Rethinking work for you!

Coaching Services

  • Navigating through fast-paced environments, guiding a team or whole organisation through transformative changes, and balancing your own resources in highly demanding working context is not an easy job! When it comes to working with executive leaders, I integrate systemic-approaches and evidence-based methods to turn self-insight and reflection into the co-creation of tailored action plans. Potential themes for executive leaders to start a coaching journey can include:

    • Communication and persuasion

    • Managing conflicts

    • Organisational change

    • Personality, values, and purpose

  • Balancing work demands can be a challenging endeavour. A longer-term exposure to a disbalance between demands and resources is associated with lower performance, reduced wellbeing, and restricts our opportunities for learning and growth. Coaching can help to re-find balance and to discover new (or reactivate old) resources. Typical elements of these types of coaching sessions include:

    • Stress analysis and creation of resource gains

    • Stress management techniques

    • Time and self-management

    • Resource-oriented goal setting

  • Guiding through structured decision-making processes that clarify values, goals, and implementation plans might not be that easy – keeping in mind that the decision making process involves both emotional and cognitive processes and schemata that are sometimes hidden and automated.

    I work with clients to explore different options so that decisions are both thoughtful and emotionally sound.

  • Transitions—whether personal or professional—are always part of a transformative learning journey. I help clients exploring different future scenarios during this journey of learning, reflection, and self-insight.

    Coaching can create a safe space to re-focus your mind and intentions in life – where you are coming from, where are you now, and where you want to be in the future. Techniques I use during such coaching sessions are:

    • Vision development

    • Situational analysis

    • Reflective practice

    • Systematic and Socratic questioning

Coaching FAQs

  • Coaching is generally considered a non-directive process in which a coach supports the coachee in achieving their personal and professional goals by fostering self-insight and reflection. 

    The coachee is at the centre of the coaching relationship, where the coach frequently uses open-ended questions and targeted interventions to stimulate self-awareness and personal responsibility. The coach's role is not to lead, command, or direct the coachee, rather to facilitate the coachee’s own insights and progress toward their goals.

  • A standard coaching session runs for 60 minutes. If you feel there are more complex themes or dynamics that require more time for you to reflect on, you can book an extended session, which runs for 90 minutes.

  • Every coaching journey and every client is different, and so is the coaching process. Some themes only require a few coaching sessions whereas others appear more complex and need more attention over a longer period of time. In the end, it’s the coachee who decides how long a coaching journey takes, not the coach.

  • Currently, all coaching sessions are offered online via Google Meet. Recent research shows that the coachee’s perceived coaching success is not influenced when comparing online with face-to-face coaching sessions. It’s up to you to decide if you think an online coaching format is right for you.

  • No, there is no promise or success guarantee that a coaching will be successful – it would be also unethical to give such a promise! However, a coaching can support a coachee to get a bit closer to their personal or professional goals.

  • Shadowing is used in some coaching settings, especially when it comes to the implementation of action plans that emerged during the coaching process. It refers to the observation and monitoring of what’s being implemented by the coachee and can be a powerful coaching tool to evaluate the implementation success.

  • No, there are no ‘coaching packages’ you can book. As every coachee is unique, offering specific ‘packages’ would pre-determine the coachee’s mindset regarding the duration of the coaching process and/or the tools being used by the coach during the coaching session. This would be a restriction to the purpose of coaching and would speak against the non-directive element of coaching.

  • No, you can’t. A|K Rethinking Work does not offer sessions for free. Coaching is a professional service that requires significant time, training, and expertise. Like in any other profession, the coaches time and expertise are valuable.

  • No, they are different. While listening and questioning are used across these settings, coaching focusses on supporting the coachee to strive towards specified goals, whereas counselling/ psychotherapy focusses on directly addressing problems with clinical significance. Coaching is not therapy nor can it replace the need for a therapeutic intervention by an educated and accredited professional counsellor/ psychotherapist.
