Christos Papaioannou

Profile

I am a qualified and accredited professional coach (European Mentoring and Coaching Council accredited coach at practitioner level) with years of experience in leadership roles. My purpose is to help people connect with themselves and others, enabling them to make a difference. I am driven by the belief that everyone’s potential could be limitless. This belief derives from person-centred theories that see individuals as whole, resourceful and creative – even when systems put barriers and do not allow us to see this. At the same time, humans are predominantly social, connection and relationships-seeking beings, and I believe in the collective power of groups and organisations to bring change.

Coaching approach

I believe that people are whole, resourceful and creative. I work to help (re)discover this, finding answers, solutions and direction. My approach is collaborative; I work with you. Coaching is client-led; it is like going for a walk in the countryside with you leading the way. I might suggest some alternative routes if I see that there are interesting and helpful areas to explore. During the coaching engagement, I maintain a helpful level of curiosity and I will likely be asking several questions, in an insightful, exploratory and purposeful way. This will help you to identify what’s actually true for your situation, including the real causes of your problems and frustrations. At times, I might be encouraging, and at others challenging or silent, creating a space for you to think; these help you achieve clarity on where you are in your life and the changes you wish to make.
