I help my clients to bring more of courage, self acceptance, awareness about their strengths coupled with aliveness; and less of disorder, tension and stress into their personal and professional lives.
Coaching for me is an invitation to a journey. It’s a way to discover together with the coachee (YOU), your potential as well as all the aspects of your personality. Within this journey you are the main stakeholder and me as the coach is the one who’s walking next to you, not in front, not behind, but right next to you. You are committing to this journey by choosing the point of arrival, even though sometimes the final destination remains unknown.
In this manner, it’s by walking and exploring all the possibilities which the landscape of life could offer, that you could find your sources of inspiration and change. Once in a while, it will be useful to dive into the whirlpool, sometimes there will be a need to swim upstream; and in other cases one should deal with a greater challenge, by simply remaining at the wharf to prepare for another major crossing.
It’s a question of a choice and of a perspective according to the location point where you find yourself on your way. During this journey, it will be important to define or to re-define your role, to review your professional & personal path; to seize the present moment and, of course, to reflect upon the future, while using the past as a rear-view mirror.
Then one could climb the mountain, by breaking it up in smaller units, or by changing its scaling side. While walking you could admire the seasons alteration, since nothing is fixed in the nature; in that respect, in coaching, we could then understand the importance of the energy and the attention. It’s crucial to understand what fulfills you, what gives you energy and the reasons of its depletion; to clearly define to what you wish to say YES and to what you wish to say NO to. The energy flows where attention goes.
I invite you to explore together your pathway, venture off the beaten track for more fulfillment, conscious choices and emotional healing. The co-active coaching is engaging both partners: you (the coachee) and me ( the coach) into a meaningful discussion through a coaching process by encouraging deep listening, strong empathy and daring.
The ability to travel to the back of my mind, while having a reliable partner next to me, is so precious. The whole process was built efficiently, delicately, respectful of my feelings, well-being, fears and beliefs.
In everyday life, I combine several roles: mother, wife, housewife, daughter, etc. Very rarely is it possible to be alone with myself and think: who am I, what do I need?
Yanina is capable of great listening and great empathy. She knows how to pick up and question what is said (or not said) through words, gestures, and emotional signs.
The coaching journey showed me that I don’t have to run for a new job, because I realized being at the right place as a dance teacher.
The different questions that Yanina asked me about myself, my values, my strengths, my goals and the different exercises allowed me to open a new page, to have new keys.
It has been a 6-month journey, time has flown and at the same time has brought the richness of an entire life with it.
Through our coaching sessions, I realized that I am important and my life is important too, even if I did not live up to someone's expectations!
