Frequently Asked Questions
What is Integral Coaching?
Unlike the classic advice, "what should you do", in coaching there is no solution dictated by your coach, we use a technique based on structured conversations between you and your coach, with the aim of making an evaluation about your personal competences and perspectives, even suggestions for your self-reflection, to improve either your interpersonal relationships or deprogram negative behavior patterns, which only stop your development potential or the reach of your goals.
​
COACHING always aims to promote self-reflection, perception, awareness and responsibility, in order to activate self-help.
How does it work?
During the Coaching sessions, your coach acts as a critical and neutral counterpart, that together with you analyzes and uses your tools and abilities, to reach the objective stated in the session.
My task as a coach is to accompany you and stimulate you to think, to perceive things from another point of view, to restructure and initiate change processes independently, which will help you enrich and improve your life.
You choose the path, you make your own decisions! Because in INTEGRAL COACHING transparent interventions are handled and there isn't any manipulation technique allowed.
​
What tools are used in Integral Coaching?
Through the use of several modern methods such as the NPL (Neuro-linguistic Programming), the holistic method and concepts of classical psychology.

In itself, the Integral Coaching part of the scoop that, each one of us has innumerable tools, which, sometimes are filed in our subconscious and we are not able to recognize them.

​
What is the difference between integral coaching and psychological counseling or therapy?
Primarily a Coach works with you to develop the skills you already have. Together they design strategies to get the most out of you, to unlock your full potential. Coaching mainly helps in topics such as ways of thinking and acting, such as restrictive beliefs, lack of confidence, lack of assertiveness, doubts, and self-sabotage, etc. And as an intrinsic characteristic, the Coachee makes decisions for itself. In conclusion, a Coach is like a personal companion that encourages self-help and a consultant always gives his advice and personal perspective.
​
What is the coaching process?
During the sessions, I define together with you your objectives and develop with you strategies using your abilities and tools to achieve them.
The main tool to achieve this is to ask you questions with background, which will help us get to the heart of the matter. This means that I listen to you attentively and actively, but I also ask you specific questions and, depending on the situation, I will also use all the methods at my disposal to optimize this discovery process.
I encourage you to think and reflect during our coaching sessions, to inspire yourself and perhaps also to change the perspective of the way you see things.
This inspires self-reflection and is a process that follows its path at its own pace. That is a completely individual process.
How do I measure the success of my coaching?
In the first place, the coach and the coachee establish goals and objectives, which are worked in a certain period of time, in which the coachee is committed to achieving those goals. Once the objectives are established, both the coach and the coachee go through the necessary strategies and actions that will make it easier for the coachee to achieve these desired and established objectives. Success is in you as Coachee, in carrying out the commitments and pursuing the goals agreed with your Coach.
How many meetings do you need?
The advantage of coaching is that you can successfully work on a topic in just a few sessions. As a general rule, a training process involves 3 to 10 units. It is always about the achievement of a jointly defined objective.
I offer you personal coaching too, for 3, 6 and up to 12 months.
​
How long is a Coaching session?
Depending on the modality agreed in advance, the sessions are 60, 90 or up to 180 minutes each; depending on the issue and the situation of the Coachee.
​
Where do the coaching sessions take place?
The sessions take place in my training room in Manhattan.
We can also take them outdoors and let ourselves be enlightened by nature, which exerts great strength and is a great source of inspiration!
​
How do we start?
After contacting me, we have a conversation, either personal or telephone, during which you will be able to notice and feel if there is a connection between me as a Coach and you as a Coachee.
The preliminary talk lasts about 30 minutes and, of course, is free.
