What is the difference between training, mentoring and coaching?

As mentor I will share with you my knowledge, skills and experience, to help you grow and develop in a specific area. On the other hand, as a trainer, I will train you in specific skills or attitudes through a structured training session. Finally, as a coach I will use powerful questions to guide you through your own thinking process and help you develop your own answers and solutions to your challenges or objectives.

What is the best place for coaching sessions?

I offer both, face-to-face and virtual coaching session. It is you who decides which setting suits you best. In any case, it is important to choose a calm and conducive environment for your coaching sessions. For executive coaching, I prefer to meet my clients at least once at their workplace. For team coaching, I prefer to meet my clients at their workplace. In some cases, an external setting can be conducive for teambuilding activities. By the way, have you noticed that I offer outdoor coaching sessions to step out of your usual environment and take a fresh look at your life or work situation?

How long does a coaching relationship last?

The average coaching relationship lasts between six months and one year. It is important to understand that coaching is not a one-off event but a change process during which your coach helps you to develop and integrate new ways of thinking, new ways of being and new ways of doing things, which are aligned with your objectives and your deeper self. I will guide you in every step of this process, push you to implement change in between coaching sessions and make sure that you succeed in achieving lasting results in your professional and private life. In average, coaching sessions last around 60 minutes and take place every 2-4 weeks, giving you enough time to test and implement the actions you agreed with your coach.

What is the difference between a coach and a therapist?

Coaching is solution-oriented and focuses on the future, which allows to overcome and transform issues and challenges of the present. On the other hand, a therapist is someone who supports you to heal your past and work on your mental health and emotional wellbeing. In sum, coaching is for  individuals that are basically healthy but who wish to unleash their full potential, to overcome issues in their life that hold them back and to engage into a process of change to achieve their professional or personal objectives.
