HAPPYCLIENTS

"Even though I could speak very well and think on my feet when I went to board meetings I would blush deeply and felt that I tarnished my reputation.

Working with Charmaine, we identified my narratives and worked on changing these. Results were instantaneous"

An Interview with me

ETIMY: “How would you like to be perceived by your clients?”

Charmaine: “As a partner that helps them to attain personal mastery in whichever areas they feel they need to grow.”

ETIMY: “What makes you good at what you do?”

Charmaine: “I am able to question in a way that helps the coachee to really start perceiving the root issues that are hindering therm from attaining their purpose. I can do this in a non-threatening way which helps them uncover issues that are deep and can profoundly impact on their growth and attainment of meaning..”

ETIMY: “What’s really fun to do in your job as a Career Coach?”

Charmaine: “Seeing people sustainably change and the excitement of my clients when they grow in ways they did not believe possible before being coached.”

Methods

Charmaine Raftesath has mastered her coaching and then evolved to a higher level by cultivating a unique coaching method derived from the work of Otto Sharmer, Nancy Kline, Mary Beth O ‘Neill, neuroscience, ontological coaching, social cognitive theory as well as behavioural and change theory.

“I uniquely focus on  insight into people’s perceptual filters and empower them to become aware of their own dynamics and be more able to understand the dynamics of other people within the business environment”

Through the process of framing involvement, developing vision and recognised methodologies such as the Conflict Resolution Model that is based on the Enneagram helps assist teams in resolving conflict in a more effective, but also long lasting way.

My thoughts

“Significant personal and professional challenges; my engagement with my clients allows me to navigate through these phases. I find professional knowledge and personal mastery, emotional intelligence and leadership guidance astounding. One of the greatest competencies is the ability to challenge your coachee’s thinking and views without making them feel inadequate and incapable.”
