Experienced Organizational Development Consultant with over 12 years experience in Learning & Development, Executive Coaching and areas involving Behavioral Analysis, like Recruitment, Assessment and Development Centers, Outplacement.
My approach to training is based on either of two principles - experiential learning or behavioral coaching.
The experiential learning programs are based on David Kolb's adult learning cycle of four phases. These programs include games that are unique and specifically designed to create the context where specific behaviors can be observed, conceptualized, and transformed into take-aways for our everyday lives.
Behavioral coaching is a technique that uses clear behaviors needed to develop specific skills. The training programs using this technique are more like coaching sessions where the objective is manifesing the behaviors and overcoming the obstacles that keep us from doing that.
Empowerment Centric Framework - developed but not yet implemented - This framework connects the 3 main pillars of development - Training, Coaching and Management - providing a framework for every employee to become the master of their own development. More details to follow.
I became passionate about this in 2012, when I discovered myself how coaching can change your life. Since then I have developed myself in 3 areas: Executive Coaching, Career Counselling and Behavioral Coaching using accredited psychometric tools (Human Synergystics LSI, GSI, OCI)
Executive Coaching - I worked with several clients over the past years to support them in choosing the best way for handling their issues. The clients could choose the way we worked - in coaching programs or unique solution-focused sessions.
Career Counselling - In my experience as a recruiter I always assisted the candidates that weren't selected by my clients, to plan the next steps in their careers - sometimes even involving radical changes.
Behavioral Coaching - Sometimes it can be difficult to align to specific (industry) standards. I assisted people in several projects to overcome the barriers that prevented them from behaving efficiently.
I was involved in several Assessment or Development Centers - from planning and organizing to assessing participants. I've used standard methodologies (like SHL) but I am a big fan of customized methodologies and competencies.
I was involved in 2 outplacement projects - one I developed end-to-end and in the other I was just an assessor.
I recruited candidates mainly for the IT industry, using behavioral analysis to produce the most objective candidate report possible. I believe people should be hired based on a fair evaluation.
