Personal Coaching - questions and answers

Personal coaching is a process that is suitable for anyone who wants to make a change in his life, to fulfill dreams and goals - that is, for the vast majority of people.

The training is suitable for most people and does not constitute psychological treatment (see below for the difference between training and treatment).

Personal training is suitable for anyone who wants to accomplish something in his life, that is, for the vast majority of people.

In the event that I identify that the trainee is not suitable for a training process (and need some therapeutic process) I stop the coaching process and refer him for treatment - according to the ethics rules of the Coaches' Association.

As a certified coach of the bureau, I am committed to complete confidentiality with the trainee and to the rules of ethics of the Coaches' Bureau in Israel.

The holistic training is a development of the traditional coaching, where a person is treated as a complete (holistic) being, consisting of body, mind and spirit. The reason for this is the understanding created following years of working with trainees using only cognitive or only behavioral tools - that the person as mentioned above is a complex being - and that a change that does not happen in all human aspects - does not last long.
During the training I combine tools from different and varied worlds such as behavioral sciences, CBT, questionnaires, guided imagination, NLP, mindfulness, the Kaizen method for behavioral change, advanced methods for time management and more.
Each training is unique and adapted to the trainee according to what suits him, so that any change achieved through the training will express a deep and sustainable change and will bring maximum results.
The two approaches are aimed at achieving change and advancing the person towards his goals, and there are many overlapping elements between them. However, there are differences between psychological therapy and personal training. Coaching is a goal-oriented process, with the trainee driven to action and create new habits. Future-focused training - in order to achieve future goals, motivates the trainee forward, for the purpose of doing and less for the purpose of insight as psychological therapy does. The coach is not a psychologist, he is not busy with mental diagnosis and of course we can not coach a trainer who needs emotional / mental support or treatment of complex mental cases. In training the trainee is the expert for his life, it is an equal relationship, at eye level. The coach does not advise, express an opinion or diagnose, but uses the training expertise to empower the trainee, his self-confidence and his inner authority, assuming that the answers are always with the trainee and only need to help him reveal them.
A personal training process by its very nature is a short-term process of several months.
The training starting point is that with the help of a relatively short number of sessions, a perceptual-behavioral change can be produced and the person can be moved towards fulfilling his goals. However, whether it is a trainee who is interested in achieving multiple goals, or whether it is a more complex goal, each process is individual and according to the trainee’s personal pace of progress and level of dedication to the process, so there is no one right answer for everyone.
