Life Coaching
Sometimes it happens that the amount of problems that we have to face in life piles up. There is frustration, a feeling of powerlessness and lack of life energy. We lose our sober judgment of the situation and distance to ourselves. We have the impression that we have reached a dead end.
Sometimes we just need support. None of us are heroes. And the ability to wisely ask for help is valuable in itself. In fact, only strong people can ask for help and are not afraid that it will be considered a weakness. A life coach can be very helpful in getting you back on track and enjoying your life.
Life Coaching - when can it help you the most?
We meet so that you can get to know yourself and your own needs better, define your values, find answers to difficult questions, and develop a specific action plan. Often the crux of the matter is to ask yourself the right questions first. For example: what is important to me in life? Sometimes you need to take a step back if only to see the situation better, see new opportunities, and gain momentum to act. Actions in the right, consciously chosen by you direction. This will definitely help in better defining the problem you really want to solve and the goal you want to achieve. And it will greatly accelerate you on the path to achieving these goals, especially personal goals. Not to mention that thanks to the work of the coach there will be a noticeable increase in the quality of your life.
As the International Coach Federation, the largest international organization associating professional life coaches around the world, writes, "Coaching is accompanying the client in a creative process that encourages thinking and inspires to maximize professional and personal potential."

Who is Life Coach?
A Life Coach is a professionally prepared person who helps the client define goals to be achieved in the area of personal development, supports the client in designing a plan that leads to the achievement of these goals, and accompanies and motivates during the implementation of the plan.
It is a person who helps you get to know yourself better and realize your personality, needs, and personal values. Life Coach is also a professional who helps to identify limiting beliefs and illusions (both about yourself and about the surrounding world) and reformulate them into more beneficial ones for the client. It is also a trusted companion who helps in solving various life problems, overcoming obstacles encountered, and going through significant change. A life coach is also someone who supports the client to see the possibilities and alternatives that the client does not see himself.
It is very good if the Life Coach is a life-experienced person himself. He has experienced a lot, he knows that life can "play various tricks" and it is not always possible to find a simple answer. It is essential for him to be a person with the highest level of ethics, to have a professional and constantly improved set of skills, and at the same time to be an empathetic person, curious about the world and people, and full of humility.
Life Coaching - rules for running a session
Each of us is unique. Therefore, our approach, especially to Life Coaching, is very individual. The duration of individual coaching sessions is also adapted to your needs, your personality, and the topic you come up with. In our work with the client, we usually agree on this during the contract concluded during the first free introductory session, and it is you who decides about it.
The general rules are as follows:
-
sessions last 1-1.5 hours. In special cases even longer,
-
we meet regularly once a week. This rhythm is very important,
-
the price of one hour of Life Coaching is EUR 100 + VAT,
-
conversations take place using secure instant messengers (e.g. Zoom, Skype, Google Meet),
-
we work from Monday to Thursday. In exceptional cases, it is possible to arrange a meeting on another day of the week,
-
in our cooperation, we can also use Psychometric Tests, which help us better understand ourselves and significantly accelerate our development progress.
The work of a life coach is not intended to imitate or replace psychotherapy. If we decide that the help of another specialist is advisable, we will tell you about it openly.
Being a life coach means gathering experiences that teach humility, sensitivity, and caution. Completed postgraduate studies are not enough. Each client is like a unique painting in which unique combinations of colors and shadows intertwine. Each cooperation with a client is an extremely individual journey. So you won't hear from us simple and only right recipes for a happy life - each story is unique in its kind.
However, what we can promise you is work according to the highest ethical standards (e.g. International Coach Federation) and supervision of our work and, if necessary, consultation of the life coach's work with specialists in the field of psychotherapy. It is also about using effective tools and skillfully guiding you to achieve your goals.
