Today, it is completely normal for a person to consult a coach to help them achieve their goals in life and work.

La bipolarity is no exception to this rule, all the difficulty is not to settle for a coach and also to have a aftercare.

Instead, it should be taken as a supplement.

Coaching is a partnership between the coach and the client.

The coach helps to give the best of himself and to produce the results he wants in his personal and professional life.

Here are some definitions to avoid confusing the role of a coach.

Mentoring

Mentoring is when an older colleague, who is considered to be more knowledgeable and knowledgeable, provides advice and acts as a role model.

Mentoring involves wide-ranging discussions that may not be limited to the professional context.

The advice

The advice is to work with a client who feels uncomfortable or dissatisfied with their life.

It is a expert of the domain.

The Therapy

La therapy involves working with a client who is looking to relieve psychological or physical symptoms.

The client wants healing emotional and a relief from the mental suffering.

The therapy takes care of the sanity of the customer.

Coaching takes care of the mental growth of the customer.

The reason the client enters therapy or counseling is usually toescape pain or discomfort, rather than moving forward to objectives desired.

Coaching is not corrective, it is generative.

La therapy and counseling are more likely to involve understanding and working on past experiences than coaching.

This definition should be put into perspective in the sense some therapists are also coaches.

The Formation

Training is the process ofacquisition of knowledge, skills, or abilities through study, experience, or teaching.

The trainer is by definition the expert, and the training course is likely to be targeted at specific skills for immediate results.

The training is also likely to be given in groups to several people at the same time as in the classroom.

Moreover, HopeStage offers complete and free training here.

In summary, training can be a valuable tool in the management of bipolar disorder by offering a better understanding of the condition, by helping to develop skills in terms of condition management, by offering informations about the treatments available and by offering a perspective on the help options available.

The Consulting

A consultant provides a expertise and solves business problems, or develops a business as a whole.

A consultant takes care of the organization as a whole or specific parts of it and not the individuals who make it up.

Consultants only affect individuals indirectly, we are not talking about consultants for one person.

Teaching

The teaching transmits the acquaintances from teacher to student.

The teacher knows something that the student doesn't.

The opposite is true in coaching.

The client is the expert and he has the answers, not the coach.

I admit it's a bit old school but we're staying here on definitions.

Why coaching for bipolar?

To progress in a field, one of the essential points is to receive Feedback whether positive or negative.

It is by having feedback on what we need to improve that we are in a position to do so.

Why is it that during 40 hours of driving (and yes I am not a pro 😉) we go from someone who does not know how to pass a speed to a person who can pass the license to drive alone.

It is thanks to the Feedback regular, while during the rest of our lives most of us are not going to progress more than that.

If you cannot afford a professional coach, do not hesitate to ask for feedback from those around you.

Personally, I really like doing it with my collaborators in order to understand what I can improve, it is also a way of valuing them.

Do I need a coach?

The answer is always different and it depends mainly on your objectives.

Generally, when we try to progress in a field, it is a way to speed things up but also to have moral support.

One of the problems with coaching is that bad life coaches are sometimes, not to say often, people with no particular skills.

The coaching profession is not regulated, I can call myself a coach when I went to business school that does not prepare for coaching.

In general, do not pay for coaching packages with a long-term commitment, it is often a bad sign.

It is also a question of priority, in most cases you must first have a therapist (psychiatrist, psychologist) before thinking about having a coach.

What can a coach do for me?

A coach is someone who helps you To become better.

I think that depending on the stage of your life, you sometimes need help to reach your goals.

It can also be for professional reasons in a job search by improving your interview performance or by optimizing your Linkedin profile for example.

The importance is to facilitated learning which is essential in certain moments of his life.

I personally have a coach for my business to whom I ask questions about my current problems.

Here are a few concepts that I really like about coaching:

1- Work in mentalization, by projecting the person into their future.

2- Seeing yourself at the finish line

3- The fact of making you dream to allow your dream to come true.

Coaching is discovering with the coachee his objective and letting him find its solutions.

How do you choose a good coach?

First there is the fit, what is the specialty of his coach?

Professional success, sport, bipolarity...

You have to have someone who has something to share, who has an experience.
