WHAT IS COACHING?

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now some of you are thinking 'how does that work then?'. 'How can you help me if you don't know what I do?' Well that is because coaching is not training, consulting or mentoring - I am not there to pass on information. You have already been trained to do your job and I am there to ask questions and help you to think differently - to unlock possibilities and increase your results.
If you think about it, that is why so many executives have coaches. They do not want to be told what to do, they want to think for themselves with an independent thinking partner who just asks them questions and acts like a mirror.
If you want to be told what to do - this is not the place to look
A note that I received....I worked with Jill on one specific, burning question. Jill used Brain Based Coaching and together we addressed the question. Visualising my different options and going deep on the advantages and risks has helped me to clarify my objectives and to hold the space without needed to take a decision at that point in time. Jill gave me the tools to take a helicopter view of the situation, using a holistic approach which corresponds to my own thinking. Her warmth and deep interest in the other, allowed me to open up quickly and to benefit wholly from her experience and the Brain Based Coaching technique. Thanks a lot, Jill, for discovering these key insights. Tatjana von Bonkewitz Luxembourg August 2020
