Here's how you can land a competitive internship in Executive Coaching.

Se conna?tre soi-même et évaluer en conscience son appétence et ses compétences pour devenir coach est assurément l’étape numéro un. Si cette auto-analyse se révèle positive, la recommandation est de s’inscrire à une formation reconnue en coaching professionnel. ICF, la première Fédération Internationale de Coaching au monde accrédite des programmes spécifiques et sérieux qui enseignement en pratique les compétences du métier. La plupart de ces programmes proposent dans le cadre de la formation des stages non rémunérés mais supervisés par un enseignant, coach et mentor expérimenté. C’est la meilleure manière d’entrer dans le métier : suivre un parcours reconnu internationalement ouvre bien des portes auprès des prescripteurs du coaching.

Executive coaching can be a bit more challanging when we compare it with other areas of coaching. Why? Cos the client has an outstanding background or a title. So you need to improve yourself in terms of both soft skills and technical skills. The client wants to trust you on both of these skills to walk along with you. To build a trust based relationship is crucial and to ensure it you need to know your strengts and weaknesses as well.

Unfortunately it is still not well known in the business. People are confused about mentorship, coaching and may be even about teraphy. So making a conscious research about the firms and the executives who are familier with coaching is vital. It is a kind of market research and i strongly advice to make customer interviews and try to ask open ended questions to get insight.

? call it "the ecosystem effect" :) . The people around us directly effects our frequency. SO we need to understand and observe "what are we hearing? which behaviors are most frequent and expected around us?" all those are shaping our today and future. In Turkish we have a proverb: "Talk about your friend and i will tell you who you are" Again we need to search about people and firms. We should attend events to meet wtih them. when i attend an event i set a goal for myself "Ay?egül, meet with 3 new people" for instance. And encourage yourself to say hello and please have an entreance sentences about yourself and why executive coaching is important for you. Next how and why can you meet again ?

It's 2024, and internships for coaching and, ultimately, helping someone are unnecessary. Focus on demonstrating your capability rather than just titles or credentials. Theory and application are two different worlds. Showcase through your actions and experiences. Walk the talk, and being a walking billboard provides concrete examples of your skills and impact; you present yourself as a capable and authentic candidate who can excel in the role.
