A typical coachee is motivated, open to dive deep and do the work
for their personal and professional growth
They tend to face some challenges or new opportunities in the organization, that require space for reflection and development – in a safe space with someone outside of the organization.

What Coaching is NOT?
Coaching is not THERAPY: Even though coaching can help to tackle burnout and increase mental strength, it is not a substitute for a qualified mental health professional. Coaching is future-oriented and goal-focused, whereas therapy often goes more into the person’s history. If the situation requires, we might refer you for additional help.
Coaching is not MENTORING: The coachee is the best professional of their life and we believe all the answers are already within. We do not give advice or guidance in form of mentoring. Coaching focuses on asking questions to raise awareness and helps the coachee in making educated choices. The coachee is responsible for working towards their success and coming up with options that suit their situation, as well as taking responsibility for themselves.
Coaching is not a quick fix: Coaching is hard work. Engaging in challenging discussions and being vulnerable can get uncomfortable. This interactive process includes answering tough questions, reflecting, and being open to making changes. Coaching has the potential to take you to your goals, however, it doesn’t come without putting in the work and effort.
Coaching is not surrogate LEADERSHIP: Coaches help to develop skills, that help the staff grow in their roles. Coaches are often external to the company. The leadership responsibilities such as decision-making on the company’s behalf and giving performance feedback should not be delegated to the coach.
