The coaching partnership involves setting goals and working on the reality surrounding them. From this options are considered and a clear and manageable way forward is decided. At all times it is the client that is control of the content, Merete steers the process to allow that time and space.

Coaching closes the gap between where a person is and where they want to be, helping them to do so more swiftly than if they had acted alone. This can be to tackle a challenge or to make ‘great’ even better.

Clients have said they enjoy the way she challenges and moves them forward using a calm, gentle manner and sharing her sense of fun. In each case they have moved forward with clear focus and positive results.

Merete continues to work closely with The Coaching Academy having been invited become a Course Manager. This involves her working with fellow trainers and new coaches to provide them with a high standard of training and development in coaching. She is now the Senior Course Manager overseeing and supporting the Course Manager team.

Her success as a coach and her previous background in education and training made her a successful candidate when she applied to become an Assessor with The Coaching Academy. She is one of the team of Assessors, observing coaching sessions with trainee coaches, feeding back to them on what has gone well and ways forward to improve further. The feedback to her from the trainees is always positive and appreciative of her supportive approach.
