helping people to fulfill their potential.
For who is coaching appropriate?
Coaching is used by executives, employees, freelancers, CEOs, politicians, activists, parents, teenagers and directors.
For what situations to people typically use coaching?
People who have decided they want to make a change or who are at a crossroads.
People are serious about investing in themselves and have a belief that it is possible to fulfill their potential and are ready to commit to themselves. See more about common coaching situations and topics here.
In making a commitment towards coaching you are making a commitment towards yourself. You are sending the message to yourself that your mission is a valuable one and that the world will be better off with it manifest now and that you are serious about making it happen. Yes this is a bold claim. But if you don't make this stand for yourself and for your spirit, who will? Coaching is just one of the different ways of committing to yourself on this level and we will not claim that it is a panacea to world problems. But if you are open to it, you have a chance to go into a much higher gear and to reach your goals more quickly and with less struggle
