Solution-Focused Coaching for positive change: I’m here to listen and help you discover new paths.
Find Practical Solutions and Achieve Your Future Goals with Coaching
In a coaching session, we focus on your future goals—what you want to achieve and how to get there. Using a structured Solution-Focused Coaching approach, based on my training at the Helsinki Brief Therapy Institute, I help you tap into your strengths and unlock practical solutions. I also use Reteaming, a goal-setting method that identifies resources, tracks progress, and celebrates achievements. Solution-Focused Coaching, which draws on insights from Brief Therapy, empowers you to move forward in a practical and motivating way.
Certificated Coaching: I am proud to be completing my advanced training with the Helsinki Brief Therapy Institute, a program accredited by the International Alliance of Solution-Focused Teaching Institutes (IASTI). This training will lead to my certification as an Accredited International Trainer in Solution-Focused Approaches.
From Global Tech to Guiding Growth: My Journey of Discovering New Paths
Let’s put this first thing first: I really thrive on seeing clients leave our coaching sessions empowered and ready to take on their next steps.
For over 20 years, I’ve worked in global high-tech businesses, helping companies and people grow.
I studied in Finland and Sweden, then joined startups in Helsinki and Stockholm, where I built skills in marketing, strategy, and exploring new business opportunities.
Later, I moved to Italy, restarted my career in Rome and got transferred to a large corporation in Milan.
I eventually landed in Silicon Valley, where I held management roles working with the latest technologies like AI, Cognitive Computing, and the Internet of Things.
In San Francisco, I co-founded a school with local investors and served on its board, gaining firsthand experience in leadership and making a difference in the community.
Now, as a Solution-Focused Coach, I use my journey to help individuals and teams navigate change, find clarity, and create meaningful progress—no matter where they are in life or work.
FAQs
What should I do if I experience technical issues and can’t connect to my video appointment?
If you have trouble connecting, please send a message to Hello@jaanaheikkila.com, and we’ll resolve the issue as quickly as possible. To ensure a smooth session, make sure your mobile device or computer is fully charged before the meeting.
How should I prepare for my coaching session?
To get the most out of your Solution-Focused Coaching session, find a quiet, distraction-free space where you can speak freely. You can take your session from anywhere—whether it’s a quiet private room, a work meeting room, a beach or nature spot, or even while walking outside in a park—wherever you feel most comfortable and focused on discovering new solutions.
What can I expect during an online coaching session?
Solution-Focused Coaching is a goal-driven, future-oriented approach designed to help you find solutions rather than dwell on problems. Sessions are collaborative, with targeted questions that help you clarify your vision, recognize past successes, and take actionable steps toward your goals. The process is empowering, practical, and results-focused.
Are coaching sessions confidential?
Absolutely. Your privacy is my highest priority. As a professional Solution-Focused Coach, I adhere to strict confidentiality and ethical standards, ensuring that everything shared in our sessions remains completely private.
How is solution-focused coaching different from traditional therapy?
While traditional therapy often explores past experiences to uncover the root causes of challenges, solution-focused coaching keeps the focus on the present and future. Instead of analyzing problems, we work on leveraging your strengths and taking clear, actionable steps to move forward.
Is Solution-Focused Coaching right for me?
Solution-Focused Coaching is ideal for anyone looking for clarity, motivation, and actionable solutions in areas like personal growth, career transitions, and relationship dynamics. The only requirement is an internet connection for a video call on Google Meet or Zoom—so you can connect from wherever suits you best.
