What do you need a coaching session for?

POSTED ON APRIL 20, 2018 BY ADMIN

Everybody seems to be talking about coaching and mentoring. Thousands of professionals offer on social media different types of sessions for people on every industry.

The coaching trend is particularly important within the creative industry, to the pont that even many coaches become billionaires quickly.

What is a coaching session?

Imagine a personalized mini-training, a small session where you can learn something that is important and relevant to you and you only. Under the entrepreneur umbrella, coaching sessions are the minimum viable version of consulting, taking a couple of hours of time and beeing highly effective.

The key is making sure that the sessions are very specific and targeted, working towards fixing one problem at a time. Usually the session is a 1 on 1 including two people, the coach and the coachee.

Who is a coach?

A coach is a persona who has knowledge in an area where someone doesn´t, and this is why they can also be mentors. Who ever is the coach must have some knowledge about teaching and some ideal of how to coach other (some popular coaching methods are Tissoc, Covey method, corporate certifications, etc).

The coach as well must be a great listener and has to be able to thread what his coachee tells them in tangible actions. This is a role that requires not only attention but also innvation, to find tools to get to results, more than just plain answers.

The coachee reaches to the solution guided by the mentor or coach.

How many types of coaches are they?

Ish. How much time we got?

Right now, most discoplines are developing coaches or people who want to help others through sessions and simplified process. Currently you can find financial coaches, or even legal coaches who help professionales in the creative industry. However, we also see everyday more health and wellness coaches who want to help people live a better life.

Pretty much, there is a coach for almost anything.

How does a coach get trained?

Learning how to coach is a long and introspective process. There are several corporate and independent classes you can take, even online. For example, I got my coaching training working for big corporations and beeing a manager for large groups of people. There I learned about empathy, profiling, leadership, personal development, and even customer satisfaction.

As well, you can take a formal class at college or universities as well as masters or postgraduate programs (I for example got certified as an Innovation Manager by MICITT – a goverment entity in Costa Rica, my home country)
