Gaining personal insights – developing new perspectives – creating action

What is coaching?

Coaching assists people in gaining new insights on their life and work, and in developing a greater understanding of self. Based on this heightened understanding, people are able to develop new perspectives for themselves, open up new opportunities, and increase their scope for action. Our focus lies on creating greater autonomy and confidence for our clients.

When is coaching useful and for whom?

Coaching is useful in times of change or turning points in people’s lives, in their private or professional context. Coaching is for people who like tackling challenges, and who like creating their life and work actively. This could be executives, project or team leaders, employees, as well as people in their private capacity who are faced with a decision or other challenges in life.
Coaching can address topics such as leadership, performance, career, as well as personal development, behaviour in conflict, work-life balance, tapping into unused potential, and creating stronger fulfilment in life.

Coaching offers the following benefits:

• Strengthening of existing potential and development opportunities
• Setting of new goals, tasks and challenges
• Dealing with turning points and change processes
• Identification of limiting thinking patterns and blockages
• Increased ability for self-management and confident action
• New possibilities for action in professional or personal conflicts
• Solutions for leadership and management challenges

How do we work?

All CONTRACT consultants work as trainers, facilitators, consultants and coaches. When coaching private individuals or within organisations, we draw on our rich experience in facilitating leadership and management skills, personal development workshops, and facilitating organisational development processes.

Our knowledge of systemic tools and tools of Transactional Analysis is integrated in our coaching processes – through our extensive knowledge of coaching and facilitation methodologies, we are able to tailor-make coaching processes to the specific needs of the client.
Our coaching is interactive and process-oriented. Coachees develop solutions that fit their personality and situation, and can realistically be implemented. This creates successful and sustainable change.

What does the coaching process look like?

A crucial question is whether coaching is the appropriate instrument to deal with a specific topic or situation. This is clarified during the first meeting.
Once it is established that the topic can be dealt with in coaching, the respective coaching methods, goals of the coaching, number of sessions as well as coaching intervals are defined.

The subsequent coaching sessions are filled with solution-oriented interventions, discussions, exercises, measures, and transfer into the coachees’ life context. Once goals are reached or confidence regarding a topic is increased, a final coaching session takes place. This session might be the end of the coaching process, or the definition of a new focus area and goal.
