So, we have defined special programs in different levels and domains and various formats. Competitive advantages and differences: The difference of our empowering programs from other training courses in this field is not only paying attention to training, but also concentrating on the efficiency of the programs and empowerment of audiences in using the lessons, practically in a real projects. This goal has led us to the adoption of the following approaches in designing and implementation of the programs: Audience assessment, deep understanding of his/her needs and wants, and designing the programs according to their requirements and demands. Focusing on audience empowerment (instead of just training) and simultaneously increasing the knowledge and skills by combining the theoretical training with practical work in the genuine projects and case studies. Focusing on programs efficiency by using innovative, attractive and efficient methods and instruments in training and avoiding common and boring methods. And the most important: Supporting and coaching after the course end, in order to deepen the lessons learned and empower the audience in the real practical world. In order to enhance the programs efficiency and facilitating their usage for organizations and companies, all mentioned approaches are summarized and developed as CES style (Clinic Empowerment Style) and all programs would be provided in different levels, formats and facilities which are described in the next pages.

5 COACHING PROGRAMS

6 About Coaching What is Coaching? PM Coaching programs efficient Empowerment Coaching has been defined in many ways. The essence of coaching is: To help a person change in the way they wish and helping them go in the direction they want to go. Coaching supports a person at every level in becoming who they want to be. Coaching builds awareness empowers choice and leads to change. It could be said that It unlocks a person s potential to maximize their performance. Coaching helps them to learn rather than teaching them. The coach helps the client to achieve their personal best and to produce the results they want in their personal and professional lives. Coaching ensures the client can give their best, learn and develop in the way they wish. International Coaching Community Coaching vs Teaching, Training, Counseling, and Mentoring: Differences & Advantages Teaching & Training Teaching passes knowledge from teacher to student. The teacher knows something the student does not. The opposite is true in coaching. The client is the expert and the client has the answers, not the coach. Training is the process of getting knowledge skills or abilities by study, experience or teaching. The trainer by definition is the expert, and the training course is likely to be targeted on specific skills for immediate results. Training is also likely to be one to many rather than one to one. Counseling Counseling is working with a client who feels uncomfortable, or dissatisfied with their life. They are seeking guidance and advice. A counselor works remedially on a client s problem. A consultant provides expertise and solves business problems, or develops a business as a whole. A consultant deals with the overall organization or specific parts of it and not individuals within it. Consultants only indirectly affect individuals. Mentoring Mentoring is when a senior colleague, seen as more knowledgeable and worldly wise gives advice and provides a role model. Mentoring involves wide ranging discussions that may not be limited to the work context. A mentor is a sponsor with great professional experience in their client s field of work. Both mentoring and coaching are concerned mainly with achievements in the present and the future
