In workplace, the pursuit of professional satisfaction needs self-reflection and continuous personal development. Coaching has emerged as a fundamental tool in facilitating growth, providing individuals with tailored support to navigate various aspects of their careers.
What is coaching?
Coaching and mentoring can sometimes be confused since both activities bring experience to the table and are ways of supporting professional development. People often give little thought to their true meaning and often used the terms interchangeably.
Mentoring this involves someone with experience in a specific skill or technical knowhow sharing that with someone less accomplished. The mentor could be someone more senior in your organisation, a colleague at the same level as the mentee or perhaps someone outside your own company but in the same industry who is willing to support.The mentor will explain how to achieve things and provide guidance.
Coaching here the aim is to help you to find ways to develop yourself. The coach’s role is more of a facilitation than guidance role. The coach uses powerful and empathic questioning that allows you to reflect, stand back from doing and see different perspectives and possibilities on immediate issues but hopefully also carries those alternative ways of thinking into solving future challenges both in and out of the workplace. The coach has no need to bean expert in the topic that the you as the coachee is trying to solve.
What is the benefit of business coaching?
Business coaching gives you a safe space to explore, with the guidance of your coach, your career challenges, unblock barriers and empowers you to find your own solutions. Often the real issue is not actually the first one you think of. They will use careful questioning to help you unpick the problem and finds steps towards a solution or in some cases acceptance of the situation you are working on.
I want to help you become fulfilled, autonomous and able to think through dilemmas and problems by using some self-analysis and self -awareness.
