Choosing your coach

This question comes up regularly, both on social networks and in discussions in companies or networks.

And that’s an essential question!

This decision-making has a stake, that of the benefits that the coachee will be able to obtain from his commitment to a coaching course. The benefits of coaching are also spread throughout the company, in particular thanks to a coaching phasing, the rule of the art of the profession.

Several approaches of choice can be considered, as well as their combinations.

Talk to each other for real

I regularly observe a problem that massively affects my individual and collective clients: we no longer have time to talk to each other for real.

20 years ago when you called someone, you had a good chance that the person would pick up their phone. Or even responds to a written or voice message. 
Today it has become quite exceptional. Except in an emergency.
Generating its share of stress.

Emotional field in coaching

Just this morning I was amazed by the ability of my client’s pet to be connected to its inner state.
And to serve as a revealer, or mirror of this emotional state.

Now that coaching or supervision sessions are regularly held via zoom, at my clients’ homes, pets are entering the coaching dance.

Coaching of leaders and managers – coaching of meaning or performance?

Professional coaching is known as a process that achieves #results. It provides #means, which support the improvement of #performance, especially in a relational space of security, with the neutral look and the open questioning of the coach.

What about the meaning you want to give to your action?
What is your particular signature as a team manager?

Red buttons

The “red buttons” are the intolerances that trigger us emotionally, every time someone presses them or a situation confronts us.

These reactivities are at the root of many conflicts in teams.

Behavioural Dynamics Profile

For what?

Behavioral dynamics are the signature of how we think, feel and behave, in simple or complex situations, known or unknown. 

The Behavioral Dynamics Profile is a tool that allows, starting from a better knowledge of oneself and others, to develop the desired evolutions, to move towards more knowledge of one’s modes of operation -as well as those of other humans-, to find a better balance pleasure-effort and thus, more performance.

Examples of applications:

  • Develop your management skills
  • Develop intra- and inter-personal skills: getting to know yourself better to better interact with others
  • Develop your leadership : clarify ressources that are naturally present and those that need to be developed
  • Reorganize your team, including hard and soft skills
  • Improve your performance and professional efficiency on a daily basis, by learning to act, rather than react
  • Equipping your search for professional evolution: taking the direction corresponding to your deep and lasting aspirations
  • Realign your actions and regain your personal and professional balance

What An-Dante customers are saying

In individual debriefing

“This test allowed me to discover new facets of my profile and confirm others, all with a lot of nuance. Above all, it allowed me to better understand my motivational levers, what puts me in motion or conversely, what costs me energy. »


“The results are very precise, and nuanced, it’s super interesting, I’m really impressed… And now I know where I’m going! »

“Now I understand where it blocks for me, I want to continue with coaching to flourish and develop myself”

In collective debriefing

“I recognize myself in the motivating side of the innovator, and I know that once I have found a solution to a complex problem, I am not so interested in moving on to implementation, so I choose a right arm who has this resource, who has the management facet! »

“Very informative, a lot of self-discovery and understanding of different behaviors. »

“This model makes it possible to question its mode of operation and its practices, in a concrete way.»

When things go wrong, I go down to the workshop, talk to real people, help them solve their problems, and then it gets better and I go back up! Now I understand why it makes me feel good. And I will continue, no matter what anyone says! »

“This approach will lead me to learn to analyze the “other” in a work situation, in addition to my self-analysis. »

“It helps us to improve our daily professional situations.»

“The exchanges that result from the presentation of motivation profiles and obstacles are very extensive. »

When?

It is interesting to pass a Behavioral Dynamics Profile when:

  • questions their professional modes of operation -change of position, access to a management position-
  • wants to reposition itself
  • wants to find a balance

It is used at the beginning of coaching, to quickly clarify the lines of work of coaching.

Deliverable

The Behavioral Dynamics Profile report presents:

  • The drivers of your motivation dynamics, distinguishing between:
    • Your deep, spontaneous, lasting motivations, sources of pleasure and energy
    • The conditional motivations that you will adopt to adapt to your environment and situations, sources of pleasure of the result and energy consumption in case of deprivation of the result
    • Attitudes in which you stay calm and easily gain height
    • The Profile presents an inventory of these different motivations, their impact on you and their stability.
  • The obstacles that prevent you from accessing your resources, especially under stress (unstable motivations, sources of demotivation, emotional overinvestment potentially at the source of burnout or exhaustion, attitudes that generate emotional reactivity, stress or tension)
  • Your assertiveness, or the place you spontaneously take in a group, relative to others
  • Your adaptability, characterized by six parameters, specific to the cognitive functions described by neuroscience, adaptability mobilizable:
    • in simple situation (automatic mode)
    • in complex situations (agile mode)

How to pass a Behavioral Dynamics Profile?

The questionnaire takes place online (about half an hour). It gives rise to a detailed report delivered during a 2-hour individual debriefing, by an ANC certified coach.

The purpose of the debriefing session is to present the elements of the report and to begin to make links with the coachee’s situation.

Scientific foundations

The questionnaire is based on the Neurocognitive and Behavioral Approach, developed by the Institute of Behavioral Medicine, which has been conducting interdisciplinary research for more than 30 years and transferring it to the situations of companies and organizations.
