INDIVIDUAL COACHING – EPSO selection process for managers

Over this type of one-on-one coaching, Carmen helps you approach the demands of the selection process in the best possible way. For the application stage, we work on how to draft texts for the questionnaires and application forms. CV writing is, as well, something we do not leave to chance. Moving forward, we prepare for the interview(s). Here, we work on understanding how your experience is relevant to the role. Nonetheless, we further stress how your personal traits may support your performance. Understanding the ins and outs of the assessment center is critical in producing superior results at this stage. We go through every aspect of each test, understanding what is being assessed, and what techniques to use to score the highest possible. Moreover, you will learn to bring your best self to succeed at the management simulation exercises. You may have to prepare a presentation to a high-level panel, as well, as part of your competition. For example, Carmen can help you plan the drafting of your briefing report. Working under high pressure is another aspect you get to practice during the session.

GROUP COACHING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Apart from the individual or EPSO group coaching masterclasses that you can still use for your specific career needs, the Group Coaching program provides a broader scope for development. Taking place over the course of six months, you commit to sustained growth across different areas of your life, which are personal, professional and career development! The format of the Group Coaching program is to be as personalized as possible, that is why the groups will be formed around 7-8 participants that will be growing their ambitions together as a group, getting knowledge, experience, and guidance from me, but also from the other team members!
