FAQ

Coaching is a proven method and a creative collaboration between coach and client. A coach mission is to identify their clients’ capabilities, values and opportunities and work with them to ensure that they reach their full potential.

The coach’s main task is to make the client successful in their own change process. The coach helps and challenges the client to always find the answers and the path to change/ development. The important thing here is that the client should develop and increase their awareness and realize the necessary actions to move forward in their change process.

The coach is a specialist in the client’s development process that leads to new thoughts, perspectives and attitudes. Active listening and powerful questions are the coach’s main tools.

To create change, a clear goal in every conversation is important. The coach helps the client to set realistic goals, stay focused and encourage the client to move forward. Through coaching, the client deepens their learning, improves their performance and utilizes their full personal potential.

Behind every manager, leader and employee is someone even more important – the unique individual.

Through coaching, you increase your self-awareness, identify and develop your strengths and learn how to use your abilities in the best possible way.

Coaching is a method of collaboration, communication, actions and learning, which in turn enables employees to perform, succeed and feel better. A coach provide their clients the opportunity to reflect, develop and grow, based on individual goals, needs and values.

By investing in the development of your employees, you increase motivation and commitment, which in turn creates positive changes in the corporate culture, in individual well-being and in profitability.

Today, many place higher demands on their future employer. Showing that you invest in, and protect your employees, therefore also contributes to making you a more attractive and sought-after workplace.

When you onboard, you get to answer questions about yourself that generate your behavioural analysis. It forms the basis for coach-client matching. We estimate that it takes approximately 15 minutes to complete the process.

The matching happens through our ai-based algorithm that uses the behavioural analysis to generate coach-suggestions that best match a client’s behavioural profile and desired coaching area.

Criteria such as expertise and experience are also taken into account. Therefore, we ask the coaches to take their time to describe themselves professionally and well, as a coach in the coach profile when they onboard.

All our introductory meetings are 45 minutes long. Subsequent meetings, regardless of subscription, are 30 minutes long.

Our measurements of Total Potential

The measurements consist of four parts that together measure the client’s total potential:

Self-insight – Who am I and what do I want?

Self-insight is a necessary foundation for successful self-leadership and is well documented in research (including Neck and Houghton 2006 and D’Intino et al. 2007).

Basic energy – How do I feel?

Our test for basic energy is based on the stress tests used in research and treatments both in Sweden and abroad. Among others KEDS, Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale. The effects of negative stress are well documented in research and apply to consequences both for one’s own health and for effects on work.

Motivation – How motivated am I?

Our motivation test is based on Self Determination Theory (SDT) which was developed in the 70’s by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, Kenneth W Thomas and Teresa Amabile, head of research at Harvard Business School and her research.

Self-leadership – How do I get to where I want to be?

Our self-leadership test is based on research that shows how individuals who practice systematic self-leadership are more likely to perform, both in their private life and professional life (DiLiello and Houghton 2006) and among others Gisela Bäcklander, (doctoral dissertation from KTH Autonomous, yet Aligned: Challenges of self-leadership in context 2020).

There is no connection between our personalities, or our different behavioral patterns, and how successful or happy we are or can be. Therefore, it is our firm opinion that models which measure behavioural styles should not be used as a basis for this type of assessment.

On the other hand, our chances of achieving what we want increase the more we become aware of what is important to us, where we are going, our strengths, our limitations and how we affect others. The more self-insight, the greater the opportunities!
