Beyond a Journey 'Coaching Story'

By Meltem Şakarcan

Overview

The Author's Intention... At the forefront of my intention to write this book was to highlight the impact of an ethical and structured coaching process on individuals and organizations. The lines I began with for this purpose transformed into a story. As a coach working with hundreds of professional executives and teams, if I have managed to convey even a small part of the impact of coaching to professionals engaged in the fast-changing global business world, professional coaches, aspiring coaches looking to embark on their coaching journey, and all decision-makers considering benefiting from coaching services for themselves or their organizations, I would be very happy to have made an impact on my profession, my colleagues, and prospective colleagues.

Description

Sometimes, don't people approach what would do them the most good with a bias? Deniz, a white-collar worker, would never consider coaching unless he had to, to advance his career in the company he works for. The story of Deniz, who started his coaching journey as a necessity and emerged transformed, lighter, and changed, invites you to follow each stage of his journey that nurtured him and solidified his steps with pleasure. You will witness Deniz regain his lost colors and the effects of this on his company and society. This is the story of how coaching illuminates the dark corners of the path we call life, which we navigate by feel, stumbling along the way, like a lighthouse. Editor: Duygu KARATAŞ When the sea is turbulent and stormy, you can see neither your surroundings nor the inside of yourself; similarly, how clear can what you see really be? When I stepped into Deniz's story, everything seemed as if it were in a storm, and I didn't realize that I was also stepping into my own world. I first looked in the mirror. Did the person I saw resemble the person I wanted to be? Then I went back to Deniz. Every sentence brought me closer to him; I walked with him, fell, cried, and laughed… Then Oylum entered both of our lives. While coaching Deniz, she was actually coaching me as well. The ethical stance, management style, and details of the coaching process that I had heard of but never experienced before deeply affected me. With this perspective, turning back to myself step by step became an experience I had never had before. I created my own "Colorful Values Circle," and like Deniz, I painted my own "Top …" and "Life Circle." I sought myself on every page and got to know myself better. When it was time to find my scent, I turned back to myself even more. I talked, I listened, I was silent… And finally, the storm began to calm. Everything became clearer, and the scents became more vibrant. My scent, it turned out, was "Jasmine flower." Are you ready to find your scent? Editor: Zeynep ÇOKRAN
