What exactly is coaching?
Coaching was recognized as a profession in Turkey on June 29, 2013, with a history spanning thirty years.
A professional coach helps a person to develop competence, decision-making and help them see alternative ways to improve quality. In this process of working together, the common goal is to uncover alternatives for customers to improve their performance or enhance their personal development.
While COACH considers each person is an expert in their own life and work, also believes that the person is complete and whole. In a professional coaching relationship, the responsibilities of the parties are defined by an agreement.
Coaching typically begins with a personal interview (either face-to-face or teleconference) to assess the current opportunities and challenges of the individual or business, define the scope of the relationship, identify priorities for action and desired outcomes.
Subsequent coaching sessions take place in person, by phone or via web services and each session lasts for a predetermined period of time. Between scheduled coaching sessions, the individual may be asked to complete specific actions that support the achievement of prioritized personal goals. The coach may provide additional resources in the form of relevant articles, checklists, assessments or models to support the individual’s or business’ thinking and actions. The duration of the coaching relationship varies depending on needs and preferences.
I completed my initial trainings in the Erickson school of coaching. My work as a professional coach affiliated with the International Coaching Federation covers life, career and education.
Coach’s responsibilities
- To explore, clarify and align what the individual wants to achieve,
- Encouraging self-discovery of the individual,
- To reveal the solutions and strategies produced by the Individual with questions that will enable the customer to focus with deep thinking,
- To make the individual responsible and accountable.
This process helps individuals to develop their leadership skills and unlock their potential while significantly improving their views on work and personal life. To be successful, the coach asks specific questions, all starting with a goal.
Responsibilities of the Individual in the coaching relationship
- Focus on yourself,difficult questions, facts and success.
- Observe the behavior and communication of others.
- Listen to your intuition, assumptions, judgments and voice.
- Challenge existing attitudes, beliefs and behaviors and develop new ones that serve your goals in a superior way.
- Use your strengths and overcome limitations to develop a winning style.
- When learning new behaviors and experiencing setbacks, show compassion for yourself and extend that compassion to others in the same situation.
- Try not to take yourself too seriously, using humor to lighten up any situation.
- Maintain composure in the face of disappointment and unmet expectations, avoiding emotional reactivity.
- Be courageous to achieve more than before, without being afraid of constant introspection.
Coaching Fields
Student Coaching
Today, there is a wide range of opportunities in education. Among these options, it is healthier for students to make decisions in line with their own values and expectations. For students to reach their unique goals effectively, time management and focus are crucial. In addition to educational counseling, I also provide support in motivation, consistency and self-confidence through coaching sessions.
My primary goal in coaching sessions is to help students gain individual awareness for their future through one-to-one work. This awareness leads to a deeper understanding of oneself and a greater connection with one’s inner voice. These steps lead to a happier and more fulfilling adult life in their future.
Career Coaching
We all strive to achieve different dreams and goals at certain points in our lives. Career coaching sessions enable the client to fully focus on their goals and thus maximize their individual potential. Issues such as work-life balance, corporate relationships, and image management are very important for individuals who want to advance in their careers.
The work done together leads the client to meet a self that he/she did not know before. As they value themselves more, the individual realizes that their self-confidence, individual skills, and effective leadership qualities increase. When the individualized road map is followed, the client experiences the happiness and joy of taking action.
