SCOA PRINCIPLES

SCOA The School of Coaching is committed to follow these principles:

• establishing a contact based on the principle of mutual respect
• orienting the interaction towards mutual growth
• accepting and transforming emotions into resources
• learning from life experience and using this knowledge to tackle new challenges
• facilitating creative adaptation to the work environment
• combining the awareness of one’s background with the attention to others and the situation
• leveraging on games and humour as sources of creativity and positive energy.

THROUGH METHODOLOGICAL GUIDELINES PUT THE COACHING PROCESS INTO PRACTICE

Sharing the responsibility

• the coachee has an active role and full responsibility for his/her learning process
• the aims and methods used are previously agreed
• the relationship is based on transparency and trust.

Developing independence 

• the coach always respects client's possible decisions
• the coach does not interfere nor express any evaluation or suggestion.

Recognizing the value of emotions

• the method leads the coachee to naturally revise the awareness of him/herself, his/her experiences, emotions, beliefs and behaviours in both his/her role and his/her own relation network
• the coach is always in the front line as a source of truthful feedback as a stimulus to look for new creative solutions.
