What can you expect from coaching? Will it suit you? Will there be a “before” and “after”?
Here’s a glimpse of a recent case to help you decide.
The client: a co-manager of a family farm
My role as coaching role involved accompanying a career decision: stay or go.
The stakes
A woman at a crossroads in her career, seeking for work-life balance, with a desire to develop her skills, her posture and her positioning within her peer group.
Choazan’s proposition
- Individual coaching: 10 hour-long sessions, via videoconference, to fit the client’s schedule.
- Create and maintain a safe, welcoming space, in which the client could take the time for reflection, feel supported, championed, inspired, and open up her horizons.
The results
Rapid breakthroughs as deeply-held values and motivations surfaced. The client came to me feeling in a position of inferiority and a vague desire to quit. Session after session, she incorporated her skills and legitimacy, and an ambitious, motivating new professional path came to light, coupled with a personal project she had not considered before. Instead of having to choose between A and B, she found she could have both. She decided to stay in her role, having realised she could also find fulfilment in her non-professional activities.
Our added-value
- A coaching style that champions the client, believing in her ability to find her way – without advising or cajoling.
- Questioning beliefs and certainties to lift the veil on unseen possibilities.
- Creating the conditions for true connection, even at a distance, and adapting to the client’s needs in terms of schedule and pace.
