Welcome to the world of coaching!

EUROPEAN PARLAIMENT HEAD OF UNIT

Mrs Macarena Ybarra Coello de Portugal has coached me during the period Q4/2012 – Q1/2014. She has helped me greatly in meeting and exceeding my recent professional challenges.

Besides her high personal involvement and professional skills, she immediately understood the business-oriented objectives I had as well as the human and organisational constraints I was facing. She could show enough flexibility to allow a smooth organisation of the coaching sessions outside time pressure periods which was beneficial to the whole coaching process. She was always in a position to retarget the objectives and content of the coaching sessions towards new intermediate professional objectives. My challenges and objectives were of communicational and organisational nature (higher number of Unit members). Her analysis skills, open discussion and methodology allowed me to steadily and regularly progress in both areas. The more advanced in the process, the more a total mutual trust was reached and tangible results were visible. Those tangible results gave the opportunity to continue building on them by progressing on the same issues or setting up new targets.

As I concluded in the internal assessment to my hierarchy: Mrs Ybarra is a very good coach I would recommend without hesitation.
