Coaching?

I work as a jobcoach in Malmö since the 3rd of september. I like most of my colleagues and the duty that I have but it is not an easy task to deal with people in general and vulnerable groups in particular.

If a person has been unemployed for a long time and has lost all the confidence in the society and its system, it takes more than time and energy to motivate him/her to be engaged in a constructive dialogue.

The current economic crisis across the world is having a tremedous impact in the lives of millions of people and Sweden is not an exception. The challenge for me is to find a mutual forum for building a trustworthy and cooperative relationship with my participants so that we could end up getting a common solution for all individuals.

Human realtions are delicate and deserve genuine dedication. Coaching can be compared to a long journey where the driver and the passenger complement each other. Everyone of us are responsible for our actions but at times the odds could be against us and we might need to change our ways of coping with some issues because some problems need to handled differently than before.
