Creating Impact And Facilitating Positive Change Through Coaching

How was the experience? The coaching program was really intensive, but also personal with different kinds of activities that challenge your perspective of how to do coaching and also challenges yourself and develop yourself into becoming a better coach. It is a really good combination of practice activities, but also discussions among us. It’s not just a trainer-facilitated program, but also a peer-to-peer facilitated program, so we had a lot of interesting experiences within the team doing activities together and demo coaching together. And we had a lot of homework, so I think it’s a really complex program that can help you a lot in developing your competencies.

What is the most important thing that you learned? I think one of the most important things I learned during this program is one of the key concepts that really stuck with me: trust the person in front of you and see the hero in your client. That was a really important aspect because I had consultancy experience before going to this module of coaching and you are just used to telling clients what to do or consulting them or giving them the solutions, whereas from now on you should start listening to them and actually help them find their own solution and just trust that they have their own solutions- they know it. Event if it’s obvious for you and for them not yet. So this was one really important aspect that I think is crucial for being a really successful coach: see that in your client. And trust that he really does have the answers, you just have to be patient and be there with him, along his side.

What is the biggest change that this program brought? Changes I actually felt on more than one level. I felt it personally. I feel that I grew a lot with the competencies that I developed, the core competencies of a coach. They grew me as well in terms of communicating and in terms of understanding people- so the way you relate with people, and that goes into your professional and personal life. I saw myself grow in dealing with clients and my family. So all of this, this questions ... I can answer that it affected me on a big, big level.

Why would you recommend this program? In the first place I think this is a great experience to develop yourself and definitely learn new things and yes- why not, to help others!

What did you like most about the program? I think what I liked the most was the fact that it had a lot of exercises. It was a hands-on experience all the way. We got the concepts, but everything we learn, we learned from experience. And before we use any coaching tool with our clients, we use it with ourselves and we see what is happening and I think that’s important.

How did you interact with the other participants? This was a great element in this training. Very interesting people participated, and it was nice to have inputs and to share experiences with people that are working in training, learning and development, managers, people coming from the IT area. And the dynamics of the group was full of joy and full of interest to develop our coaching competencies. Besides the trainers, I got a lot also from the participants in terms of competencies and sharing with our peers this incredible journey.

The training is really good, and I really recommend CoachCompanion. First because you become a better person: you understand yourself better, you know your values, you know what you want to do, you follow your passions and you develop your intuition and it’s very beneficial for you in the first place. In the second place it’s very, very beneficial for the people around you, because when you become a better person, then everyone round you becomes better. And because you become a professional coach with high standards, and you know what you are doing, then you can help a lot of people: clients, family friends and basically everyone around you. You develop your communication skills, you know how to listen, you are present, you are more mindful and you are really armed with a toolbox that can help you everywhere: with your client, with the people around you and you really develop yourself as a person and also in your career. If you want to become a better coach and want to help a lot of people, then this place is for you. You can come here and develop yourself through the CoachCompanion programs and they will really help you develop as a professional and certified coach and you will be very glad you did this. Thank you very much and I look forward to seeing you here!

The CoachCompanion experience was so great for me because it’s not only about learning how to become a coach, it’s about discovering yourself and discovering how to guide and help other people reach their goals and make a change. I met so many great people here, had a lot of nice and deep experiences. Big “thanks” for my trainers and I love being here; it’s a sweet moment for my heart!

I liked the fact that we had a chance to practice and put into action all the exercises that we learned in the program. It was amazing to have the interaction with the colleagues. We had a lot of opportunities to learn from each other, to discuss each step in the process and I also enjoy Maria’s guidance throughout the process and her being there to tell us about the most important things in this program. I also liked the energy and atmosphere during the classes. It was warm, welcoming, safe and it really helped me exercise all the steps for reaching this coaching goal for me.

I am really happy that I decided to attend this program because I really took a lot from it, not only on a professional level, but also on a personal one. I learned a lot about what it means to be a coach and I also learned a lot about myself. And this was just as valuable for me. I believe this will be something that will help me in the future: in my career and my personal life.

I was looking online for a guide to help me reach my potential. And I came across CoachCompanion, which is an institute that helps you realize your dreams basically. Maria guided us through this workshop. I had a lot of ideas and did not know where to start from and with the help of this workshop and her coaching approach (which is basically asking questions, not giving advice; it’s more about guiding) I could unravel a bit of that chaos that was in my head. She helped very much through this workshop to give me a better idea on how to approach my goal, what to do first and where to go next and I think I might actually take some coaching sessions as well because I feel like I need a guide along the way to pursue my goals. And CoachCompanion is precisely that, it guides you to reach your full potential and work even better than you already are to reach a higher level. When you feel like me: “There is so much more in me that I don’t know!”, Maria can bring it out. You should definitely check out their workshops and programs: you ca find a workshop for you, also if you want to become a coach yourself or you want to send your employees to a training because you think they can grow. It’s all about growth! And I think you never stop growing or learning in your life.

For me this program was a super great experience. I met some extraordinary people and it helped me develop tremendously so thank you for that! I had so many questions about coaching my exercise clients and I really needed her guidance! This service gave me an amazing coaching experience and helped me tremendously develop as a future coach! I'll certainly recommend this service to anyone might be interested in benefits of coaching.

This coaching program was one of the best programs I’ve been participating to. I recommend it to everyone who wants an improvement on every level, whether it’s personal development or professional life. I think it can really contribute to your growth!
