In a nutshell, coaching is guiding clients to achieve whatever they want to create in their lives, whether it’s in their personal life, career, or business by asking thought provoking questions.
Mentoring is sharing a mentor’s own knowledge, experience, and skills to help mentees develop themselves and grow, most typically in a specific field of business.
“Coaching is unlocking people’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.” – Tim Gallwey
“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.” – John Crosby
Our individual coaching sessions typically last 60 minutes. However, we usually recommend that you block 120 minutes in your calendar to better absorb and reflect on the coaching conversation. After all, this is your time, your personal investment and we want to make sure you get the most out of it.
I am currently based in Switzerland but I offer coaching all around the world in Russian, French or English. Covid has brought to us a new way of living & working where Video Conferencing is the new standard. Virtual also has its benefits as it is easier to organize (e.g. during your lunch break at work). I still recommend that you are in a quiet place during the session where no-one will disturb you.
For personal coaching, you can take a 1 hour session, good if you have just one easy issue where you are looking for a quick answer. For subjects that would require more work, you can take packages of 5 or 10 sessions, for example if you wish to understand what type of jobs you would like to find.
We also offer Masterminds for entrepreneurs or business people, where we discuss and brainstorm in groups of 5 people.
