Coaching Approach
Based on different theories, my Integrated Coaching model strongly ties into existing corporate processes, especially for MNCs working across different cultures and brings a coaching culture into the organization. I use a highly interactive coaching process to help my clients attain awareness of their deeply rooted beliefs and values and behaviors associated with them. From that awareness, I help them identify and implement shifts that will effect lasting change where they want it, to move their careers forward.
