Do you guarantee results from your coaching?
Yes. I guarantee that if you follow your goals and action steps, open yourself fully to
the coaching experience and dedicate enough time and effort, you will get great
results. I use various tools and methods that will be tailored to your individual needs.
Every session, you will learn a different technique and I will give you some
“homework” to incorporate the new learning into your life.
With a track record of happy clients, I am confident that if you join one of my
coaching programs it will help you make positive steps towards the life you aspire.
Where will I meet my coach?
I am currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I originally come from Greece,
where I love spending a few months every year. I also love traveling. I am an
evangelist of the “remote” world. We can meet online or via various platforms (like
zoom, google hangouts) and I will be there for you despite your or my physical
location.
If you are based in the Netherlands we can also meet in person!
What if I don’t live in Amsterdam or in Europe?
You can live anywhere around the world and choose to receive your coaching with
me over Zoom, Skype or email. No matter the location or the time-zone, we will
make it work!
How many coaching sessions do I need?
- I’m joking. Coaching is NOT therapy. You will not have to see me for the rest of
your life, talking about things. I have designed my coaching programs to be short
and sweet.
Being an NLP practitioner (Neurolinguistic Programing) I follow proven methods of
developing successful habits. My premium coaching program is 3 months long (you
need 30 days to create a new habit and 90 to create a new lifestyle).
After that we can have some check-in sessions, to make sure you keep up with the
great work.
Coaching is unique for everyone. If you would like to follow a more flexible approach
or need more time with me, let’s connect and discuss. You know yourself better
Do you guarantee the privacy of my information?
Absolutely! Sofia Kakkava Coaching guarantees never to use your details or
anything you say without getting your permission first. At the end of the program, you
will be asked to write your feedback and you can choose whether you want this
information to stay confidential or not.
Is coaching confidential?
Coaching is all about trust. Our sessions will be a safe space for you to express
yourself and all details will remain confidential.
Do I need to sign a coaching contract?
Yes. A coaching agreement is a good way to help my clients feel that they will get a
quality service, but also to get commitment from them, which is essential. The
agreement sets out the terms and conditions for a successful delivery of the
coaching service.
I am using a simple but comprehensive agreement as a good foundation for your
coaching adventure.
What is the difference between coaching and counselling?
Counselling is a discipline, in which the counsellor identifies the reasons for the
person’s feelings and behaviours and offers ways to handle a particular issue.
In coaching, we look ahead. With various tools and techniques, the coach supports
the person to set clear goals & develop a mindset that will help the coachee achieve,
grow and be happy.
Where and how do we do a coaching session?
Sessions are typically over video-conference. This allows you the freedom to take
sessions from your home, office or any location.
Do you mind if I also have another advisor or coach?
Absolutely not! There is no such thing as exclusivity in your personal development.
Go out there and get inspired by the ones who inspire you!
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
● Do you dream of living financially free?
● Could you use some help in dealing with stress, daily pressures and a
continued feeling of being overwhelmed?
● Are you looking for someone to bounce your ideas off?
● Are you ready to get strategic about your next steps?
● Do you want to take action but you feel stuck or not sure how to start?
● Feel like you are constantly procrastinating?
● Would you love to design a business and a career instead of just waiting
passively for something to happen?
● Do you imagine being somewhere better, but you don’t know how to get
there?
● Would you like a step-by-step method to decide what to do next?
● Are you looking for an accountability partner?
● Is it time to let go of some of the limiting beliefs and maximise your own
potential?
If you’ve answered “yes” to 3 or more of these questions, you are a very good
candidate for coaching…. consider this your invitation.
Without direction and action, the lives we most want exist only in our imagination.
Sometimes, it’s working one-on-one with a professional that can make all the
difference.
It is my first time coaching. What do you recommend?
To enjoy the journey! There is nothing greater than investing in YOU! Congrats for
taking the decision. It shows a lot of growth already.
I remember the first time I got coached. I really really wanted it, so when I got the
chance, I felt so grateful and honored. I had yet to realise that I needed to put in all
the work to transform into the person I am today. Limitless. Highly recommended!
How did you end up coaching?
I love this question because the answer is quite funny. I am a coach because my dad
told me. WHAT? Yes!
I was graduating from University of Athens in Psychology in 2014. I was planning to
take the counselling route and I was looking into Master programs in London. I knew
that what I wanted to do is to help people live a better life, be happy and powerful.
One day my father came to me excited because he had discovered this apparently
unique (1 of the 2 in the world) Scientific masters program in Executive & Leadership
Coaching in London. I am not going to lie, I was a bit hesitant at first (my father was
in the greek army, no connection to coaching btw). When I dived deeper into it, I fell
in love with it and realised that this is the future…. And here I am. Thanks dad!
