‘I like to help others do it themselves.’ This somewhat paradoxical sentence is at the heart of Rixt’s view of coaching. Instead of providing solutions, she creates space with the right questions to allow someone to come to new insights themselves.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

How do you recognize a good coach?<\/strong><\/strong>A good coach must be able to listen without judging. And are able to apply methodologies that are scientifically substantiated. So that you can support the other person effectively. Sometimes you also have to be able to get it sanded. I always say: I like to help others do it themselves. You try to make someone think for themselves. And draws conclusions himself. And starts moving himself. <\/p>\n\n

What didn’t you know when you had just graduated (and do you know now)?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

When I started my training, I thought that coaching and guiding were almost the same. I now know that there is a substantial difference. Guiding often means that you give direction and sometimes also come up with solutions. Coaching requires a different attitude: more restraint. You have to ask the right questions so that the other person can take full ownership of the process. Where I used to be more inclined to help or think along, I now allow space to be created, so that the other person can come to insight and movement themselves. <\/p>\n\n

Why did you join Buddy?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Buddy’s vision fits perfectly with my own down-to-earth approach to coaching. I don’t like vague slogans like ‘becoming the best version of yourself’. What suits me is a no-nonsense approach, where I can really trust what works. Buddy’s focus on scientifically proven methods makes coaching much more credible and reliable for me. <\/p>\n\n

And just like Buddy, I strongly believe in the power of individuals to make an organization stronger. My goal is to support them in their growth, so that they can not only realize their own potential, but also help their organization as a whole. <\/p>\n\n

Finally, is there a secret recipe for happiness at work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In my opinion, you don’t experience happiness at work by doing more, but by doing nothing every now and then. Then there is room for creativity and reflection and you can adjust to what really matters. For example, I recently quit a job as an internal supervisor in primary education, because I noticed that I was no longer in the right place here. This realization arose during the summer holidays in a tent on Terschelling. Only when I was doing nothing did I see what I had to do <\/p>\n\n

Are you curious about what coaching can do for you? At Buddy you can easily get started with a coach who really suits you. Contact us today.<\/a> <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
