15 examples of coaching topics
Which topics are suitable for coaching?
In principle, we can work on a wide range of topics during an outdoor coaching session. A coach does not need to be specifically qualified for your topic, instead a good coach will work with you on discovering your own personal resources that serve you to reach your goal/s. This is why the range of topics you can approach me with is very wide. As a coach, I take responsibility for the process meaning that I explain to you how our conversations work and keep an eye on the time. I am also responsible to ensure that we do not get lost in a chat, but focus on working out your goal together and see how you can make progress in each nature coaching session.
Possible coaching topics include the following:
-
You are frustrated in your job or have just resigned/been dismissed. You are looking for a career change and would like to identify your strengths so that you can apply these in your future professional life.
-
Do you have the feeling that you are always there for everyone and everything, but you do not get enough attention from yourself? You would like to properly set and communicate your boundaries.
-
You notice that you increasingly lack patience in your everyday life and quickly feel overwhelmed. You want to take more time to build up your resilience and use your resources carefully.
-
Can't see the wood for the trees with all the possible decisions? You want to be able to make your decision with confidence.
-
You sometimes feel insecure about whether your performance is good enough. Could this be the imposter syndrome? Imposter syndrome is the phenomenon where people feel that they do not deserve their professional success and doubt their abilities. Would you like to learn to value yourself and your achievements appropriately?
-
You are actually quite happy in your patchwork family, but there are one or two challenges with your ex-partner(s) and/or (step)children or in your family's organization? Would you like your patchwork family to live together in harmony?
-
You are in a new situation in life, for example when you have just arrived in Switzerland (as an expat), have started a new job or are planning to move to another country. You would like to know how you can best deal with this transformation while remaining true to yourself.
-
You panic when you have to speak in front of a (large) group and would like to deal with it in a more relaxed way.
-
You have lost a loved person and after the initial grief you would like to find your path again, but do not know exactly how to manage this? You would like to find your way out of the darkness and see where there is some light for you in this new life.
-
Do you reckon that you have not (yet) unlocked your full potential and do not really know how to improve on this? You would like to build up courage and become more self-confident so that you can finally unlock your full potential.
-
You have noticed that you are often (almost) the only woman among men in your job. You have the feeling that you belong to the group, but somehow need to go the extra mile in order to be recognized the same way as men? You wish to feel more self-confident and handle this situation with ease.
-
You may already be aware that you are carrying around limiting beliefs that are not only helpful in your daily life. You are ready for new beliefs that will give you support and stability.
-
Are you unsure whether you are suitable for a management position? Are you already a manager, but are not convinced that you follow your own values? You would like to have clarity about your (potential) leadership position and want to ensure that it aligns with your values.
-
You realize that you seem to have lost your lightness with increasing age and obligations and would like to find out how you can invite it back into your life.
-
You feel stressed by the double burden of family and work and you would like to achieve a better work-life balance.
