Coaching Procedure

The important thing about coaching is that it is voluntary. The coachee or coachees should want coaching of their own free will. Coaching that is desired by someone and is only done because someone else has „prescribed“ it makes no sense. In particular, the insight of C-level executives in the meaningfulness of executive coaching can already be seen as part of a change process.

According to our conception of man, man wants to update himself voluntarily, so that he can grow. Therefore, the top priority, from us, is discretion. Confidential information is not shared with anyone. Neither to a human resources department nor to anyone who pays for a coaching assignment, unless the assignment itself is paid for by the coachee. If this is not our top priority, the client will feel controlled, there will be additional pressure to perform and he will face negative consequences. From termination to „loss of face“. Under such conditions a coached person will not really open up because he is justifiably suspicious.

The coachee(s) must accept the coach and the coaching. Between a coach and a coachee, the „chemistry“ must be right. Because between a coached person and a coach, a relationship of trust must develop. Personal acceptance and trust are very important, in addition to the already mentioned factors of voluntariness and discretion. A coach must be perceived as an equal partner who is competent, has integrity and does not represent any outside interests.

The client must be mentally healthy. Coaching is not psychotherapy and cannot replace it. Anyone who is permanently impaired in their lifestyle and professional practice due to mental or physical illness requires psychotherapeutic, psychiatric or medical treatment. If an illness only becomes apparent during the coaching session, the coaching should be terminated or interrupted and adequate treatment options should be pointed out.

Openness and transparency, are extremely important for coaching. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that a coach exemplifies openness and transparency. As a rule, clients (partly) unconsciously assess their concerns as „sensitive“. The coachee(s) are usually not used to speaking openly about their concerns. Because this could mean a „loss of face“ or the thought could arise, what should the coach think of me or in a group thought, what should the others think of me. On the other hand, because it is unusual to be able to talk about one’s own ambition in an unvarnished and self-censored way, and to be able to talk about it in a completely non-judgmental way.

Therefore, it is the task of a coach to create a situation that signals, I am working for you, I am a completely independent coach, I do not evaluate, I do not manipulate, I speak openly about your concerns and also about unpleasant facts. But I expect the same from you. I don’t use false politeness, but I’m not ruthless either, I encourage you to move forward. Because I want to help you to update yourself and to develop yourself. I help you to optimize your inner resources so that you find the best solution for yourself. But for this I need to be perceived by you as this person. We meet freely, we trust each other and treat all information discussed in a session discreetly, we are honest and transparent with each other.

Important for a change is the own will to change. Coaching should not be done because it is fashionable to be coached. It also makes little sense to start coaching with the attitude that the coach is an entertainer. „I’ll listen and see what comes out“. Coaching only makes sense if you are ready to really want to change!A professional coach always clarifies the requirements for coaching and usually talks about it completely openly with the client already in the first meeting. Because our professional executive coaches are powerhouses, with many possibilities to help you grow professionally as well as privately. They do their job out of passions and are independent, so they don’t take just any job. They do not see themselves as entertainers or as classic consultants, known from other consulting fields, who usually accept any job, offering ready-made solutions and sometimes getting paid for their showmanship.
