How exactly does coaching work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A serious coaching follows a clear structure. This is divided into 7 phases that help you to achieve your professional and private goals. We would like to introduce the 7 phases to you in the following. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 7 phases of coaching<\/h3>\n\n\n\n#1 The preliminary interview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Before you start coaching, you should first find out whether your coach is really a good fit for you. Does he represent the same values? Do you like his methods? Is the coach able to help you solve your problems and challenges? Often you can simply call your coach to arrange an initial meeting. Be brave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#2 The objective <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Once you have found the right coach, it is important to formulate clear goals. What do you want to achieve in the coming weeks and months? In which areas of your life do you want to develop further? Your coach will help you to find out what you really want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3 The as-is analysis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After you have defined your goals, we move on to the analysis of the current situation. Your coach takes a closer look at your current challenges. He helps you to solve these challenges by offering you concrete tips that you can immediately put into practice (e.g., \"How do I get started?\"). Heartbreak<\/a> Overcome).<\/p>\n\n\n\n#4 Feedback & Reflection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
As soon as you have applied the first methods, techniques and strategies to the respective topic, you will receive initial feedback from your coach. This enables you to develop a deeper understanding of your challenges and inner programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#5 Practical work<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Now that you have the methods you need, it's a matter of incorporating them into your daily routine. At this stage, it's crucial that you stay on the ball and don't lose your drive. The key word is: discipline! Because now it's about internalizing your knowledge and making it a constant habit in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#6 Performance review<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The performance review is the next round of feedback and reflection. Here it is now about analyzing your development, which you have made in the past months and weeks. What has changed? What challenges have you been able to overcome? In which areas of your life have you become better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#7 The final interview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After coaching is before coaching. Once you've had your final meeting with your coach, it's crucial that you can continue on your path to success without your coach. You should now have internalized the content so much that you no longer need to rely on your coach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Walter](\"https:\/\/greator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/greator-magazin-coaching.jpg\")
Walter Hommelsheim in a coaching conversation with a coachee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat makes a good coach?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In order to clarify what really makes a good coach, we would now like to list various characteristics. These will help you, to find an expert<\/a>who supports you in successfully mastering your problems and challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5 characteristics of qualified coaches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Many years of experience in one field <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Evidence of training for his activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Customer opinions about services<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Specialization in one subject area<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Places the client at the centre<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Conversely, there are of course also characteristics that indicate that it is a coach with low qualifications. We would like to reveal these qualities to you here, so that you can protect yourself from phonies who only want to make a quick buck off you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5 characteristics of bad coaches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Is a \"jack of all trades\" without specialization<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Can't provide real references<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cannot provide evidence of qualifications<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Conveys pseudoscientific truths<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Believes to have found the absolute truth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Coaching, training, therapy, mentoring, supervision: these are the differences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The term coaching is often not clearly defined. This often leads to confusion with other fields of activity that are similar in essence but different in practice. We would now like to tell you how exactly coaching differs from similar disciplines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coaching<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Coaching focuses on the personal or professional development of the client. Through various methods and techniques (for example neurolinguistic programming<\/a>) the client should be encouraged to self-reflect. Coaching is therefore help for self-help and thus a way to help the client to reach his full potential in different areas of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTraining <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
In a training session, the client is taught skills only (for example, self-management). However, self-reflection is not the first priority, but exercises that are supposed to help you achieve a certain goal. Here is a concrete example. Klaus H. (47) is Manager in a medium-sized company<\/a>. He finds it difficult to appear confident in meetings. That's why he learns methods in training with which he can improve his Uncertainty<\/a> can control.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMentoring<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Mentoring focuses on the transfer of specific knowledge in a particular area (e.g. method acting). Here is another brief example. Sebastian W. (22) is a budding actor and wants to conquer the stages of the country. He therefore seeks out an experienced mentor in this field. The latter shares with his new student the experience he has gained in the course of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term supervision is often used in a business context. Supervisors are experts in a specific field (e.g. controlling). Supervisors support companies in solving existing problems, conflicts or challenges. In this context, such experts try to bring various processes closer, which brings the company forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
