My background in Coaching

As a certified coach with over 25 years of experience in Human Resources and training, I have worked with a wide range of people coming from multicultural, multilingual backgrounds, and with diverse profiles, including scientific, technical, administrative personnel, HR, finance, IT, government bodies, outreach etc. and at all levels - from support staff to Management.

As an example of my previous positions, I worked as the Deputy Head of the Management and Communication Training Department of a large international organisation, where organised and delivered training and coaching on a full range of topics. I then went on to be a Human Resources Advisor working on all aspects of HR, including recruitment.

I am grateful for this experience and the opportunities it has given me to work with people to help them move forward in their professional careers and in their own growth.

Examples of motivation factors

Frederick Hertzberg in 1959 presented this diagram which shows the factors that may influence our motivation in the workplace. The main idea is that hygiene factors, although they will per se not necessarily motivate someone, if they are not there, they can lower motivation. Examples of hygiene factors: clean working environmnent, comfortable chairs, clear policies and rules etc.

Motivation factors can help increase motivation. Examples of these could include: job recognition, the work itself, opportunities for development, promotion etc.
This model can be useful in identifying what is important for us in the workplace. However, it is important to bear in mind that the influence of any of these factors may vary depending on the person.

Success means to love yourself, love what you do, and love the way you do it. .

Maya Angelou
