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!

Marina Krimba | Assistant General Manager, Head of Transaction Banking Operations - EUROBANK | Diploma in Developmental Mentoring GraduateI realized that mentor-mentee needs to be balanced! The mentor needs to speak less, and the mentee needs to understand that the mentor does not do everything and they need to be willing to give information and open up.

Mentor at PIRAEUS Developmental Mentoring programOne aspect that stood out for me was the importance of focusing on even the smallest steps of progress. Highlighting these subtle shifts and exploring how my mentee approached challenges differently from before was both insightful and inspiring. It underlined the value of acknowledging progress, no matter how incremental, in building confidence and fostering continuous improvement.
Mentor at PIRAEUS Developmental Mentoring programMy mentoring sessions helped me to believe in myself and find better ways to communicate with my colleagues. My mentor made targeted questions to help me unlock my potential, such as challenging me to identify my achievements and competitive advantages. He also taught me to ask for feedback and take it as a gift to improve myself. In terms of communicating with my colleagues, we discussed being honest and open about work limitations and letting my colleagues know in advance the timetables. That's how anxiety reduces for both parties and trust builds.
