Shiri Ben-Arzi

Founder, Director & Trainer

Mentors

Tamar Meisel

English-speaking Mentor

Hi, my name is Tamar, and I am the Health and Medical Coaching mentor for English-speaking students.

For me, being a mentor on this training program means bringing together many of the things I care deeply about: health, humanity, caregiving, resilience, listening, and helping people find their way through difficult circumstances. And because I don’t just want to do this work myself – I want to help other coaches become thoughtful, compassionate, capable practitioners.

I hope to see you with us in the next program.

Cécile Garache

French-speaking Mentor

Bonjour, je m’appelle Cécile GARACHE et je suis mentor en Health & Medical Coaching pour les étudiants francophones. Pour moi, être mentor dans ce programme de formation, c’est créer un environnement d’apprentissage bienveillant et stimulant, dans lequel les étudiants peuvent approfondir leurs compétences, prendre du recul sur leur pratique et progresser avec confiance. C’est aussi être là pour écouter, amener à se questionner lorsque cela est nécessaire, apporter un feedback clair et constructif, et accompagner chaque étudiant tout au long de son parcours d’apprentissage, tout en plaçant les exigences professionnelles et éthiques au cœur de la pratique du coaching.

Je me réjouis de vous accueillir dans le prochain programme.

Olga Matsuki

Greek-speaking Mentor

Γεια σας, με λένε Όλγα Ματσούκη και είμαι η μέντορας του προγράμματος εκπαίδευσης στο Health και Medical Coaching για τους ελληνόφωνους φοιτητές. Για μένα, το να είμαι μέντορας σημαίνει να κάθομαι στη θέση του συνοδηγού και να κρατώ τον χάρτη της πορείας, όπως ακριβώς στους αγώνες αυτοκινήτου.

Θα σε συνοδεύσω σε μια απαιτητική και συνάμα συναρπαστική, αξιομνημόνευτη διαδρομή, γεμάτη νέες εμπειρίες και φρέσκες προοπτικές, με στροφές που οδηγούν σε ανακαλύψεις — ώστε να εμβαθύνεις τις δεξιότητές σου και να διευρύνεις τις επαγγελματικές σου ικανότητες ως coach. Ελπίζω να σε δω μαζί μας στο επόμενο πρόγραμμα!
