Aviel's Solution

Client's Result
|
Sue was
profoundly self conscious, unable to summon the courage to express her
opinions in company. Her inability was in turn responsible for her
social isolation and virtual
invisibility at work.
Constant parental criticism within an authoritarian family, plus
growing up as the brunt of ridicule by her two much older adopted
siblings, had resulted in Sue becoming acutely withdrawn.
As an adult, she desperately wanted to overcome the intolerable
work issues she faced daily with her management, gain the confidence to
express herself, become less isolated and speak her mind freely.

|
One-on-one
with her Aviel coach, Sue had no difficulty expressing her
frustrations, nor explaining how being so timid affected her
relationships with management at work and her parents at home.
Sue's Coaching program focussed on finding and developing her
repressed self esteem, and developing her own acknowledgment of her
purpose and value.
The tailored Aviel coaching process simultaneously enabled her to
appreciate the conclusions her colleagues had formed, and recognise the
basis of the exasperation from her management's perspective. One task
within the coaching series was to have Sue write an autobiographical
account of her workplace relationships from her superior's perspective.

Placing Sue
in her manager's situation gave her a clear understanding of his
position and subsequently allowed her to communicate in the work place.
Through exploring the perceptions of others, Sue gained an insight
into her own qualities and came to understand how her situation was
self-perpetuating.
This keen perception of other people's point of view augmented the
liberating techniques developed with her Coach and has given Sue
renewed confidence to the point where she has now enjoys public
speaking, and regularly expresses her new found poise at 'Toastmasters'.
