What to expect

Before you decide to work with a coach, take a look at the sections below to understand what kind of commitment and effort a journey like this will require from you.

​

Together we will clarify any questions you may have and dive deeper into what to expect during our initial Chemistry Conversation.

what coaching IS (NOT)

You might be surprised

  • Coaching is not counselling or psychotherapy, it is not medical or mental health advice. Coaching is about moving forward, not analysing the past.

  • It is also not consulting. A consultant does a job for you, whereas a coach supports you to do the job better yourself.

  • A coach is not a mentor giving people advice based on their own experience.

  • Coaching is a structured approach to support you in achieving the major goals or challenges you have set for yourself.

  • A Coach should not judge you, neither give you any advice, nor impose his or her opinions onto you.

  • Coaching is focused on where you are now, where you want to be, and what you will do about getting there.

what Brain-based coaching means

Your brain loves these 5 principles

  • Brain-Based Coaching® has been introduced by the renowned NeuroLeadership Institute and has also been accredited by the ICF (International Coaching Federation).

  • It delivers unique neuroscience-based, process-focused, and outcome-driven methodologies, tools and frameworks that empower individuals, organizations, leaders and managers to facilitate positive change and maximise their effectiveness. 

  • The approach uses 5 principles to effectively bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be:

  1. Self-directed learning = I will support you in processing ideas better​

  2. Solution-focused = I will help you focus on solutions rather than problems

  3. Stretch = I will challenge and stretch you to help you work at your best

  4. Positive feedback = I will acknowledge and encourage you to grow confidence and performance

  5. Structure = I will embed structure and certainty so that we can easily track progress together

Really,   Coaching is hard work?

Yes, it really is!

  • Coaching is comparable to changing your diet or training for a six pack: you need more than one session in the gym or with a dietician until you see results. Training your brain to think differently, to adopt a new mindset is as laborious.

  • YOU will be the one who is going to work. You will work hard, even harder than you might initially anticipate.

  • Coaching is a big commitment. There are actions to be done between the sessions and we will be following up on those actions each session.

  • Being challenged can feel very uncomfortable, so can change. You might experience resistance to change, self-doubt and even thoughts about quitting (more than once).

  • The good news is: most people find the times they have a coach to be incredibly personally rewarding, and they get really fantastic results.

  • Often it is not only about reaching your goals, but the impactful learning journey you will have undergone on the way.

  • You will feel proud and successful, having unlocked your potential and changed how you approach big, sometimes overwhelming, challenges in the future.
