COACHING IN ACTION - ZOI A. LIOLIOU
Business Coach,
Skills Development Consultant,
Author of the book "Coaching in Action"
I started my career as a part-time employee in my father’s small Greek craft business in the ready-to-eat food sector. There I began to develop my commercial understanding and understand business operations, customer needs and market dynamics. I then continued my career in sales and marketing roles in a multinational company in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. In 2006, upon completing my postgraduate studies in Human Resources Management, I moved into training and skills development. Today, I combine coaching, mentoring, supervision and education in my practice to support people who wish to make a sustainable behavioral change with measurable results. I chose this combination as I believe that in order to achieve a change, the transition from theory to practice is necessary, which requires self-awareness and personal responsibility. Through the sessions I provide to individuals and groups, people are empowered to unlock their potential, face challenges and turn knowledge into action. My personal experience as a trainee, mentee, coachee, supervisee has enabled me to utilize the resources and practices that contribute to development and sustainable performance improvement.
As coach and mentor I believe that every person is able to discover and utilize the resources they need to make the changes they want to achieve their goals, so I make sure to facilitate each of my clients to cultivate their self-awareness and responsibility.
As a coach, mentor, trainer & leader Supervisor I care about creating a space where supervision becomes a collaborative, empowering and reflective process of co-creation (co-vision vs super-vision), where mutual growth, professional flourishing and collective learning are supported. A safe and dynamic space where Thought, Feeling, and Action (Think-Feel-Act) coexist, allowing coaches, mentors, trainers and leaders to learn, evolve and flourish.
As counselor and adult educator For skills development, I design and implement programs for small and medium-sized businesses as well as for individuals who wish to improve their skills: sales, management, leadership, stress and time management, cultivating resilience at work, goal setting, communication, etc.
I was born in Thessaloniki and raised in Kavala. Since 2000 I have been living and working in Athens. I studied Economics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I hold an MBA from the University of Sheffield and an MSc in Human Resources Management from the Athens University of Economics. I have been trained in Rationale-emotional and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (RE&CBT) from the Hellenic Institute of Rationale-emotional and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
In my free time, I volunteer at Non-Profit Organizations, take voice and dance lessons, and do gymnastics.
My first book "Coaching in Practice" is published by iWrite Publications.
