What is coaching?

 

O QUE É O COACHING?

O coaching Coaching provides personalized and consistently-focused help to individuals to reach their life and professional goals. It helps people to focus and develop tools to improve essential skills: self-motivation, drive, confidence, empathy, creativity, and emotional resilience. These are capabilities that are needed both in life and professionally. Coaching is a process consisting of focused conversations to create an environment for individual growth, purposeful action, and sustained improvement.

The technique of coaching assumes that:

It’s possible to improve self-knowledge.

It’s possible to improve new ways of thinking with fewer limitations and constraints.

It’s possible to improve our understanding of the other and deal better with conflicts (not running away from them).

It’s possible to acquire and develop new capabilities and tools for living and working.

It's possible to be more creative.

It’s possible to be more proactive.

It’s possible to improve performance.

Em suma, que é possível mudar – e para melhor. Tanto como pessoas como profissionalmente.

 

O QUE SE PRETENDE COM O COACHING?

O coaching Coaching is a tool designed to get observable results in the short term. Its purpose is to improve performance and well-being through self-realization and self-confidence.

 

COMO SE PASSA?

O coaching é uma técnica que se dirige à área cognitiva da mente. Não  tem nada de misterioso, muito menos de esotérico. O coach profissional ouve, observa e faz perguntas. O objectivo das sessões de coaching é negociado com o cliente, sendo estipulado um plano e um prazo para a obtenção de resultados. Resultados concretos, observáveis, a nível da atitude e do comportamento.O processo de aprendizagem compete ao próprio cliente, sendo o coach um parceiro neste caminho. Entre estes dois parceiros deve ser formulado um compromisso, em termos dos objectivos a alcançar e do tempo necessário para tal.

 

A QUEM SE DESTINA?

O coaching Coaching is about empowerment and having more control over our own lives. Everybody who wants to improve self-knowledge, confidence, and performance is a candidate. However, one must have insight (or develop it) and be willing to face blockages and fears.
There’s not an ideal age for coaching. Problems may differ, but both a young adult and a senior professional may benefit from acquiring these tools and skills.

 

QUANTO CUSTA?

The coach and coachee agree on a coaching plan during the first session. Establishing a price without knowing the number of sessions it will take to get visible results is challenging. It depends on the main issue to be dealt with and its depth. However, eight to twelve sessions is an average in terms of the number of sessions needed to get real changes.

 

E OS QUE ESTÃO DESEMPREGADOS?

The cruel irony is that people in unemployment situations need even more to develop skills, self-knowledge, and a proactive attitude.
A Clearmind sabe o que se está a passar no país e propõe-se apoiar financeiramente aqueles que quiserem levar a cabo um projecto sério de coaching. No entanto, não estamos aqui para dar pancadinhas nas costas de ninguém: coaching é empowerment e o que se pretende é que os clientes melhorem as suas capacidades e aumentem a sua autonomia.
