In the coaching session, there is only one client, and this client is you. To see the change in our lives, we need to start changing ourselves as this is the fastest, the easiest and usually the only way to improve things.

Although it may seem beneficial to complain about other people’s behaviour in a friendly atmosphere, this will hardly impact your life. During the session, the coach is interested in the client only and supports the client to work on the areas that are under his/her control. e.g. we cannot make our colleagues behave the way we want but we can certainly take steps that can lead to a better atmosphere or better inner feeling in the working environment.

Having a specific goal is the basis of a coaching relationship and mutual work. The goal gives us direction to follow. It becomes clear if we compare this with driving from one destination to another. There is no point in starting your trip if you do not know where you are going.

Sometimes, during the coaching sessions, some new things reveal to the client and become more evident, leading to a new goal or reformulation of the previous one. Also, each session has its own goal that, in the end, will lead to fulfilling the long-term goal.

The coach and the client agree on their work dynamics that suits client’s needs. Usually, each coaching session lasts around 45 minutes; however, it can be shorter or longer (up to an hour). Sessions can be held every 1-2 weeks but even in a wider range between them. If the client decides to continue with the coaching after the intake session, the client usually continues with 6 to 12 sessions.
