For all companies that are thinking of planting small pools of internal coaches, they should get involved and choose a program like this, that is, solution-focused coaching, because quite simply the executives completely change the way they interact within their working environment. I no longer discuss the problems; I don't find any usefulness in this. As an executive, I know I am good at solving problems… But now I'm very good… at finding the positives of the situation that will lead to the solution.
Maria Nikolakaki | Head of Sector Retail Collections Unit – NBG | Internal Coach Certification GraduateA new way of thinking, a new approach, […] a way of functioning both in personal life and at work, it is very important to feel that you can discover your strengths and even more important to feel that you can, without intervening substantially, open up people to bring out their positive in it. […]
Maria Koniakou | Branch Network Sales Coordinator, ALPHA BANK - Internal Coach Certification graduateUsing Solution Focus methodology helps you to delve deeper into a person's issue and shows the path for improvement/change without making any reference to the problem itself at all. As a coach, you need to focus on the person's strengths & achievements and trigger the proper questions, and the solution is there, coming straight away from the coachee himself/herself. It's amazing!

During this fantastic journey, I discovered myself and invented another way to make my work inspirational, transformational, and a source of development for people. I strongly recommend this program, which changes our way of thinking. Atom Wave is a value-adding business partner.

I also appreciated the exchange with other HRs to share experiences and the possibility to try out new techniques and questions in a protected frame.
