What is coaching?
Coaching is a process of positive change, development and success. It is a one-to-one process, which enhances your abilities to perform and achieve to your highest potential. Coaching is a systematic and formalised, yet highly personal, method that mixes tried techniques for change with personal growth techniques and practical tasks. Coaching is a guided process which releases resources and potential and ensures advancement so that the client gains clarity as regards to who they are, what they do, where they are going and why. The methods used in all forms of Coaching are fundamentally based in Neuro Linguistic Programming.

Because coaching is a personally guided one-on-one process it helps the individual reach new levels of clarity, remove limitations, access their inner wisdom and find a sense of purpose.

"Success is the result of good judgement. Good judgement is the result of experience. And experience is often the result of bad judgement"
--Anthony Robbins, The World's number 1 Coach and voted one of the World's 10 most outstanding people

What is a coach?
Put quite simply, a coach is a "Personal success trainer". A faithful professional - part mentor and part challenger - who specialises in the field of development so that people are able to excel in business and other aspects of their lives.

A coach creates a safe place to share insight and information, and is completely impartial. He/she will use different methods for the client to reach success and higher levels of clarity. The coach assists with removing the barriers that stop people from achieving and enjoying life. With a coach in place there are advantages for the individual and also for entire organisations because the results are: higher job satisfaction, vision, higher levels of energy, improved health and higher quality of life.

What is the difference between a coach, an advisor and a therapist?
A coach focuses on action, not understanding. They work towards responsibility for emotions and they help develop realistic plans of action. They challenge the client by asking difficult questions (in contrast to most therapists) and they shed new light on old situations by means of, for example, role-play. They even give you tasks to do. A coach is completely aware of the important questions clients and organisations meets and they assume success in the role as business partner. They use practical methods to achieve lasting results.

Historically, coaches and mentors have existed for centuries. They may have used other names, but they have been there - either to improve individual performance or team spirit, or to be accessible as guide, mentor, teacher or coach. p> It was in the 1980's that coaching took on an official role in the business world and the techniques that were used came primarily from Neuro Linguistic Programming. (NLP). NLP is the technology of how we perceive the world through our 5 senses, and it has been described as a "User Manual for the Brain".

Over the last 20 years, people who have wished to develop personally or professionally, have sought out coaches to help them - and it has worked.
Initially it started in the Sports world, but the news of coaching's effectiveness spread quickly and the industrial world soon followed suit.
Regardless of what the problem is - Coaching is there to help.

People developed, mastered new skills and achieved much more than they could ever have imagined. Businesses flourish and individual and organisational outcomes were co-ordinated.

Coaching
A one-on-one procedure for the creation of positive and lasting changes.

Coaching is a formalised one-on-one procedure, created to develop potential, release resources. enhance performance and co-ordinate individuals within an organisation. It is a systematic process for change which uses tried techniques and practical tasks. By working one-on-one, coaching is able to work on deep and personal questions at a much more profound level that group training or seminars. Coaching is a process developed to help people lead themselves and it helps the clients reach clarity in who they are, what they do and where they are going.

How can coaching help my organisation?
Coaching brings people together and leads them towards a common outcome. Areas where positive change is desired, or where there's potential for development are areas where coaching can be highly beneficial. The individual starts to feel a new sense of value and will start to perform his/her task because they understand the importance of their own role, rather than that "the boss demands it". People start to own their own results and they push themselves to higher standards.

Individuals who participate in coaching programs through their work tell us that they believe their company cares about their well-being because they are given help towards personal growth and positive change.

Can a company that is already running well benefit from coaching?
Absolutely! Most healthy organisations develop a coaching programme in order to prevent problems and enhance performance. Because coaching is a one-on-one process, it keeps everyone on track in a very dynamic way.

The benefits achieved from coaching manifest themselves in an organisation in many ways, ranging from greater harmony in the work place to higher company outcomes. But we take it even one step further!

Coaching offers, quite literally, return from investment from day one and you will still have control over how you wish to control your team or organisation. How does the coaching process work?
Firstly we gather information from the client via telephone or e-mail, then we organise a meeting with a Coach - as far as it's geographically possible. Then, through a combination of telephone calls and/or online meetings, data is collected about the areas that you wish to change or better. Obstacles, which may stand in the way for your personal development are identified. Visions and dreams are identified, object outcomes are set and a plan of action is created and implemented. Coach and client work together in order to achieve success.

Where people work together, coaching can help. Amongst our main areas of work within a company are: Team building, leadership, negotiations, reduction of stress, sick-leave, responsibility and self mastery.

How long does coaching take?
Because coaching offers a client specific procedure alongside dramatic and lasting changes we recommend a minimum of six months. Most of the time the organisations will place their employees in an 18 months program in order for the changes to be integrated and enhances with focus on the vision of the organisation.

Coaching is followed through by way of meetings, online dialogue and telephone conversations.

Is my privacy guaranteed?
Absolutely 100%!! Our coaches are neutral, third party individuals outside of your organisation. There is a secrecy policy, which is signed as a part of our contract. Our coaches have no other agenda than the absolute success and well - being of our clients!

"To dare is to loose foothold for a while. Not to dare is to loose oneself."
--Soren Kirkegaard

For us at the Paradigm Academy it is important that a coach has skills and abilities to assist their clients at a deeper level and in all areas of their lives. That the coach can work therapeutically and understand how energy connected to the past can be released is essential in order to achieve a positive result. In addition to career and finance we also place great emphasis on the areas of health & well-being, family & friends, emotional life and last, but not least, spirituality. We believe that focus on these areas is essential in order to be a successful coach. Additionally our coaches focus upon IQ - Intelligence quotient, EQ - emotional quotient, AQ - adversity quotient and SQ - spiritual quotient or rather "The Ultimate Intelligence".
