Coaching, Supervision and Counselling at Vivace
Working within an organisation or institution is often exciting and challenging, but sometimes also demanding and tough. Perhaps you recognise yourself in one of these situations:
- All those meetings take up all my time....
- Work takes me all the way!
- I feel like I'm stuck...
- Now that I have this position, colleagues see me differently....
- I've been running around stressed for ages...
- I am leading a project for the first time...
- Why is this collaboration not going well?
- Maybe it's time for another job...
- I have only just started working here...
- How do I give my employees more responsibility?
- Times are changing: how do I get my team on board?
If you recognise yourself in any of these statements, it may make sense to reflect on your own functioning. Vivace offers coaching, supervision and counselling to professionals and executives in Amsterdam, the Randstad region and throughout the Netherlands.
Forms of guidance
Coaching
The focus here is on performing the work, as the organisation intends. The client brings in their own work questions. Vivace also offers group coaching (maximum three people).
Supervision
The person within the work is central. The client learns about himself in his own work situation and brings in his own learning questions. Reflection is the main method here.
Counselling
The client himself is central. The starting point is awareness of emotions, processing experiences and finding new balance and meaning. The client determines the pace and input.
What can you expect?
Depending on the type of coaching chosen, the coach may:
- asking about thoughts, feelings and actions
- give advice and suggestions
- connecting and confronting
- giving feedback and stimulating reflection
- monitor targets
- give practical assignments or literature
- suggest forms of work
- observe in the work situation or offer coaching on the job
Methodology
In an exploratory meeting, we explore the client's questions and, together with the client, consider which form of counselling is appropriate. Sometimes a combination is chosen. Based on this, learning goals and outcomes are established. An interview lasts 75 minutes on average, usually once every 14 days. Many processes include five sessions, followed by a written evaluation and a concluding final session.
