DoSo! Mission

Mission

The mission of DoSo! can be expressed in one sentence: "Become who you are!" It means that you already have all the potential in you. Some of us are aware of it, some of us need a helping hand to see it and embrace it fully. DoSo! can give you a hand so you can fully enjoy the life that you want for yourself.

Approach

DoSo! offers short-time coaching / counseling from 5 till 15 sessions based on your needs. Each session lasts 60 minutes. Every coaching / counseling program starts with an intake meeting. The objective of the intake is to set up the clear objectives and deliverables of coaching and decide on the focus areas for counseling. There, it is also being decided how many sessions are needed, how often are the meetings taking place. It is also a moment to see whether there is a good click between you and the coach and whether both parties want to work further together.

Next to the individual sessions, DoSo! Coaching & Counseling offers also workshops. You can participate in the workshop alone or with your girlfriend(s). This is a fun and creative way to discover what is important for you in your life, what are your talents and what you want to achieve in your life. The workshops last from 2 - 4 hours depending on the subject.

What is coaching?

Coaching is a partnership between coachee and coach. It is a method of guiding a person or group of people, with the aim to achieve a desired goal or develop specific skills both in private and professional life. There are various techniques and methods used in coaching. The approach used at DoSo! is called the integrative approach. It means that the person, not a technique or a method, stands in the spotlight.

Coaching is not about giving you the best advise. Coaching is about asking questions so that you can find your own way in whatever you do that brings you joy and fulfillment.

For whom is coaching?

Coaching is meant for people who stand firm on their feet and who are looking for a partner that helps them to realize their goals in order to live the life they want to have.

What do I achieve thanks to coaching?

First of all thanks to coaching it becomes clear what are your real goals in life. Do you live the life that makes you happy? Do you use your potential to the maximum? The second step is to find a way to meet your goals. No one knows us better than ourselves but we are also often unaware of the motives of our behavior. Sometimes, even if we know what we want for one reason or another we cannot achieve it. Through asking questions a coach will help you to lit the light on the parts of yourself you can be unconscious about.

What is counseling?

Counseling is working with a client who feels at the moment uncomfortable, or dissatisfied with hers/his life. Counseling focuses on the problem. Sometimes as a consequence of certain live events that happen in our lives we feel lost and don't know which way to go anymore.

Counseling is more about understanding why we act in certain way, what blocks us in our lives, look back at our early years and understand them. During counseling you focus on the past and present experiences in order to create self awareness and knowledge. It involves discussing emotional matters, thinking patterns, behaviors, and unresolved issues.
