Why is my coaching effective?
01.
Appropriate Tools
Purpose only does not create a great team. Team members need to get connected.
Team players appreciate teamwork and believe that can succeed only together in one team. They know how important it is to set it up right.
Teams take time to reflect on purpose, they define their vision and can debate over strategy. They have open discussions about roles and expectations, they can align & define their rules. A sign for good teams is that they also regularly retrospect about their teamwork and if it meets expectations. In order to do this they choose our tools and practices because they go deeper than the standard so that they can create a stronger connection among each other. This results to high trust and the willingness to take risks together.

Alignment
Disagreements? Small or big conflicts? Not moving forward? Get unstuck.
Let’s face it. Big challenges bring difficult discussions with diverse opinions. In such cases even excellent teams need to acknowledge that they are only humans and that hey will also get stuck in debates. The ability though to get unstuck fast and continue a difficult discussion is rewarding. It allows healthy friction for excellent results.
Nevertheless the shift from being stuck to being curios to listen and discover is a difficult task. In such cases I help the teams to shift its attention to where they want to be together. This is a fast and sustainable approach because it helps teams to get unstuck on their own.

Live with uncertainty
Are you ready for the next challenge? Get energy and refocus on purpose.
Teams that are working on building innovative products and competing with time experience failure extremely often while at the same time are challenged to come up with new ideas and be creative. A positive atmosphere is mission critical for them in order to keep ideas flowing.
I support such teams by using the strength of their relationship and brainstorming techniques that open up the mind to dream again. Teams regain curiosity to learn and passion to succeed.
What I offer to Organisations
01.
Create value for customers
Lots of organisation want to put their customer first, but they have difficulties to walk the talk. They practically still focus first on monetary goals and loose focus from what will differentiate them from competition.
I support the organisation to learn to reach their business goals by working cross-functionally towards the needs of customers in small safe steps.
02.
Manage difficult changes
Change can be a complex and uncertain journey and at the beginning there is naturally a lot of uncertainty. Kickstarting the change journey and getting buy-in but also ideas and support is crucial in order to avoid starting from the beginning.
I offer a powerful tool, which helps organisations to involve larger groups of employees in several small workshops to collect input, ideas and co-create on the strategy.
03.
Organise improvement
Continuous improvement and adaptation are necessary in our fast changing world. Organisations have a lot of good ideas about what they can improve, but they are not sure about where to start because they are missing a strategy for improvement.
I help organisation to define their context in a cohesive way to increase emotional involvement and clarity. I use my own developed framework to continuously structure the improvement and integrate it naturally into daily work.
About Me
I’m Ioannis.
I coach teams to build their dreams
I help people align on the culture and atmosphere they need their relationship to have.
Leave differences behind once and for all , find commonalities and through the power of your purpose move forward to a more successful and happy life. Create healthy foundations to “flourish” together as one team.
I went myself through crisis and changes. I used the opportunities to learn and find my purpose.
Supporting people to (re)connect and grow also as one entity seems to be what I can currently do best.
