Services

Through my brand, BinaryWords, I offer coachingservices, using the Awareness to Action methodology, as well as other tools for personal and professional growth.

I hold an ACC (Associate Certified Coach) credential from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and a certification in ATA Enneagram from Awareness to Action International.

What is coaching?

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines professional coaching as «partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.»

That is, the coach accompanies the coachee (or client) in their own process of self-discovery and transformation, creating an atmosphere of trust and creativity that allows the client to explore their situation, take control and find solutions that truly work for them, in line with their identity and values.

The person on the right wears glasses, is smiling and gesticulating with their hands, and their speech bubble contains a perfectly tidy wool ball that's connected to the tangle from the other bubble, as if they were untangling it through the conversation

Through the course of several sessions, the coach works with the client on:

  • Defining very clearly the goal he/she wants to achieve,
  • Exploring his/her current situation relative to that goal,
  • Creating an action plan to achieve it,
  • And following that plan step by step, working through obstacles, removing roadblocks, making discoveries, and applying every learning along the way.

What is Awareness to Action?

Awareness to Action is a methodology to support personal and professional growth, created by Mario Sikora and developed in collaboration with his business partner, Maria José Munita.

It´s based on a model of the Enneagram of Personality that is specifically formulated for executive coaching, although it can be applied to any kind of coaching.

This model has two dimensions: the three instinctual biases and the nine cognitive strategies. When combined, the result is 27 personality profiles, each of them characterised by a certain set of patterns (ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving).

Understanding these patterns makes it easier for the client to get to know themselves better, accelerating the coaching process and multiplying its benefits.

What goal can I set for myself?

Only you can answer that question: what do you want to achieve? It may be a big goal or a small one, personal or professional. The important thing is that it´s YOURS, that it represents a significant milestone for you. Something that you find motivating and challenging at the same time. And something for which the outcome depends mostly on you, not on others.

In the testimonials section you can see several examples of personal and professional goals that my clients have set up for themselves.

What can I expect from the sessions?

My methodology combines three essential elements:

  • The power of self-knowledge, to help you to discover what really moves you when you´re working in autopilot.
  • The power of words, to reprogram the most powerful and extraordinary computer there is: your brain.
  • And the power of action, to allow for a real transformation to happen, one that translates into tangible life results.
