An coaching process<\/strong> is a service that is contracted in order to obtain professional accompaniment from\u00a0a coach and extraordinary results<\/strong>. Like a tennis player has a coach or a native teacher to learn a language. But what is done in a session, what is it for, how does the coach work, how long does a coaching process last, and most importantly, what is coaching?<\/p>\n

Introduction: What is the purpose of a coaching process?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We have all felt stuck, trapped or longing to achieve something that seems too difficult to achieve on our own, on our own. To move forward, in our professional career or to develop ourselves personally in an exponential way we can all choose to hire a coach and start a process of individual coaching.<\/p>\n

The coaching process allows us to incorporate the vision of someone external (the coach) by sharing our points of view, our beliefs and our fears or resistances. The idea is to try to refocus our thinking, find new possibilities for action and achieve better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Brief definition of coaching<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Coaching is a discipline, a philosophy and a methodology.<\/strong> that unlocks people's potential through communication and leadership skills. It is a way of being in the world that leads us to become more aware<\/strong> of what we think, feel and say.<\/p>\n

Coaching can help improving self-awareness<\/strong>: to get to know our strengths, weaknesses, moods and emotions <\/strong>and allows us to choose how we respond to certain situations in our daily lives.<\/p>\n

Coaching also helps us to improving relations with others<\/strong>\u00a0and be happier, because the quality of our relationships has to do with our capacity to building trust<\/a>, <\/strong>and trust is usually worked on in any coaching process, directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n

Finally, coaching encourages us to become more agile by connecting us with an openness that increases our creativity and our adaptive capacity<\/strong> to uncertainty.<\/p>\n

Executive coaching is a vital attitude that executive coaches embody at its best when they are in session.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Definition of coaching process<\/span><\/h2>\n

An The coaching process is the framework within which the relationship between coach and client takes place.<\/strong>. In other words, a coaching process is a sequence of agreed meetings,<\/strong>\u00a0is the number of sessions or private conversations between the coach and the client (also known as coachee).<\/p>\n

It is a relationship that is limited in time, it does not continue indefinitely but has\u00a0start and end date marked<\/strong>. This is a substantial difference to psychological or therapy processes, which can last for several years. In this sense, in the coaching process the focus is on the person's future and that is where the work is done. The coach sees the person in their current situation and accompanies them to their ideal situation, but does not look into what happened in the past to get them to where they are today, but focuses on a very specific aspect that is in their future.<\/p>\n

Thus, the aim of the coaching process is for the client to achieve a very concrete challenge <\/strong>that you announce at the beginning, something specific that you clearly want to achieve and that is in your future. And the process is always done with that goal in mind and will end when it is achieved.<\/p>\n

In this relationship or coaching process, the coach will not provide solutions<\/strong>He is not going to interpret, he is not going to judge, he is not going to give magic recipes. The coach walks hand in hand with<\/strong>\u00a0work:<\/strong> customer to discover new ways and new actions to achieve his or her goal.<\/strong> in a context of security and confidentiality.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2.1. Characteristics of the coaching process.<\/h3>\n

The processes are divided into sessions and progress through certain stages. The sessions are private and confidential<\/strong>. However, in some organisations there may be tripartite sessions to which the client's manager or HR manager is invited.<\/p>\n

In all cases, the conversations and everything expressed in the sessions of a coaching process stays in that meeting and is not shared, and this is something that EEC coaches defend at all costs, as indicated in the ICF Code of Ethics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2.2. Roles within a coaching process.<\/h3>\n

Coach and Coachee. The coach.<\/strong> The coach accompanies the client to achieve his or her goal and, to do so, puts the coaching tools at his or her service: he or she listens to the client, asks questions and makes him or her reflect. First, to understand what is happening to the client and how they are interpreting what is happening to them. And then, to generate the change they need to achieve the defined challenge.<\/p>\n

The coach makes an effort to enter the client's world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The certified professional in executive coaching masters the coaching tools and with them leads the session, but does not direct it. The coach acts as a taxi driver and takes the client where he\/she tells him\/her to go, at the speed he\/she decides. His job is to stop where there are bottlenecks and to untangle doubts along the way. His commitment is to challenge the client.<\/p>\n

The client or coachee<\/strong>. He is the absolute protagonist of the process. He\/she is the one who marks what he\/she lacks or what he\/she has too much of and who decides where to go. The client, throughout the process, designs his future in relation to a very specific aspect of his life and turns to the coach to make use of all his talents.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2.3. Duration of a coaching process.<\/h3>\n

On a regular basis, a coaching process can last between 6 and 10 coaching sessions.<\/strong>. As mentioned above, the duration is directly linked to the achievement of a specific challenge. The sessions of the process are usually convened more often at the beginning, once a week, and more frequently thereafter, every 15 days or once a month. In this way, a 6-session process can last four to five months.<\/p>\n

In terms of format, the process can take place in person, online or even over the phone, as it is a conversation. However, in this case, as the coach is not able to observe the body, he or she will have to be even more empathic in listening to capture the client's emotions.<\/p>\n
