Coaching

What is coaching?

Coaching is a personalised, supportive process and method that helps the client (in this case, the student) set clear and realistic goals and achieve outstanding results by drawing on their own resources.

How does the consultation work?

Coaching is an active, collaborative process: a series of personalized 45–60-minute sessions, complemented by tasks that develop the communication, planning, advocacy, and self-awareness skills—as well as effective coping strategies—needed to reach the student’s chosen goal. A similar service on the market typically costs tens of thousands of forints per session, but students of UP FBE can access it free of charge.

During the meetings, you choose the focus of the conversation, while the mentor listens attentively, offers observations, and—most importantly—asks questions. The mentor helps you interpret your situation or opportunities, identify ineffective past solutions, develop new and appropriate behavior patterns, and plan the steps leading to your goal. A series of sessions contributes to increased self-awareness, confidence, and trust, helps you evaluate your options more clearly, and—most importantly—supports your personal development in a safe and accepting environment.

What does it help with?

Primarily with decision-making situations—of which there are many during university years.

Over time, you may wonder whether you made the right choice: Did I choose the right school, the right programme? Is this profession really for me? Am I in the right place?

The list is practically endless, but here are a few examples to encourage you—situations in which coaching can be an effective method:

• Do you sometimes feel unable to make decisions?
• Unsure what to do next: work or study?
• Does time slip through your fingers, and do you often find yourself short on time?
• Is it difficult to speak in front of others?
• Do you struggle with assignments, or does your mind go blank during exams?
• Do you find it hard to fit into a new group?
• Do you tend to lose in conflicts?
• Do you try to plan ahead, yet something always gets in the way?
