Coaching in professional life and everyday life is needed increasingly often today. In the past everything was much simpler. Children followed in their parents' footsteps and learned the same trades, and if there was any problem they always had a contact person they could ask who would support them with advice and practical help. And today? Today children learn completely different professions, and even within the same profession the conditions change so quickly that you can no longer help one another in the same way – not to mention that people no longer live under the same roof but often far apart. Where should one find help with a problem now?
This is where the Coaching in professional and everyday life. The coach is a consultant who knows life and is focused on helping to solve problems. These usually relate to professional problems, but a coach can also be helpful with private issues, for example in a marriage crisis.
Coaching for Women
Coaching is by no means a topic just for managers anymore. Women are affected as well. Often it is the tension between family and career that can be very problematic. There is not always an understanding partner. Here, coaching for women by a consultant can help. They are not focused on presenting ready-made solutions, but on providing guidance for self-reflection. The woman must recognize for herself what she actually wants and then devote herself to that goal consistently. That way she too can be successful without wearing herself out.
Coaching in professional life and everyday life – the DBVC
How do you find the right coach? You can look for a coach completely privately. Then no one finds out about the problems you are facing.
Many consultants have joined together in the Deutschen Bundesverband Coaching e.V. The DBVC offers various aids on its website www.dbvc.de. You can search for a member in your geographic area, and you can also search the member profiles for specializations to find the right consultant. Detailed descriptions of the areas of activity also help with this.
If the problems are work-related, it can make sense to choose a coach from the professional environment. He may know the company's circumstances and can thus give better advice. You can find out about him through the occupational physician without the employer finding out. The employer may even offer coaching as part of employee support.
