Life Coaching at MaXXYou

What is a life coach?

A life coach guides people in achieving their goals. A life coach does not have the answers to your questions or ready-made solutions but will get you there in finding them! A life coach like Yvonne Looije from MaXXYou asks powerful questions that make the client think, reflect and more aware of themselves and their own - potentially - limiting ideas and hang-ups.

Why would you partner with a life coach?

A life coach empowers clients to find their ways and to get the most out of life. A life coach also enables to better cope with challenges in your life. A Life Coach also supports and empowers people in businesses, business owners and employees in organizations to better deal with absenteeism, stress or conflicts. A life coach like Yvonne provides meaning, energy and positivity in the lives of their clients. She coaches people to shape their own personal, business and social lives. The choice for a life coach is a personal one. That is why Yvonne Looije offers a free 30 minutes “Discovery Session”. In this session both client and coach can test the waters, to see if they find common ground, if they “click”.

Why coaching?

A coach helps you with deep life questions as well as with very concrete goals or problems. Coaching is aimed at people who want to develop themselves and who want to actively work on their personal development. Coaching supports general life situations, improves performance and creates desirable situations.

Objectiveness

A coach does not give their own opinion, unless the client asks for it. A coach often does not offer advice. Yvonne Looije does offer her opinion and advice as a mentor to professionals, usually professionals working in the financial services sector.
As a coach she aims for letting the client arrive at their own answers. The client thus obtains optimal self-insight and does not take into account what the coach thinks.

What to discuss with a coach?

The aim of each coaching conversation is to provide tools for behavior that helps the client to reach happiness & more. Together with the coach, the client explores and reflect options, finding ways in what they should or shouldn't do to achieve their goal. A good coach follows the clients process and adapts to the needs of the person they are coaching.

Handling with care

Sometimes the 'momentum' to partner with a coach is not yet the right one. For example, the individual is not yet ready, or not yet motivated. Sometimes individuals feel powerless as they have hardly any influence on their problem. These situations can be hard. However partnering with a coach can be useful as a support function and how to best cope with the situation. As a ICF credentialed Coach, i.e., a Associate Certified Coach (ACC) by the International Coach Federation - the ICF – Yvonne Looije abides by their Code of Ethics. She conduct herself personally and professionally to the highest standards of honesty and integrity and always prioritizes the best interest of her clients. She strives for excellence in the coaching relationship and respects the limits of her knowledge and expertise. In some cases therapy is a better and more effective alternative and Yvonne will refer her client to a qualified psychotherapist.
