Business Coaching in Turkey

Business coaching is a collaborative, solution-focused process that helps leaders and organizations maximize their potential. Unlike consulting, which typically provides specific solutions or recommendations, coaching empowers clients to discover their own insights and develop personalized strategies.

A coach acts as a thought partner who asks powerful questions, provides objective feedback, and creates a supportive environment for exploration and growth. The focus is on developing the client's capabilities and helping them generate their own solutions rather than prescribing answers.

While consultants are often hired for their specific expertise in solving particular problems, coaches work with clients' existing knowledge and potential, helping them unlock new perspectives and approaches to challenges. Coaching is particularly effective for leadership development, navigating transitions, and creating sustainable behavior change.

The duration of a coaching engagement depends on the specific goals and needs of the client. Our programs typically range from 3 to 12 months, with most executive coaching relationships lasting 6 months.

We begin with an initial assessment and goal-setting phase (1-2 sessions), followed by regular coaching sessions every 2-4 weeks. Each session typically lasts 60-90 minutes, with email or phone support between sessions as needed.

Some clients choose to extend their coaching relationship beyond the initial timeframe, either continuing with regular sessions or transitioning to a maintenance schedule with less frequent check-ins. We also offer intensive coaching programs for specific transitions or challenges, which may follow a more condensed timeline with more frequent sessions.

We believe in the importance of measurable outcomes and use several approaches to evaluate coaching effectiveness:

• Goal achievement metrics: We establish clear, measurable goals at the beginning of the coaching relationship and regularly track progress against these objectives.
• 360-degree feedback: We often conduct pre- and post-coaching assessments gathering input from colleagues, direct reports, and supervisors to measure observable behavioral changes.
• Business impact indicators: When appropriate, we track relevant business metrics such as team productivity, employee engagement scores, retention rates, or other KPIs directly related to the coaching objectives.
• Client self-assessment: We use validated assessment tools to measure changes in specific leadership competencies, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, or other targeted development areas.

Additionally, we conduct regular progress reviews throughout the coaching relationship to ensure the approach remains aligned with evolving client needs and to make adjustments as necessary.

Yes, we provide coaching services in multiple languages to accommodate the diverse needs of our clients in Turkey and internationally. Our coaching team includes professionals fluent in:

• Turkish
• English
• Russian
• German
• Arabic

We understand that many clients prefer to engage in deep personal and professional development work in their native language, and we strive to accommodate these preferences whenever possible. For languages not listed above, we can often arrange for qualified coaches through our international network of partners.

All of our coaches who work in multiple languages have been certified in coaching methodologies in their respective languages and understand the cultural nuances that influence leadership and business practices in different contexts.

We offer flexible delivery options to accommodate our clients' preferences and circumstances:

• In-person coaching: Traditional face-to-face sessions conducted at our Antalya office, the client's workplace, or a mutually agreed location in Turkey.
• Virtual coaching: Fully remote sessions conducted via video conferencing platforms (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or similar), offering convenience and eliminating geographical constraints.
• Hybrid approach: A combination of in-person and virtual sessions, often beginning with face-to-face meetings to establish rapport and then transitioning to a mix of delivery methods.

Our experience shows that virtual coaching can be equally effective as in-person coaching when conducted properly. We've developed specific techniques to create presence, build rapport, and facilitate meaningful conversations in the virtual environment.

For team coaching and workshops, we offer both in-person and virtual facilitation options, with specialized approaches for engaging distributed teams effectively through digital collaboration tools.
