Evadesse trains and coaches individuals, entrepreneurs, and family business executives
“Meaningful Encounters and Mutual Growth”
The aim is to deepen understanding of the current situation to make well designed plans for the future.
Evadesse is backed by broad experience in entrepreneurship, and family-owned businesses in particular.
Also, a genuine interest in different people and organizations, professional certification in coaching and studies in both cognitive short therapy and applied psychology bring structure and quality to the meaningful and supportive encounters.
SERVICES
Clear structure and shared goal lie at the core of all encounters
Co-operation can take place in a coaching-type process building on each individual’s strengths and potential. Sometimes, however, progress can be hindered by past events, for which tools from cognitive brief therapy are utilised.
Coaching
Do you feel the need to pause with the support of a professional personal coach? Your situation may relate to challenges and reflections in work or private life, or simply a genuine desire to get to know yourself better with a helping mirror.
- Coaching is a solution-focused process where the client’s strengths and untapped potential are harnessed together into a stronger driving force, and where previous successes are identified and replicated more broadly.
- Typically, there are 5-10 meetings, each lasting 1-1.5 hours, either face-to-face or virtually.
- Coaching has been my approach for over 20 years, of which nearly 15 years I have been a certified professional coach. I am certified as an ICF PCC (ICF Global) and EIA Senior Practitioner (EMCC Global) coach. Additionally, I have a certification as a Mentor and Executive level coach.
- In addition to coaching done through Evadesse Oy and Bravemotion Oy, I liaise as a freelancer at AS3 Finland and the CoachHub network.
Cognitive Brief Therapy
Do you find yourself stuck with your thoughts, feelings, or behavior, and it has started to genuinely bother you? Cognitive brief therapy can bring goal-oriented functionality to get out of the jams.
- The framework is based on cognitive psychotherapy, but the process is literally shorter in duration and, for this reason, quite hands-on from the start.
- The number of sessions can range from 4-20, depending on the situation and the client. Sessions are generally 45 minutes to 1 hour long and take place virtually.
- Brief therapy is an active mode of therapy often including exercises between sessions. The focus is on the present, but harmful thoughts and behavior patterns from the past that hinder progress are identified and dealt with.
- Brief therapy is particularly effective in treating anxiety, social tension, and depression.
Tailor-made services
Especially in the context of family entrepreneurship I tailor services together with my Bravemotion colleague Tuija Janakka.
THE STORY
Eva Wathén
Evadesse’s history dates back to 2002, when I found myself just a meter away from complete burnout. A demanding job, small children, and external pressure led me to seek outside support and help for my situation. I ended up exploring the world of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and the Enneagram, guided by a therapist with a strong coaching approach. I applied what I learned to my own leadership context and successfully overcame the situation.
I gradually became deeply inspired by leadership and personal development, and began exploring coaching as a professional method. I took my first coaching course in 2005. Later, I became certified, and with encouragement from the course instructor, I founded a part-time coaching company, Evadesse, in 2012. Evadesse operated as a sole proprietorship until 2022, with the last few years integrated into my joint venture, Bravemotion Oy. In 2022, the business transitioned into a limited company as its operations expanded to include therapy services and small-scale investment activities.
THE CORE VALUES
I adhere to the following values in my work:
Meaningfulness
The foundation of growth and development
Encounters are based on genuine and strong presence to ensure growth and shared development. Nurturing meaningful encounters is at the heart of all Evadesse operations.
Ethics
The foundation of trust
Coaching and therapy require trust-based client relationships, and maintaining trust throughout the relationship is essential. Ethics and honesty are the building blocks of trust.
Energy
The foundation of presence
Presence requires active listening, questions, dialogue, and the building of energy, together.
