Coaching is a collaborative, solution-focused, result-orientated and systematic process

Coaching is...

Two coaching definitions

"Coaching is a collaborative, solution-focused, result-orientated and systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of work performance, life experience, self-directed learning and personal growth of the coachee”
Coach Anthony M Grant

"We train our coaches to create a relationship that supports the individual client at looking deeply at the different areas of their life and making choices that are based on what’s most fulfilling, rather than on what’s the most expedient or what others expect."
Karen Kimsey-House, CTI Founder, Coaches Training Institute

C4E Coaching gives you

Confidentiality
Coaching sessions are confidential. We make no recordings other than coaching notes (with your permission), we keep no records. We do not write reports either.

Powerful Questions
Your coach will form a trusting partnership with you, so that you can explore who you are and what you want to do and be in the world of Education. Your coach will ask provocative questions about your topics.

In this trusting partnership, you will progress much further, more quickly and have more fun than thinking about such topics on your own.

What's your primary goal at this point?
What's working? What's not?
Where is your focus? Where do you want it to be?
What can you influence? What can you not influence?
Where can you find additional support?

Curiosity and Non-Judgement
You will be listened to, with full curiosity. You will never be judged. Ever.

What Educators are saying about being coached

We ask for feedback. This is what educators say.

Everyone needs a coach to ask those important and difficult questions. This has been extremely helpful to me in my effort to find my value base and priorities.
Highly recommended!
John Steinberg, retired School Principal

It was good to think aloud about my work situation.
The best part was getting a direction to think about and try out in between coaching sessions.
I can absolutely recommend this coaching.
Anne-Maj Olsson, Teacher

Setting aside an hour a month has helped me to find the dynamic balance between my professional and private lives, working in a challenging, bilingual, pre-school environment.

What Educators say about C4E Coaching

Maria Iervolino, A Teacher of English Language at Secondary School

I concluded yesterday my last coaching session with my coach. It was an incredible experience I wish I could have had before.

During the first coaching hours I realized I had built for decades my own personal prison, a place/ cage of comfort and false serenity which my coach has the capacity to sense and put into discussion with a simple question. A single word or even a moment of silence, silence that talked more than thousand words.

Thanks for this unique opportunity, can’t find the words to thank you enough.

English teacher, Ng Xuandy

I never knew how powerful I was until I was coached. The coaching sessions gave me a safe space to explore my inner thoughts and ideas that I've never had the chance to really think about deeply.

I think the best part about coaching is that it makes me feel really strong, like there's nothing that can stop me if I set my mind to it.

I am so lucky to have found C4E. Being coached by my wonderful, wonderful coach, was a magical experience. She is very wise, resourceful, professional and kind. I am very grateful to my coach for leading me to readjust my core values and made a huge leap in my teaching.

I would highly recommend C4E to all the amazing educators out there!
