Coaching

You want something different but don’t know where to start. Or you feel you are not getting the best out of yourself. Or you get stuck on a personal or business level.

There can be all kinds of times when you could use someone beside you. To help you start seeing your own potential (again). And to feel. And believe. To start taking the next steps in your life and development.

If you want to talk about that, call or email me for an informal introduction.

Business coaching is a form of coaching that focuses on improving the performance and development of individuals, teams and organizations. The purpose of business coaching is to develop skills and competencies necessary to identify obstacles and find solutions to overcome these obstacles.

There are different types of business coaching, including executive coaching, team coaching and personal coaching. Executive coaching is aimed at managers and is often used to increase the effectiveness of their leadership. Executive coaching focuses on the development of leadership skills, such as communication, decision-making and strategy.

Team coaching focuses on improving collaboration and communication within teams, with the aim of improving the performance of the team as a whole. This can be done, for example, by developing better communication and conflict resolution skills or by jointly drawing up goals and strategies.

Personal coaching focuses on individuals. This can address both business and personal obstacles that hinder the client’s performance. A coach can help develop skills such as time management, stress management and self-confidence.

A business coach can be engaged by individuals, teams or organizations who want to improve their performance and achieve their goals. Coaching can help identify challenges and barriers and work with the client to find solutions to overcome them.

The benefit of business coaching is that it enables individuals and organizations to improve their performance and achieve their goals, while also learning to better deal with challenges and obstacles that come their way. Coaching helps develop skills to communicate, lead, negotiate and innovate more effectively.

A good business coach is able to motivate the client to take action and make the changes necessary to achieve the desired results. The coach provides feedback, support and advice, while the client remains responsible for his or her own development.

An organization can determine what type of business coaching it needs by starting by identifying its specific goals and challenges. It is important to know what the organization wants to achieve and what obstacles stand in the way of this.

The organization can then investigate which type of business coaching best suits the specific needs and objectives of the organization. This can be done by researching different coaches or coaching programs and looking at their specialties and experiences. It is important to select based on the objectives of the organization and the expertise of the coach.

It can also help to talk to others in the industry about their business coaching experiences and ask for advice from professionals in the field. This way, the organization can get a better idea of what type of coaching is needed and which coach best suits the organization.

Finally, it is important to remember that business coaching can be tailored to the specific needs and goals of the organization. It is therefore important to continue to communicate openly and honestly with the coach about progress and any changes needed to achieve the desired result.

  8. Focus on Results: Working with a business coach allows an individual or organization to focus on the results they want to achieve and finding solutions to achieve those results.

When a business relationship unilaterally canceled existing agreements, this led to an immediate conflict situation and also to logistical problems. Petra first spoke to both parties separately. Based on this and by digging deeper, creative solutions emerged. Petra then organized a meeting with both parties. In this session a solution was jointly chosen and the sting was removed from the personal conflict.

Professionally distant and at the same time intensely involved. This is how I experienced the coaching by Petra. During the outbreak of the coronavirus, I was overcome with intense fear. In three telephone sessions, Petra got me back on my feet, although she emphasizes that I did this myself. She literally guided me outside with (telephone) walking sessions. I can now breathe freely again, sometimes even cheerfully and carefree. Thank you Petra!

The coaching I received from Petra has been a starting point for me on an endless journey through a beautiful world called ME. I have become aware that my own mindset and how I feel about myself determines my behavior and how I experience my fellow travelers. For me personally, this has resulted in a more natural balance as a person, not just as a professional or as a leader. I would like to give this gift to anyone who is ready and dares to look in the mirror with Petra.
