UPDATE: In order to safeguard the health and safety of all participants, this session will now be conducted VIRTUALLY
The Professional Coaching Course is a year‐long programme we offer for people who are developing themselves as professional and personal coaches. As part of that programme, we have opportunities for guests to participate as clients with students in our course. This allows you to experience one‐on‐one coaching, first hand, at no charge. This particular session is private, one‐on‐one coaching, with no observers present at any time.
As a “guest client” in our programme, you will have an opportunity to receive support in developing a new competence, getting unstuck in some aspect of your life, or opening a new possibility for yourself. The topic for the coaching is yours to choose. Topics in the past have included career direction, relationship issues, professional development, body image, learning a new skill, or you may wish to raise challenges you are facing with regard to the current world situation. Your participation also gives us a way to assess the skill and competence of the students in the course. Your feedback helps us to qualify them for certification as Integral Coaches.
The upcoming opportunity will take place VIRTUALLY using the Zoom platform. For various reasons linked to the COVID-19 crisis we have had to postpone the upcoming session which was due to take place on Saturday 4 April. The new date/times will be announced after Easter, during the week of 15 April.
There are limited spaces available so please sign up soon (below) and/or send this on to anyone that you know who might benefit from joining us. For any queries you can call Marysia on +41 78 742 97 03 or email marysia@centreforcoaching.ch
MORE INFO ABOUT THE GUEST CLIENT OPPORTUNITY
Who would benefit:
Because this is an important part of the program, we are looking for people who:
· Have a genuine interest in being coached
· Are open to revealing part of themselves and hearing a new perspective
· Can commit to showing up (and on time)
What you can expect:
You receive coaching at no charge from a student in our Professional Coaching Course. The student is learning our methodology and practicing it with you. Our students tend to be professionals with significant work and life experience. In many cases, coaching is their second or even third career.
What is needed before the session:
You select the coaching topic, and we match you with a student who will coach you. We ask you to tell us about your topic before we connect you with a coach so that we can make the best match. In 99% of the cases, the topics that guest clients pick are within the range of our coaches.
As this is a virtual session, there are certain requirements that you would need in order to participate:
- you will need to be available for the full time
- you will need a pleasant, private and quiet place or area with excellent Wi-Fi connection for this time
- you will need to have downloaded the Zoom platform as well as have experimented working with it. We will send you a link before the time, and for those who are unfamiliar, we will kick off the session 10 minutes earlier with a working demo on how to use it.
On the day:
You have two conversations with your coach: an initial one where you describe your coaching topic, they ask questions, and they get to know you. In the second conversation, they share with you what they observed and offer you a new way of thinking about your situation. In between, there is a pause when they are digesting and reflecting and you are on your own.
If you do need to cancel, we ask that you let us know at least 1 week in advance so we have time to find a substitute.
We receive many interested clients but we only have 20 slots available. If you are selected, we will be in touch with you soonest.
This virtual one-on-one coaching session is a wonderful opportunity for you to be supported as you explore what is important to you, so click on the registration button below if you are interested in joining us.
