A rollercoaster ride with a destination and a positive spin!

 

The coaching sessions with Aleida were undertaken during a very turbulent period in my working life. The goals, objectives and the purpose of the session set at the onset often had to compete with the need to address the reality of the day. Aleida, however, was a master in balancing both; she enabled me to keep the focus on the bigger picture, allowing to assess the significance of different aspects in life and commit to endeavor change, while at the same time being supportive and offering pragmatic tools to cope with the dynamics of the current events.

 

Consequently, the program wasn’t an isolated exercise but thoroughly and effectively imbedded in what was actually going on and provided a bridge to new insights and an understanding of current and potential strengths. The sessions and the positive fashion in which they were conducted flowed like a well-balanced conversation. Questions seem to be coming from a place of genuine interest; there was room for humor without, at any point, allowing the conversation to be bogged down to the level of chatting or banter.
