Drawing on my experience as a consultant and lawyer, you can count on my support in career development, team management, burnout, wellbeing, confidence building, conflict resolution and mediation.
I am Ildikó Kópé, coach, mediator and would-be psychologist. I started my career in law and worked for nearly 10 years in finance and HR at multinational companies. Then, building on my past experience, I switched to helping professions. In my spare time I swim, do yoga, photography, or spend time with my husband, we travel or play with our puppy.
My initial motivation in becoming a coach was to help my team professionally as a people manager, and when I was appointed as a manager of a team in South East Asia, coaching basically found me. And mediation is a beautiful combination of all the expertise and attention I have acquired as a lawyer and coach. I believe in peaceful conflict resolution and often use coaching tools in mediation.

I believe in lifelong learning, I train myself continuously and tirelessly to be able to support my clients to the best of my abilities during the coaching process, because if the coach is not doing well, they cannot do their helping job properly. For the next few years I would like to concentrate on my studies in psychology and I am also an enthusiastic student of Gestalt coaching.
The 'art' of coaching is now one of my greatest passions: I find it exciting to support my clients to unravel their problems and find a way out of their challenges (be it business or life coaching). It fills me up to meet so many new people week after week who trust me and together we can experience lows and highs. My coaching sessions are in Hungarian, English and Slovak.
There's a haiku by Ákos Fodor that goes, "It doesn't matter where you come from, it doesn't matter where you go, it doesn't matter if you go. Listen". This poem expresses very nicely what coaching means to me: I follow my clients like an empty bottle, and I look at the sessions the same way, not listening to preconceptions, sympathies, impressions, so that I can remain non-judgmental.
As a photographer, photography and visuality are very important to me. During the phototherapy we will coach you with your own photos or photos we have taken together. Both goal setting and development are done by analysing photos, which can be very revealing about our emotions, desires and goals.
Photography is a brilliant tool for visual people, but the focus is on coaching during the sessions.
You don't need to be a photographer to do phototherapy, you just need to love photography or simply be a visual person, maybe you do a lot of instagram and love taking pictures.
Photos taken during coaching will be a memento to remember your goals and to be proud of your progress.
For companies I will prepare an individual and tailor-made proposal, please send me an email in this case.
