H. Yılmaz ULUS

Awareness Coach

​

I graduated from Computer Engineering from Middle East Technical University in 1997 and worked in IT for 13 years. For more than 10 years of my corporate life, I worked in various managerial positions, such as Division and Team Manager at Turkcell GSM operator in Minsk-Belarus, Istanbul and Ankara.

 

After deciding to change my career, I completed Gestalt Coaching Program which is an ICF (International Coaching Federation) accredited training in 2014. Since then, I have been working as an Awareness Coach. 

​

I have been accredited as a PCC (Professional Certified Coach) by ICF  in 2019.

​

Besides individual sessions, I have been working as a facilitator on collective production process and performance with artists and on community building with different groups and teams since 2014.

​

I co-created and co-facilitates the workshop "Being One & Walking Together" with Berna EfeoÄŸlu, where the intention is to build trust and connection in groups and communities.

Approaches I'm impressed by :

​

Council is a non-hierarchical and co-operative form of communication practice that builds trust. It's a method to support group processes and personal development, for vision and clarifying purpose, decision making, honouring achievement, for reflection, conflict management, peace and reconciliation work, for celebration and discovering the deeper, often unexpressed needs of individuals and organizations.

​

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) shows another way of communication which creates compassion instead of guilt, anger. NVC gives chance to look at events as they happen, to be aware of emotions and then to express what the need is, also listen to others similarly. 

​

Mindfulness is the mental state of being aware of what is happening inside of us and around us without any judgement and any effort to change them. Within that state, we can connect with ourselves and what is happening around us, then we can figure out what we need.
