Our founder, MCC Professional Expert Coach Berna Türköver, discusses the coaching profession on SHOW TV’s “Take Care of Yourself” program with Ebru Akel.

It is important to emphasize that, just as is the case worldwide, life coaching is now establishing itself as a profession in Turkey as well. In collaboration with UNIVERSITY (E-GOVERNMENT-APPROVED) and ISTANBUL NLP ACADEMY, we are offering this program—designed to help you pursue the highly sought-after profession of “LIFE COACHING”—in accordance with INTERNATIONAL standards. We invite all participants who wish to grow and develop—with the distinctive quality of the UNIVERSITY (E-GOVERNMENT APPROVED)—to join our “PROFESSIONAL LIFE COACHING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM.” With the Life Coaching Certification Program, you can take control of your life, achieve balance in your work, family, and social life, realize your goals, and guide your clients through the process of change and transformation they desire, making a difference in their lives. You can become a Life Coach by completing training that meets international standards in accordance with the Coaching Professional Standards published by the Professional Competency Board. To practice coaching as a profession, you must enroll in a global program with international accreditation. 

“Coach” is a word of French origin. It refers to a vehicle—a carriage—that transports people from one place to another. The term “coach” was used in the 1840s to refer to private tutors. From 1889 onward, it began to be used to describe individuals who trained athletes. In the context of developing one’s own leadership style, the term was first used by Dr. Dick Borough in 1985. Its popularity grew steadily thereafter, and coaching schools were even established. Currently, approximately 7,000 members in 30 countries are working in this field. The reason for its rapid spread is that it yields highly effective results in a short period of time.

After briefly outlining its history, we can explain its relationship to NLP. NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is aimed at using the conscious and subconscious mind with effective sensitivity. It aims to restructure the functioning of mental processes. To achieve these goals, it identifies a series of strategies. It examines our minds and how we think. It analyzes how we use language, as well as its role and consequences in communication. It determines how we sequence our actions to achieve our goals. In coaching, the key principles are as follows: Everyone possesses the necessary abilities and can develop them. People make the best choice they can at that moment. Human beings are action-oriented. If you want to understand, you must take action. All these aspects of NLP are directly applicable to coaching because coaching requires simple and practical techniques, and NLP more than meets this need.

Now let's talk a little about coaching:

A coach is someone who helps individuals discover themselves, solve their problems, and take advantage of opportunities. Rather than directing you or answering your questions, a coach helps you find the answers by asking questions. A coach helps you determine what you want from life and what your priorities are, set goals, and see how to achieve them. In doing so, a coach takes a solution-focused approach and does not dwell on the past. Coaching is a journey taken side by side… images (8)

A life coach, on the other hand, is someone who helps individuals—who complain about being too busy with work to take a break, unable to spend time with their loved ones or themselves, or who feel uncertain about what they want to do and become in life—to find balance and give meaning to their lives. As a result, individuals identify the goals they wish to achieve to improve their quality of life and determine what skills they need to reach those goals; through the action plan developed, they succeed in integrating these activities—which give them positive energy—with their other responsibilities.

• They become the leaders of their own lives.

• They define their vision, mission, and personal goals.

• They acquire the skills needed to achieve these goals.

• Their sense of spiritual fulfillment in life increases.

• At the same time, they lead more productive lives by fulfilling their responsibilities.

• Their relationships with those around them improve.

• They maintain a balance between their personal and professional lives.

• They stop procrastinating and take action.

• They promote self-discipline.

• They use their resources more effectively.

In short, a life coach takes the cards you’re dealt and helps you play that hand to the best of your ability—sometimes by changing the rules of the game or finding a better one.

WHO WORKS WITH A COACH?

• Those looking to make career decisions

• Young people who are undecided about their career choices

• People who have difficulty planning their lives

• Those who, for one reason or another, are unable to achieve their dreams and goals

• People experiencing relationship problems and those who want to improve their communication—whether in their professional lives, family relationships, or friendships

• Those who want to develop their various skills or acquire new ones.

In short, anyone who wants to achieve their dreams, goals, and aspirations but is struggling to do so—and anyone who needs someone to support them on various issues and provide them with encouragement and energy—can have a life coach by their side at every moment of their life and benefit from this mutual exchange and support for as long as they wish. “Every acorn yearns to fully express its true nature and, in order to become an oak tree, uses its full potential and seizes every opportunity. Within each of us, there is a natural desire to be whole and to attain wisdom. The strength of this desire varies from person to person. In some, it is quite conscious, while in others it may lie hidden deep within; it may form the core of one person’s life while remaining on the periphery of another’s—but it is always there: To become whole is a fundamental human need.”

Rachel Naomi Remen, as a coach, says:
• I will encourage you to set the goals you truly want to achieve.
• I will challenge you to do more on your own than you have done so far and help you succeed.
• I will help you stay focused so you can reach your goals faster.
• I will provide you with the resources and support you need to accomplish more.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Our true desire in life is for someone to help us realize what we are capable of.”

A coach is someone who shows us what we’re capable of achieving in life. If you, too, share this mission and your goal is to become a successful life coach in Turkey’s rapidly growing personal development sector, then this internationally recognized training program—tailored specifically for you—is the perfect fit.
