Welcome to my Coaching

The roots of professional coaching can be traced back to the Inner Game books of the mid-1970´s. In these books W. Timothy Gallwey suggested a paradigm shift in sports coaching. He had noticed that players self-corrected when he coached with open questions, instead of catching errors and offering suggestions. In fact when a player relaxed and held a picture and feeling of the desired result, the player improved. The player had corrected, without knowing he/she had ever been in error, unselfconsciously.

Whitmore uses the metaphor of an acorn ´...which contains within it all the potential to be a magnificent oak tree. We need nourishment, encouragement and light to reach towrds, but the oaktreeness is already within.´Coaching , then, is about discovering and actualising a person´s potential.

Abraham Maslow

Standard British definition of a coach is ´a single-decker vehicle, especialy one that is comfortably equipped and used for longer journeys.´ We will have a long journey but it will be comfortable and even using a lot of various tools it will be comfortable for you as ´less is more.´

´The only thing between you and feeling happy now is a stroy.´
