Coaching
What I offer:
Online or face-to-face coaching sessions (individual or team coaching), following International Coaching Federation standards.
ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity, and leadership.
We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we’re striving to overcome, and times when we feel stuck. Partnering with a coach can change your life, setting you on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment.

When and why you might need coaching?
For organizations coaching is a method for improving performance, a vital ingredient to empower employees to take control over their development and growth. Coaching supports transitions into new roles, retains and motivate key talents, develops current and potential leaders, facilitates onboarding of new leaders, enhances employee engagement, improves retention, increases accountability, and promotes overall well-being, among other purposes.
For individuals coaching is a tool to approach and improve work and life challenges, unclear situations, difficult decisions, set goals, work and personal relationship, and many more.
Examples of topics to work with during coaching sessions:

Coaching is not a therapy: I don’t go to the level of traumas to cure them. Coachee owns the process and decides when to stop and how far to go. All discussions are confidential.
Coaching is not mentoring. The coach never gives advice but works as a guide for the coachee's own thinking process.
I can provide coaching session in two different languages: English and Russian.
My strengths as a coach
-
Substantial professional experience in the domain of well-being, stress management, and resilience;
-
Leadership and project management experience in large organizations;
-
Understanding the context of the business leaders and researchers;
-
A variety of tools and methodologies to help the coachee approach his/her situation from different perspectives.
In my coaching sessions I prefer to follow the British Eclectic coaching model. “The British Eclectic Model is an approach to coaching which synthesizes tools, techniques and frameworks from a range of approaches to helping people initiate and sustain goaldirected personal change. The coach maintains a focus on the client, the coaching process as a whole, and the client’s context, and in response to what he observes in relation to any or all of these elements he selects a way of working with the client that seems to him appropriate and likely to be effective”.
