Coaching

A process which releases human potential. Individual development brings benefits to an organisation as well.

What is coaching?

In Assets & Skills Consulting, we understand coaching as a process during which a Client strives to achieve a desired developmental goal. It is a process based on mutual trust and partnership relation. Clients themselves create solutions. On the other hand, a coach has tools which help a Client find those solutions.

The essence of coaching consists in providing support for a Client in making independent, intentional changes or changes agreed upon with their supervisors. This process triggers human potential, therefore, individual development brings benefits to an organisation, which can develop more fully, strengthen its competitiveness on the market and achieve specific business goals faster. Coaching is an investment for a company in permanent and long-term development of its organisation, as well as employees who are valuable for this company.


How to introduce coaching in an organisation?

Assets & Skills Coaching - coaching in an organisation The best way is to start with the highest management or an entrepreneur. It is beneficial for them, as the first coaching recipients, to increase the effectiveness of their work in an organisation. This will help them to strengthen the company both through developing their competences, as well as creating appropriate approach. Such experience can be used in two ways: to recommend the coaching process to the members of their team, or introduce coaching-based management style.

In Assets &Skills we provide holistic coaching, which acknowledges that a person's functioning and their results are significantly influenced by their beliefs, ingrained habits in thinking and acting, hierarchy of values and a sense of identity. And each of these factors can increase or decrease the effectiveness of Client's actions, in every aspect of life.

What benefits does coaching bring?

  • Expanding self-awareness, goals, conditions and situations in which a Client acts, and decisions that they make.
  • Increased use of natural resources. Taking responsibility for one's future and for shaping it in an active way.
  • Finding new perspectives, better understanding of one's own thoughts, emotions, actions, as well as people in situations which happen around us.
  • Removing internal barriers (e.g. beliefs, attitudes) as well as external ones (e.g. peer pressure) in the process of achieving professional and private goals.
  • Changing current way of thinking and managing activities, including the ways of building relations, communicating, types of applied management tools, communication methods, changing emotions, e.g. how to deal with stressful situations, etc.
