COACHING
1:1 live online coaching
As a Coach, I support those who wish to achieve personal and professional goals by developing clarity, motivation, and autonomy, enhancing individual resources and creativity.
I trained according to the standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), one of the largest associations of professional coaches in the world, and I am an ICF member (ICF Italy and ICF Global).
For me, coaching is a job based on care, trust, and pragmatism: I support people in a safe space where they can reflect, choose, and take concrete action to achieve their personal and professional goals.
WHAT IS COACHING
​
What is coaching according to ICF?
ICF defines coaching as a partnership with the client that, through a creative process, stimulates reflection and inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Each client is seen as a creative and resourceful person. Thanks to the activity carried out by the coach, the client is able to learn and develop techniques and strategies for action that allow them to improve both performance and quality of life. Coaching facilitates the exploration of new perspectives and personal opportunities, the expansion of thinking and decision-making abilities. It is also aimed at improving interpersonal effectiveness and increasing confidence in expressing the roles chosen in life and at work.
​
What coaching is not
Coaching is not consulting, it is not psychotherapy, it is not training, and it is not mentoring.
Coaching does not deal with treating pathologies, diagnosing psychological problems, solving the past, or providing advice and solutions. The coach does not replace the client in achieving goals and does not do things on their behalf. Coaching is not guidance, nor does it anticipate the client’s needs.
​
Some examples of what coaching can do:
-Enhancement of resources: the coach supports the client in recognizing and strengthening their resources, skills, and abilities.
-Action plan: the coaching process helps transform ideas and reflections into a concrete and strategic action plan to achieve the desired goal;
-Increased self-awareness: coaching sessions promote awareness of oneself, one’s behaviors, thoughts, and areas for improvement;
-Shared responsibility in a partnership: the coach is responsible for the coaching process, while the client takes responsibility for their own goals and choices in order to achieve them;
-Focus on the future: coaching doesn't work on the past, coaching focuses on future goals and the optimization of performance.
​
Some examples of what you can expect from a session:
-Definition of concrete and measurable goals;
-Focused questions that help see a problem in a new way;
-Small commitments between sessions to test changes;
-Reflections combined with practical tools: it’s not just theory;
-Shared responsibility: the coach facilitates, the client takes action.
THE COACHING JOURNEY - MY PROPOSAL
Based on my experience, my first proposal is a start-up package consisting of 6 sessions, structured as follows:
- 1 Intake session lasting approximately 120 minutes: the first actual session of the path, an exploratory session that facilitates mutual understanding and aims to define the program's objective;
-4 Ongoing sessions lasting approximately 60 minutes: in these sessions we will work together to explore and reflect, taking gradual steps towards your goal;
-1 Final Session lasting approximately 90 minutes: in which we will seal the steps taken during the journey, seeking to consolidate the strategies developed and plan a maintenance plan for the results achieved.
Note: The package is flexible; you can terminate it early or expand it by adding extra sessions based on your needs. Coaching is a personal process, and everyone has their own time and pace.
Delivery method and frequency:
- 100% online, via video call with Google Meet, in Italian language, from Monday to Sunday (from 7:00 to 20:00) based on calendar availability.
-It is advisable to maintain a weekly or at most fortnightly frequency of sessions;
What you need to participate:
Internet connection, a smartphone or PC, a quiet and private environment, a space to take notes.
FREE INTRODUCTION CALL - WHAT IS IT FOR?
Before proposing the package, I offer a free introductory call to get to know each other, explain what coaching is, illustrate my approach, present the package, and answer all your questions about methods, costs, and practical aspects.
Important: In this call, we do not perform coaching activities nor do we define the work objective: the objective definition takes place during the Intake, after the contract that will govern our coaching agreement has been signed.
