Our Story DO Life Coaching Costa Rica is led by Irene Víquez, a seasoned publicist and digital marketer who transitioned into coaching after many years in the communications industry. She holds international certifications as a Personal Life Coach and as an Innova Coach (Entrepreneurship & Innovation Coach) from TISOC, The International School of Coaching, recognized by the International Association of Coaching (IAC), and she is an active member of the Asociación Costarricense de Coaching Profesional (ACCP). Her mission is to accompany people through a process of awareness and self-management, fostering empowerment so they take responsibility and control over their lives and achieve personal, professional, and business goals by recognizing their internal potential. The practice also includes associate Giselle Rovira, a licensed psychologist from the University of Costa Rica and TISOC-certified Life Coach with over 25 years of experience in educational and clinical psychology, who enriches the center’s workshops and services. Irene also volunteers with the Fundación de Déficit Atencional de Costa Rica, providing coaching processes and workshops to mothers in vulnerable families. Programs & Trainings Life Coaching / Personal Coaching, A one-to-one accompaniment process for individuals seeking significant change. Using a structured communication model, the coach acts as companion, guide, mirror, and motivator to help the coachee gain awareness of their current situation, resources, and abilities, and build strategies to reach desired objectives. Sessions last approximately one hour and are offered in-person or via Zoom. A typical process comprises 3 to 6 sessions, with a minimum of 3 recommended. The first session is offered free of charge. Coaching para Emprendedores, "Definiendo mi camino como emprendedor": a comprehensive entrepreneurship coaching program based on TISOC planning tools. It requires a minimum of 9 sessions (around 10 total), each lasting between 1:00 and 1:30 hours. The curriculum guides the aspiring entrepreneur to visualize their entrepreneurial identity, discover strengths and skills, overcome weaknesses and limiting beliefs, select or refine the ideal business idea, identify necessary resources, create a communication line, define the business model, and establish an economic plan and action route. Clients may customize the number of sessions and select specific topics if they do not wish to complete the full program. Operational execution tasks, such as building a website or writing a formal business plan, are defined and explored in sessions but are carried out by the client with external professionals. Digital Communication & Marketing Program, A distinctive accompaniment program blending consultancy and coaching tools, specifically designed for coaches, psychologists, mentors, and independent professionals. Rather than focusing solely on operational tutorials, it delivers the strategic and conceptual knowledge required to create and manage an integrated digital communication strategy. Curriculum modules include defining digital objectives, brand personality, target market, blue-ocean value proposition, essential website effectiveness factors, SEO fundamentals, consumer journey and micro-moments, content planning, content types, social network selection, online advertising, and understanding digital ecosystems. Sessions run a minimum of one hour (1:30-2:00 hours for groups), with bi-weekly frequency recommended; total session count depends on an initial diagnosis and specific client needs. Coaching Workshops, Group workshops enriched by Giselle Rovira’s psychological expertise, addressing personal development themes and complementing the one-to-one coaching offer. Webinars & Events, Periodic online events and webinars, such as "Cómo manejar la mente en tiempos de crisis," providing tools to manage negative thoughts and fears during difficult periods.
