I cannot teach anybody anything.
I can only make them think.

HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Coaching is sometimes compared to Socratic dialog. There is truth to it, to the extent that you’ll hear your coach ask many questions, and give little advice. However, there is more to coaching than just questioning. In order to help you find new ways to see and do things, your coach will often use other creative approaches, as necessary.
Coaching is a solution-oriented process whereby your coach helps you clarify your goals, explore possible options, devise a realistic action plan with measurable results, and work out your plan. Your coach considers you to be the expert of your own life and job, while his contribution resides in his expertise of the coaching process. He stimulates your imagination to help new solutions emerge, and helps you put them into action.
Coaching unfolds inside a definite framework. Sessions are limited in number and in duration, depending on your intended goal: typically 3 to 9 sessions, lasting 30 to 90 minutes each.
