Celebration

/ serbanchinole / One comment

Back in 2004 I was browsing the Internet and I found an article about coaching. Being curios I read the whole thing with surprise and resonance. For the first time in many years I felt connected to a missing element from my practice. At that time my consultant career included several projects in major companies and working with managers and sales forces.

First step was to seek some seminars online, more on how to market yourself as a coach, however the shift in my believes regarding consultancy and training versus the new and mysterious coaching was not coming.

I asked Steve Mitten,MCC how can I see this and he suggested to sign in for a Fundamentals seminar in person in San Rafalel, California and this was the moment I had been missing for a life. Needless to say or describe my feelings and new perspectives after this  introductory seminar, since than I had only one goal, to seek new results for me and with my clients.

My first client hired me in 2005, his goal was very important for his new life in Canada. I visited him in 2008 and I saw the house from his vision in reality, all the accomplishments that he had in a few years. I know that coaching is working because I can notice my changes when I receive coaching, so I decided to celebrate my progress in coaching career today.

Let me explain: This year ICF(International Coach Federation) celebrates 15 years of existence and we organize as local chapter the second ICF Romania conference with global speakers and Balkans participation, more than 100 persons in audience.

My contribution to this celebration is a special offer for all the friends and interested persons who can hire me for a month minimum at my original fee from 2005!

Why? Simple, today I was announced that I reached the PCC level (Professional Certified Coach) and I want to celebrate with my new clients at an affordable rate for them.

This celebration will be on a first come, first served basis, limited to 3 months, coaching done via skype or phone. I want to thank all my existing clients, and looking forward to continue the journey.

Co-active marriage

/ serbanchinole / 2 comments

I dedicate this post to my wife Raluca, also business partner, coach and friend.

We both graduated in 2007 Coaching Training Institute, and I remember how I sold her the idea, in the first two days of her Fundamentals, she called me saying that coaching is not for her. In the last day, somehow she recovered and became motivated to continue.

The context for starting a new career was not very good, she was busy with our daughter Ana, and thinking on going back to her corporate life.

First clients were enough to make her change her mind, and despite the tough and unknown market, she is now coaching C-level and High Potential executives.

How easy is to be in coaches family? Well, if we just ask each other using our tools, action does not take place, is just like having two opposites forces. The good part is that we can agree on our commitments and have precise boundaries.

In my last working group, in a coaching exercise, when I shared my project for this year about ICF Romania 2nd conference, one of the managers asked me: so, Serban who is organizing this event, my wife I answered, and everybody laughed, and then I was asked: what about you?

My answer was: I am in charge with strategy. So it is nice for me to design a nice plan and ask questions the project team, but  I am confident because she is in charge.

How to Become a Professional Coach

/ Ioan / One comment

I still recall the days I went to my first CTI coaching training. CTI approach is to help you absorb what is like to be a coach through an experience.

Woaw, what an experience. I was shattered by that experience. I found myself with the choice of getting to be a COACH. At that time I was a successful salesman at Microsoft. I chose to be fulfilled over comfort and to grow by being a coach.

It was quite a journey. A hard stretching one. If I would have known how hard it is, I would have considered more before leaving the comfort zone. But here in the learning zone is the place where the growth happens.

After more than one year I managed to have my record revenue month. Besides the personal coaching I am having I  coach a team of Sales Management Executives in one corporation and there is one more about to be signed.

What helps you?

Choose the right niche, built a strategy, use your inner strengths exercised wherever you live and be in constant contact with your spiritual part.

Now guess what are some of the coaches biggest problems?

  • Clients, how to get them? How to choose a niche and how to deal with it?
  • Find resources that would make the human in the coach and  client transcend all these problems?
  • How do you coach in the corporate world?

Does any of the above sound familiar to you?

If you are curios how to get to be a professional coach, how to coach in the corporate world and how to tap into the infinite resources reservoir you are at the right place, in the right moment. Join us at the International Coaching Federation – Romanian chapter 2010 conference. If you consider that you want to get the answers click here.
