Six Effectiveness Factors in Coaching

As a Coach, my empathetic and appreciative approach creates a trusting atmosphere where you can feel safe and fully express yourself. I actively listen, ask targeted questions, and provide new perspectives to help you find your path to solutions. As a certified coach, I not only possess the necessary education and knowledge from current scientific studies on coaching, but I also integrate the following six effectiveness factors into my work to create a successful setting:

Respectful & Trusting Working Relationship: Collaborative, empathetic, and supportive.
Clarification & Goal Setting: Clearly defined goals are the cornerstone of coaching. The coach guides the process, while you, as the client, are responsible for the content.
Resource Activation: Identifying skills, strengths, knowledge, and experiences, as well as social-systemic support. The coach assists you, the client, analyze and select these resources through structured, explorative, and creative methods and helps integrate the knowledge you have gained.
Individually Tailored Approach: The coach designs the process to suit your personality and individual circumstances best. Using questions, perspective shifts, resource reinforcement, expanding awareness, and surprising creative moments, the coach provides the impetus for you to find your path to solutions.
Goal and Result-Oriented Self-Reflection: Through targeted questions focusing on goals, resources, and solution development.
Communication: Communication forms the foundation of every coaching relationship. Active listening and constructive feedback foster your developmental process

When is Coaching Beneficial?

Coaching is beneficial when you face strategic, technical, and human complexity challenges that sometimes overwhelm you. In such situations, it’s good not to be alone. Structured discussions on various life questions can help you discover competencies, gain new perspectives, and initiate sustainable development or change. Here are some examples:

Values: Which values meaningfully guide my life, and which hinder me?

My Impact on Others: How can I be perceived as I wish to be?

Important Decisions: How do I make the right decision for myself?

Self-Confidence: How can I regain my self-confidence?

Conflicts with Others: How do I handle them, and how do I resolve them?

Motivation: What drives me and what holds me back?

Relationships: What can I do when something isn’t right, even though I love my partner/children?

New Tasks or Situations: How do I best prepare for them?

No matter what concerns you or which area of your life you want to develop further, I’m here to support you, mindfully and appreciatively. You actively contribute, and together we actively shape your process – in person or via video call.

And the best part is: You already carry the solutions within you!

Consulting or Coaching?

Consulting and coaching are different approaches. A consultant, acts based on their expertise, while a coach, in the role of a facilitator, asks questions. Both the coach and the consultant engage in conversations but have different intentions. As a consultant, I require information to discuss suitable solutions with my clients. As a coach, I use questions to stimulate my clients’ thought processes. Both as a coach and consultant, I guide my clients to find solutions. Although they are experts in their fields, they may not have accessed their knowledge, or their perspective on the solution may be obscured.

I’m happy to share my knowledge with you as a consultant. This can be supportive and lead to further insights.Therefore, in each session, we jointly and consciously decide whether I take on the role of a consultant or coach.
