HOW IT WORKS

How it works – A Simple 3-step process

Step 1: Diagnosis and jump-start (usually 2-3 sessions)

It is paramount to identify the real reason why you or your team need my services. It could be that you think you know this when we first meet but your hypothesis may be changed, enriched, or expanded after our first couple of sessions. I dedicate substantial time and effort in really getting to know you so I can understand what kind of positive, balanced and fulfilled future you envision for yourself, your team or your company. I strongly believe that permanent solutions to most problems individuals or organisations face can only come from within. More often than not, problems are embedded in the perception of the bearer and naturally the same is true about their solutions. During the diagnostics part of AchillesWay I apply a variety of methods and tools that can filter out noise and leave the essence of what you really need from this process.

Step 2: Creating and ‘walking’ the pathway (usually 12-20 sessions)

After you acquire a clearer understanding about your past and present states we will start thinking together about your goals for the short-, mid-, and long-term future. Then we will develop the best strategy to get you there. Together we will brainstorm, discuss, agree and disagree, but in the end, we will create a plan that you will feel excited to put into action. Together we will break down problems, set achievable goals, place milestones, understand emotions, make thought experiments, decide check-points and engage in a process that will bring your plan to fruition. This is the longest and most dynamic part of how you and I will join forces, commit, and deliver what will eventually bring you closer to clarity, balance and fulfillment. Together we will monitor, adjust, readjust, assess, troubleshoot to keep you on track to achieving what has been visualised as a positive outcome.

Step 3: Mastering the process (usually 2-4 sessions)

As we move on together in the process of achieving your goals, you can expect to need my intervention less and less. Monitoring will be replaced by self-regulation, troubleshooting by proactiveness, and pitfalls by lessons learned. You will eventually feel confident that AchillesWay has become YourWay in the most enriched, efficient and beneficial way. Sooner than you may think, you will become your own mentor, your own coach, your own consultant that knows better than anyone your needs, your weaknesses, your strengths and most importantly what fulfilment means to you. You will create your own ‘toolbox’ which will contain not the solutions to your problems but the methodologies that will lead to those solutions. At that point, my job will be done as you will be the best person on earth to help yourself no matter what life throws at you.

*Sessions last about an hour and are concluded when the desired progress for the day is achieved and the whole process is on track. A first consultation session is completely free and aims to determine whether I can be helpful to you. My preference is for all sessions to be delivered in person at a location convenient to you (indoors or outdoors) but arrangements for online meetings can also be made.
