Who is concerned ?
Coaching focused on the person :
Anyone who wants to :
- evolve and mature,
- develop one's potential and one's performances,
- make the necessary changes in order to reach a higher level of well-being and/or a desired evolution (stress, time, emotional management, relational conflicts, ability to speak in public, self trust...).
Coaching focused on the situation :
Recommended for adaptation to change (new products, restructuring...), team cohesion (integration of a new member...), the
success of a project, crisis situations, managerial conflicts...
The philosophy :
Two hypothesis guide and lead the coaching process :
- The way we communicate with ourselves and with others determines all what we achieve in our life.
- Everyone has the inner resources required to make the changes one needs in order to blossom, develop one's potential and fulfil oneself.
Unfortunately these resources are not always within our reach since they often are buried in our unconscious. The coaching enables
these resources and abilities to flow back to the conscious.
It also allows to acquire other resources (learnings, knowledge...) and aims at releasing our potential, pushing boundaries away and
making ourselves autonomous.
The " ordinary " man exploiting only a tiny part of his brain's potential, the advantage belongs to whom has a different mental control...
What is coaching ?
Coaching is to accompany the emergence and development of the
potential and know-how of individuals in a company, in high-level
sports or in one's personal life.
What is a coach ?
It isn't a trainer who transmits tools or methods or an adviser who brings expertise nor is it a psychotherapist.
It is an adaptability facilitator and a teacher of autonomy (accompanies the coachee so that he finds the inner resources to reach his
objectives by himself).
He is successively :
- guide (he creates an environment in which the coachee feels secure and a work frame),
- trainer (he encourages and stimulates),
- teacher. (he teaches how to learn),
- mentor (he is a model),
- sponsor (he acknowledges the worth of a person at identity level and enables the expression of this potential),
- awaker (he awakes the person, through his benevolent presence, to the freedom to be oneself).
Coaching and the coach's deontology :
- Bound to professional secret.
- Account may be given to the hierarchy but only within the limits established by the coachee.
- It is forbidden to exert any kind of influence abuse.
- Obligation of means (create the ideal conditions), but not of results (it is the coachee's responsibility).
- Clarity on the methods utilized.
- Refusal of a mission is possible if the coach doesn't succeed in validating the coachee's request.
- The coach must be supervised by his peers.
