Working within an institution or organisation is often very interesting and challenging, but sometimes also demanding and demanding:
I keep running into the same situation: how can I do things differently?
All those meetings...
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 it that this cooperation is 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 them on board?
If you recognise yourself in any of these statements, it may be useful to reflect on your own performance.
Forms of guidance: coaching, supervision and counselling
From our background, we choose one of the forms of counselling in consultation with the client and the client.
Coaching
The starting point is the performance of work as intended by the institution or organisation - the client brings in his or her own work questions. We also offer group coaching for up to three people.
Supervision
Here, the focus is on the person within the work and profession. The client learns about himself in his own work situation - he brings in his own learning questions and learns through reflection.
Counselling
The client himself is central: awareness of emotions, processing experiences and searching for new balance and meaning are starting points - the client himself determines the input and pace of learning.
Content
Depending on the form of coaching chosen, the coach will
- asking about thoughts, feelings and ways of acting
- advise
- give tips and suggestions
- correlate
- confront
- give feedback
- stimulate reflection
- monitor targets
- give practical assignments
- provide literature
- suggest forms of work
- possibly observation in the work situation or coaching on the job
Methodology
In an exploratory meeting with the client, in addition to mutual acquaintance, the questions are examined. Then, together with the client(s), we examine whether and which form of counselling suits the client. A combination is also possible. Based on this conversation, further agreements are made about learning goals and results to be achieved. A counselling session lasts an average of 45 minutes, in principle once every 14 days. Many processes include 5 sessions, coupled with a written evaluation and a concluding final session.
Supervisors
Gerda Nobel and Ineke Wikkerink, both registered supervisors with the LVSB (Landelijke Vereniging voor Supervisie en andere Begeleidingsvormen) and have a lot of (life) experience through their activities.
