The concept of coaching has not yet been developed in Greece. The foreign title, on the other hand, makes it difficult to understand both its meaning and its subject matter.
Coaching It is essentially a conversation. It is something analogous to the midwifery method of the philosopher Socrates, who, through questions, made his interlocutor understand things about himself that he was either unaware of or had not realized.
So I don't know what's wrong with me? Someone might ask. Of course not. We all know the good, the bad, what we like and what we don't. But our daily lives are so burdened, time is limited and responsibilities are so many that we often either forget or don't know some basic steps that can make our lives better.
And why not talk to a friend? A friend usually talks based on their own experiences and often suggests their own solutions that are not always right for the person they are talking to. They also judge the friend for actions they have done in the past that have brought them to the situation they are in.
THE coach on the other hand, it does not judge. Each of us is in a position because of choices, good or bad. The coach through questions helps the interlocutor (coachee) to understand what brought him to where he is and how he will get to a better place. The how and where will be decided by the person himself coachee through his questions coach.
For example, a person who has been out of a relationship for a long time and feels lonely should realize why they are out of a relationship.
*Is it because he didn't want to before and if so why?
*He could think that he hasn't found the right person. And if so, who would that person be?
*Can he consider that the appropriate conditions do not exist? And if so, what would they be and how would they be created?
*Then what is he willing to do to not feel lonely or to get into a relationship?
All these and many other questions can only be coachee to answer and, by going deeper, find solutions to the issues that concern him, to set goals and make his life better according to his own data in each area.
For a person who feels like they are at an impasse and wants to change their daily life, it is a wonderful experience to get to know themselves again and make their life better through their own choices with small, steady and easy steps.
