When I wrote this book with Rafael Bisquerra, our purpose was clear: to explore the evolution of coaching and how it has taken elements from psychology, management, mentoring and education to become what we know today.

Over the years, we have seen how coaching has continued to transform. The pandemic marked a turning point, bringing coaching into new digital spaces and demonstrating that accompaniment and growth know no physical barriers.

But one thing remains the same: coaching continues to be a powerful tool for personal and professional development, a way to transform the way we lead, learn and relate.

Thank you to those who have read this book and to those who continue to bet on coaching as a driver of change. Here’s to many more years of evolution and learning!

How do you think coaching has evolved in recent years? I read you in comments.

Our focus has been on developing communication skills so they can effectively lead their teams and act as company spokespeople. Communication is essential in Senior Management, especially when addressing large audiences, both in person and online.

The coaching process covered several key areas:

– Speech preparation: Structuring and delivering clear messages.
– Post-speech evaluation: Reflecting on performance for improvement.
– Rehearsals and eliminating fillers: Practicing to perfect delivery.
– Emotional management: Managing nerves and fear that can impact communication.
– Multilingual communication: Enhancing fluency in international contexts.
– Handling audience questions: Preparing for confident and clear responses.
– Communication during uncertainty: Equipping leaders with strategies for calm leadership in uncertain situations.

Their growth and leadership skills reflect their commitment to being not just good engineers, but great leaders.

Professionals in this sector have a strong desire to grow. However, despite rapid promotions, they are not always prepared for leadership roles.

Teams in this sector are often made up of young individuals who advance quickly. Leading peers of the same age can be challenging. It’s not enough to be a leader; you also have to look like one, where many struggle.

Professionals often avoid developing leadership skills, relying on their technical experience. Transitioning from a technical role to leadership requires more than knowledge; it involves gaining new competencies.

Coaching helps tech professionals break out of their “technical shell” and focus on key areas like communication and non-verbal behavior, essential for effective leadership and team management.

Coaching focuses on:

– Communication: Enhancing clarity in conveying ideas.
– Behavior: Developing behaviors that inspire trust.
– Non-verbal communication: Using body language to reinforce messages.

These processes benefit leaders and create a more cohesive, productive work environment. Watching tech professionals step into leadership roles confidently is one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

Coaching can be essential for improving these skills. In our sessions, we addressed:

– Identifying personal barriers
– Developing assertiveness and respectful communication
– Managing stress and workplace pressure

Coaching helped the engineer express their emotions, enhance collaboration, and manage stress, resulting in a more balanced and effective performance. If you face similar challenges, coaching can be a valuable tool for your professional development.
