I am Dimitri To Whom it may concern

Dear Sir or Madam

Coaching Services for You and your Organization

I have completed training as a Coach based on the requirements of the International Coaching
Federation (ICF). (http://www.coachingfederation.org) . This is the largest and most recognized
Professional Coaching organization in the world. I am currently in process of obtaining my PCC
( Professional Certified Coach) qualification from ICF

Coaching came about from Sports Coaching. Every top athlete has a Coach. In the last two
decades, Coaching has become applicable in every area, in business and in every aspect of life
and sport. Now, it is quite normal for someone to see a Coach to help them achieve their goals in
their life and work

Galileo Galilei said “You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within
himself” This is where the power of coaching lies.

The essence of Coaching is:

To help a person change in the way they wish and helping them go in the direction they want to go.
Coaching supports a person at every level in becoming whom they want to be.
Coaching builds awareness, empowers choice and leads to change.

There are significant differences between Coaching, Training, Mentoring, Consulting, Counselling
and Therapy. Counselling deals with a Clients trauma, problem or issues stemming from the past
and helps them to heal. Therapy provides

Mentoring is when a more knowledgeable and worldly-wise senior colleague gives advice and
provides a role model. He advises the junior from his senior state and wider level of experience.
There is no set process for mentoring. Each mentor may do so in a different way and have a
different style.

Counselling is where a Client who feels uncomfortable, or dissatisfied with their life seeks guidance
and advice from the counsellor. He works to remedy the client’s problem. He looks at the past and
is problem specific and emotions based.

Therapy is working with the Client who wants emotional healing and relief from psychological or
physical symptoms. The Therapist deals with the Client’s mental health. He looks at the past and
identifies root causes of the present issues.

Teaching passes knowledge from teacher who knows more on the subject or has more experience
to student who has less or no knowledge or experience.

Training is the process of getting knowledge skills or abilities by study, experience or teaching. A
trainer is an expert who targeted on specific skills for immediate results

Consultant is a professional who provides advice in a particular area of expertise, solves problems
and develops a business.

In all the above modalities the relationship is between a superior or senior with more knowledge of
experience in their field, and a junior, patient, or trainee with less or no knowledge or experience in
their field.

In Coaching the relationship is between equals. The client is considered to be fully healthy and
functional and able to act in a rational and self improving manner. This is one of the powerful
aspects of coaching vs other modalities.

Other modalities seek to provide a solution to the trainee, client, junior, or patient. They are
supposed to follow the solution or path, provided by the service provider. In Coaching the coaching
facilities an environment and carries out a process to evoke awareness in the Client. It is the client
who comes up with solutions together with the coach. This is the other powerful and transformative
aspect of coaching.

It is the difference between the client implementing someone else’s solution vs finding his own
solution together with the help of the coach. This is not just solution providing, it is transformative.
The client is transformed by the evoking of awareness within the client, setting into motion a
process of transformation and self improvement.

I am also an accredited administrator of several psychometric tests. These include MBTI , FIRO B
and I will soon have my DISC certification. Th

These can be done in conjunction with coaching for your C- Suite, Senior Management, Middle
Management, Executives, Management Trainees or Juniors.
