My Coaching Model

I have been working on the design and refinement of my coaching model, see below for the backbone of my coaching process and some more explanation:

I believe that the journey to who you really are and the discovery of what you really want is the hart of the coaching process. Through your personal experiences in life and the way you interact with the people that surround you, chances are that you have forgotten how it feels when your motivation and your drivers come from inside you. Only when you know what drives you are you able to define and achieve the goals that suit you personally.

During the coaching process you will reflect continuously on the steps you take, the goals you set for yourself, the things you achieve, your drivers and values that become stronger and make you grow.


To achieve your goals you will identify a path to close the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. This could be a plan with certain steps that you want to take or an overview where you break down your main goal in smaller and more achievable goals. And to be able to follow the path you've identified you will need to put in place some necessary structures; this could be the establishment of a certain support structure that works for you or the removal of obstacles that prevent you from achieving your goals.


All together it means that you are ready to take action, and that you are committed to change those things in your life that you decided needed to be changed in order to have a fulfilling personal and professional life. Along the way I will encourage you to celebrate your growth; it takes courage to start a coaching process and to undergo the journey to discover what you really want. You are taking responsibility for you own life and decisions, which is something to be very proud of.
