Hands-on and embodied coaching

Practical & hands-on

Your current presence and communication style are the sum of behaviours that you have accumulated over your life-time. Some of these behaviours are helpful in terms of having the impact that you want. Other behaviours may be undermining your efforts to land that new job, convince the board, or get your message across.

Replacing unhelpful behaviours by more effective ones is like going to the gym – you need enough repetitions to build new muscles. Therefore, VoxImpact coaching programs are built around practice, feedback and real-life application.

Integral & embodied

Logic, brainpower, facts and figures can only take you so far. As humans, we relate to other humans – not just to their brains. In order to truly influence and inspire others you need to trust and engage your body as well.

Understanding and noticing how you are in your body will deepen your self-awareness and give you the choice to respond more skilfully to challenging situations. When you align your mind, body, and voice you can confidently embody and express what you stand for.

The Coaching Process

Preparation

Your coaching program will be tailored to your needs and objectives.

In the preparation phase you will be asked to reflect on your situation and goals and fill in a questionnaire. We will look at feedback from your colleagues and from personality assessments. And we will film you making a personal introduction. Based on all this input, we will agree on the coaching objectives.

Sessions

You will build self-awareness and practice new skills and behaviours through exercises and roleplays. Your coach will challenge you, support you, film you, and give to-the-point feedback.

Programs typically consist of 6-12 sessions spread with intervals of 2-4 weeks – more frequent in the beginning, and more spaced out towards the end.

Depending on your location, sessions may be delivered in person, online or as a combination of both.

Practice & integration

Between sessions, you will practice apply your new skills in real-life situations to integrate the learning. It is strongly recommended to find one or two persons at work or at home who can encourage you and give you feedback “in your natural habitat”.

With practice you will expand your comfortable range of new, effective behaviours and notice your impact.

Client Reviews

“I worked with Maria to become more confident and impactful in public speaking – not my comfort zone. Maria offered spot-on insights making me aware of how I might be standing in my own way of performing. She helps you identify real or imagined obstacles, pulls you out of your comfort zone with exercises, and makes you see how you can communicate more powerfully still being yourself. And the rest is all about practicing…
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to develop skills that you need to grow but that don’t come naturally.”

Client Reviews

“Maria is a phenomenal coach. She not only helped with “outside” factors such as speaking, communicating, etc., but she also digs deep and helps you uncover any “inside” factors that block progress. She is organized, structured and effective in her approach. You will get exercises, review those exercises and practice those exercises in real time. I can only recommend her services – you will not regret it! This is the kind of education that any of us can benefit from, regardless of how senior or junior you are in your organization.”
