"Individual mentoring/supervision"

I wanted to delve deeper into learning techniques, as theory alone is not enough. To get feedback from a more experienced coach, to notice and understand my weaknesses and strengths. Vlad clearly explained how important it is, and with the help of what questions you can get to the client's true request. During the session, he guided and prompted me where to stop and asked more in-depth questions. Taught me to pay attention to the words behind which the client's doubts are usually hidden and which I have let slip through my fingers. Mentoring is useful for beginners in the field of coaching, Vlad is a master at conveying information, shares his experiences and tells how not to do things the right way.
I recommend working with Vlad to become a demanded and qualified coach.

I want to share my experience working with Vlad on mentoring sessions.
At the mentoring sessions, we practiced various techniques for working with clients.
After going through one technique and listening to a coaching session on it, you get the impression that everything is easy, understandable, and logical, the questions flow out of one another, building up into a structure. Here is the true request, and the elaboration of the interventions and the action plan. But that's all when you listen to your teacher.
Then you try to conduct the session yourself and you start to stammer, the questions don't seem consistent, the answers aren't what you expected to hear, and you don't know what to do next! How do you direct the situation in the right direction, how do you not screw up in front of the client, how do you bring it to fruition? Mentoring helped me a lot in dealing with all the nuances!
We looked at every question, every answer, considered different options - what if the client had said this, and then that, what would be the next question better, this or that, or should we dig deeper, dig deeper to get to the client's true request?
And so on with each technique, and subsequently we overlapped one technique with another, knew which questions to add and which were better left unasked! My opinion is that mentoring is the key to successful coaching.
You will understand the system, build a clear structure, sharpen your knowledge and use it easily in a coaching session.
I used to prepare for a session with a new client, but after mentoring with Vlad, I no longer do this. It saves a lot of time and looks more professional!
I recommend to everyone who wants to improve their knowledge, to develop themselves as a coach - go through individual mentoring with Vlad!

After receiving basic coaching training, I realized that I lacked practice, and what exactly I wanted an experienced coach to evaluate. It was with this in mind that I came to Vlad Shakh for mentoring.
One mentoring session allowed me to assess my strengths as a coach and gave me a clear understanding of what still needed to be worked on.
Vladislav showed me how important it is to hear the client's doubts, how to ask the right clarifying questions, what to avoid in the session to bring the client to the result. He paid a lot of attention to details in the work of a coach, from making contact to the end of the session.
Mentoring is a very important stage in preparing for serious work for the result, in gaining confidence and increasing the coachee's level of competence.
I personally recommend that all coaches, especially beginners, take mentoring from Vlad Shakh.

I went to mentoring solely for feedback and to understand what I was doing right and what I needed to work on. After each mentoring session, I get confidence, and another effective and accurately practiced technique to work on. I can't imagine how I can work without feedback. It's like a mini-exam on technique and confidence that you are doing everything right and bring the client to the result. Therefore, all beginner coaches definitely need to assess themselves and tighten up their shortcomings.

Vlad, I want to thank you for your professionalism and very high level. Before that, I didn't understand where I had made mistakes and what my shortcomings were in the coaching session. After mentoring it became clear to me where I needed to dig deeper so that I could easily and confidently bring the client to the result. I recommend mentoring with Vlad Shakh to all beginners!

Vlad, thank you for the individual mentoring, it was a valuable experience for me. I saw my strengths, as well as points that could be improved, paid attention to the focus on details and the nuances of leading a client in a coaching format. I am already applying the acquired knowledge in practice.

Vlad, I wanted to thank you for the mentoring sessions we held. Working through each technique in step-by-step mode with you has given me confidence, and most importantly, sensitivity in conducting sessions. What do I mean by sensitivity? It is that during a session, at a subconscious level I already know what question to ask, without following the clear structure of the technique.
The knowledge you gave me is invaluable! I believe that every beginner and even experienced coach should definitely attend coaching sessions to build confidence and quality of work. I recommend you because your responsible approach to work will not make you wait long for results!!!

I want to recommend mentoring with Vlad without a doubt. It's more than mentoring. It's an individual approach, it's identifying strengths and things worth working on. This is attention and professionalism from Vlad. This is clarity and tactfulness, this is effective training in a short time.

I needed mentoring with Vlad in order to get a highly professional and comprehensive assessment of my session in terms of compliance with the eight coaching competencies and the assessment of my level of technique.
As a result of Vlad's mentoring, I received a list of very sensitive mistakes that I myself had not even been aware of. At the same time, these mistakes did not affect the effectiveness of the session, and were even nuances, but the recommendations for their elimination significantly improved the quality of my further work.
I recommend that all coaches, regardless of their experience, mentor with Vlad and identify their blind spots in order to improve the quality of their techniques to the highest level!

Vlad, I want to thank you for mentoring me on the Walt Disney technique.
It was important for me to get a reflection of my work with expert comments. I took for myself the need to keep pauses, not to interrupt the client, to expand the range of questions in each section of the technique. People come to me for mentoring, too, and I know how important it is to see during the session (and not afterwards) the weaknesses and shortcomings in the work. This allows you to better adjust the system of conducting the session and immediately work it out. Mentoring speeds up the process of improvement many times over. I recommend it to everyone and thank you again.

Good afternoon!
I want to share with you a coaching session with the founder and head of the European Coaching University Vlad Shakh, which took place on 11.11.2021.
I participated in mentoring for the first time and acted as a coach for an already certified coach with 40 hours of practice experience with his coaching colleagues. Vlad acted as a mentor for our session at the same time, i.e. at the same time he gave an assessment and correction of my conduct of this session.
The technique used in this coaching session was GROW.
Vlad's request: "I want to become a sought-after coach! I lack the understanding of how to do this.
During our meeting, I defined for myself a number of the most important points that I should use for my further work with my clients, which I describe below:
1. During this session Vladislav gave me an important understanding that the number of hours of practice with clients, mentoring, etc., i.e. such measurable indicators as numbers, percentages, statistics are a weighty factor of mini-presentation of oneself as an expert, both at the beginning of a coaching session and in further setting of client action plans (for example: desired number of paid clients, cost per coaching session, etc.)
2. It is not always most important for the coachee to follow the sequence of questions asked to the client, if the answers are already obvious from the client's previous answers.
It is very important to take the client into the future during the session, so that he or she is motivated to act from there.
4. It is always important to check the client's goal for achievability by SMART to make sure once again that the client is on the right track.
5. It is important to operate on the client's own phrases from the set-up contract.
6. It was important for me to understand that you always need to be specific about the timing of the client's steps, i.e. writing posts, storis, reels, showing video testimonials, etc.
7. For myself, I was able to take note for the future of not asking alternate questions, ideally open-ended questions.
8. My merit in the session can be considered the fact that I helped my client to think about the presence of a person from his environment at the time of education (supervisor on a coaching course), who would help him faster to reach his goal to become a sought-after coach, who could give a good advice or hint.
9. No need to give my personal assessment of the client's action plan at the stage of summarizing the session.
10. During our session, I got an insight: an important aspect for attracting paying clients is the regular recording of coaching sessions with clients and presenting them on Youtube.
11. a very valuable thing for me in the final session were Vlad's words as a mentor about his sincere desire to improve my coaching sessions in the future by adjusting my questions and, as a result, to make the sessions more professional.
I sincerely thank Vlad for the opportunity to be a coach for him, as a client, and to him, as a mentor, for the valuable knowledge and skills acquired at this session, and especially for the important instructions regarding my work as a coach.
Thank you!

I am sharing my results about mentoring with Vlad Shakh. My request was to see my strengths and growth areas in working with business clients. Initially I liked the format itself. I conduct the session, and Vlad acts as a client and mentor at the same time. My gratitude for the fact that he did not "play" the role of the client, and brought to the session his real live questions from business. So the stakes were high and the work was intense and very interesting! What I got as a result:
- recommendations on how to improve my presentation
- the subtleties of working with clients from the business
- I realized that I am really good at it.
- And, most importantly, what I need to work on, and where I just need to be bolder. Thank you for the atmosphere of trust, openness, care and generosity with which you share your experience. I recommend mentoring with Vlad! You will get more than you expected!

I want to thank Vlad for his professional mentoring. My goal was to practice the technique "Working with Fears". Vlad was the client. He got into the role perfectly. Throughout the session he gave constructive comments. Highlighted strengths and weaknesses. After the mentoring I got a profound understanding of how to work more professionally in my sessions. If you want to check your competence and improve your coaching sessions, make an appointment with Vlad for mentoring.
