1:1 Coaching sessions with Daniela

How are we going to work together?

Solution focused coaching (Brief coaching) is based on the homonymous therapeutic method developed by Steve de Shaezer and Insoo Kim Berg in the United States in the 1980s.

The coaching process uses various tools and is based on over 25 years of practical research in the field of rapid change with lasting impact at personal and company level.

This approach suggests an important paradigm shift: if we focus on solutions and seek to do even more of what has previously worked, we often manage to move forward faster and more efficiently than if we analyse the difficulties too much and their potential causes.

The results thus obtained can be sustainable and can support a deeper transformation and generate a wider interest in continuous development.

“Problems talk creates problems. Solution talk creates solutions.”
Steve de Shazer

Some key elements of this approach

The client is seen as an expert in identifying his own solutions
We carefully explore together how clients would like their lives to be different and how they will realize that they are taking steps toward that goal
We suggest and define together objectives that can be achieved step by step
We put the spotlight on the client’s strengths and build on them
We guide the client to identify moments and actions that are already working in the direction he wants, and how he could repeat those more often

Some exemples…

Some examples of solution-oriented questions:

How would you like your current situation to change?
On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you say you are in attaining your goal?
What helped you to take a few steps in the desired direction?
If you managed to get up to 10, to reach your goal, what would be different for you then? Who else would notice this difference?
Lately, there have been small moments when you approached 10? How did you do this?
How could you realize that you have taken another step towards 10?

“Find something that works and do it more and more.”
Insoo Kim Berg

Who shoud attend?

A solution-oriented coaching process can support you when you face blockages, when you have important decisions to make, when you need new perspectives and creative ideas, when you are looking for more clarity in what you are doing. In general, this approach leads to results in fewer sessions than other methods of coaching.
