Values
Business leaders face new and growing pressure in today’s complex business environment. As a former manager and board member in some of the largest Croatian corporations, I understand exactly what leaders and managers need to overcome their challenges and seize the opportunities in front of them.
The core principles of professional executive coaching
There is nothing I enjoy more than helping talented people develop, and it shows. Clients tell me I am direct, honest, clear, kind, fact-based and approachable. Most importantly, they want to work with me again. I bring a deep sense of integrity to every client relationship.
These are the core values that guide my approach to coaching.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Coaching sessions are completely confidential. Clients need to feel free to share information without worrying that it will put their job at risk. Both the organisation and the individual benefit when the coaching relationship is built on trust. I never share anything from a coaching session with anyone (including the employer) without the explicit prior consent of the client I work with.
SELF-DIRECTION
The essence of coaching is helping people unlock the full potential that is already in them. I firmly believe that managers hold the keys to their own success. I do not impose my views on clients. I give them the information and support they need to discover the best course of action based on their unique qualities, aspirations and values. As a result, clients are able to solve problems on their own after our coaching engagement ends.
PUTTING THE ELEPHANT ON THE TABLE
I firmly believe that open communication, including the topics nobody wants to talk about but everybody feels in the room, is the only way to tackle the hardest problem in any business situation. Rest assured that no stone will be left unturned in uncovering the root causes of what is holding you back. At the same time, experience allows even the biggest problems to be handled with understanding, tact and diplomacy, which leads to the best and most lasting results.
AUTHENTICITY
I live the principles that I believe will help my clients succeed in business. Compassionate leadership, active listening and clear communication are the foundation of how I work with clients. These qualities create positive relationships, and positive relationships create business success.
ALIGNMENT
Executives do their best work when what they do is aligned with their values, their abilities and the expectations of their superiors and colleagues. In other words, being content matters a great deal. Respect for my clients’ core values and overall well-being is an important focus of my work.
