Holistic coaching… what is it ?
Definition of a
Holistic Approach to Coaching
Holistic coaching is a systemic approach
that views the client and the issues they raise
as an integral part of a whole, a system
Holistic or Systemic, what difference… in a nutshell ?
A systemic approach involves studying a system by taking all its components into account to describe it fully.
The holistic approach posits that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, much like teamwork, where results far exceed what each member could achieve individually, thus creating synergy.
Holistic coaching therefore uses a systemic methodology to support clients in uncovering effective and harmonious solutions.
Work-life balance is a prime example where a holistic approach is absolutely essential
Holistic coaching thus takes into account the client’s entire “system,” including their body, mind, emotions, the environment they interact with, and their relationships within that environment: family life, professional life, colleagues, superiors, company culture, hobbies, and so on.
The coach is also part of this dynamic system. Thanks to this systemic,
However, the coaching work extends beyond the sessions themselves. Between sessions, the client will “digest” the impactful and profound experiences encountered during coaching, allowing them to progress more rapidly and bring new insights to explore in the next session.
Meanwhile, the coach will adjust their tools from session to session based on these experiences. Systemic coaching thus promotes continuous mutual contribution and highly productive co-creativity.
Coaching… being supported
Being supported by a coach is a way to explore the potential buried deep within and elevate it to its optimal performance level. It’s about discovering who we truly are and becoming capable of moving beyond the self-imposed limits often formed by habit. The coach guides their client through a positive spiral, with the client’s full agreement and active participation.
Coaching addresses a wide range of challenges encountered in daily life, both personal and professional. It’s like an incubator for ideas—energy-driven and solution-focused.
Neither therapy nor mentorship, coaching aims to develop optimal, personalised solutions targeted at the goals you set!
Coaching… where?
Sessions are typically conducted through personal video conferences via Zoom, MIcrosoft Teams or Skype. This highly effective method also offers a significant time-saving advantage by reducing travel.
However, it’s also possible to organise sessions in major cities across Switzerland or abroad if this proves beneficial or necessary. Don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss your needs
Holistic coachomg… for whom?
My clients — executives, entrepreneurs, and independent professionals — benefit from considerable life experience. Reflecting on their professional growth, these men and women feel a strong need to take stock, reorient their future, gain fresh momentum, and write the perfect next chapter of their career.
Coaching… how?
Coaching is conducted through individual sessions lasting between one hour and an hour and a half, along with personal reflective work between sessions.
The number of sessions is generally agreed upon during the first or second meeting, once the objectives are clarified.
Typically, 3 to 5 sessions are needed to clarify a situation, make an informed decision, or overcome an obstacle, while 5 to 12 sessions are recommended for more significant situations requiring deeper work, where the desired impact will decisively influence your lifestyle.
If new elements arise, their relevance will be reviewed together, and any necessary adjustments to the sessions will be made
These sessions are conducted within a structured framework, using powerful questioning techniques mastered by the coach, enabling you to uncover your hidden resources.
You may stop the sessions at any time; there is no obligation to continue if you decide it’s not the right fit for you.
The coach… his mission
The coach supports its clients in exploring and integrating all aspects of their lives—mind, body, emotions, and environment—towards achieving balance, clarity, and personal growth. The coach helps clients identify their inner resources, navigate challenges, and develop sustainable strategies that align with their values and goals, fostering overall well-being and resilience.
Whether it’s to support you through a career transition, balance work and personal life, or manage stress more effectively,
my goal will be to assist you in achieving success in your reflections and projects, while respecting your personal and professional environment
