BARCAN GÜLAÇTI
Professional Coach · Goals & Meaning
One-to-one, online coaching, wherever we are in the world.
“Everything looks fine. But something is missing.”
“I know what I want. I just can’t seem to start.”
“One day, I tell myself. That day never comes.”
Maybe…
Or simply…
Feeling this isn’t a flaw. It’s a sign.
What if you had a roadmap?
G / GOAL
Together we'll clarify your goal, why it matters and how we'll measure your progress.
Speeding up without knowing where you're going only gets you lost faster.
R / REALITY
We'll look closely at where you stand, move past assumptions and, where needed, use measurement to reveal the real picture.
Reality isn't an obstacle; it's the ground you move on.
O / OPTIONS
We'll compare the alternatives and build together the path that fits not only your goal but also your life.
The right path isn't just the one that gets you there; it's the one you can truly walk.
W / WILL
Together we'll build a system that turns your decisions into action, and your actions into lasting progress.
Dreams give direction. Decisions open the way. But it's your steps that write your story.

I sold lemons at the market. I worked as a deckhand on yachts and made döner in Barcelona. I joined a start-up as a sales representative and left as a regional manager. I tried my own venture too; it didn’t work out. I became an engineer in the middle of the ocean. I’ve set foot on five continents. I’ve dived at one end of the world and surfed at the other.
I wanted to touch every life, and I lived some of them. At some point I felt lost among all those lives and meanings.
In the end, I found my own meaning in walking alongside you on your journey. With every new story, I touch the lives I once wanted to reach.
The path is yours. I’m with you.
One is incomplete without the other.
A path without a goal drifts; a goal without meaning wears you out.
Together we’ll grow them both. — Barcan

AFTER A PROGRAMME
We regularly follow your direction and growth together. Exclusive to those who have completed a programme.
All sessions are 50 minutes, online.
Let’s find the right journey when we meet →Let’s meet before you decide.
In a 15-minute introductory call, let’s see together what you need. No pressure, no promises; just getting to know each other.
This call isn’t paid to me; it goes to a good cause. You make a symbolic donation to a charity of your choice, and I make one in your name. That way, our journey begins with two good deeds.
Thank you! I’ll read your story and get back to you. The journey has already begun.
You can now pick a time that suits you for our 15-minute call.
Pick a time to meet →A structured process for clarifying your goals, analysing where you are now, weighing your options and turning your decisions into concrete steps. We don't just talk. With the GROW model, research-based approaches and practical tools, we make progress visible and sustainable.
Yes. Sometimes the first aim of coaching isn't to reach a goal but to understand which goal is truly yours. If you're thinking "I want something to change, but I don't know where to start", that is a good enough starting point.
No. My aim isn't to hand you ready-made answers but to create a space where you can see your own answers more clearly. But the process isn't passive: together we'll analyse, compare options, design experiments and track progress. The decision will be yours, but you'll reach it from stronger ground.
No. Coaching doesn't replace mental health treatment. Rather than healing the past, it focuses on where you want to get to from today. Unlike consulting, it doesn't offer ready-made solutions; the decisions and the responsibility stay with you. If I think a different kind of expertise would serve you better, I'll tell you openly.
A single conversation isn't designed to solve everything. But when we focus on the right topic, it can be very valuable for clarifying a decision, gaining a new perspective or finding a concrete next step. The Clarity Session doesn't promise a big transformation; it aims to shine a light on the right spot.
The work doesn't end when the call does. Based on what you noticed in a session, we set small steps for you to try in real life. In the next session we look at what worked, what you learned and what has changed in you.
No, nobody can. What I can offer is a serious process in which you see yourself, your values and your priorities more clearly. I can't guarantee the outcome, but we can make sure the process isn't left to chance.
That is often a good sign. Coaching isn't only about reaching a goal; it's also about getting to know yourself, what you want and why you want it. Your direction can change. What matters is knowing why it changed.
If you're open to thinking, to taking responsibility for your own decisions and to trying new paths, coaching gives you a powerful space to work in. If you're looking for ready-made answers, quick motivation or someone to run your life for you, this work may not be the right fit.
On Zoom, 50 minutes. Wherever you are in the world, we schedule according to your time zone. The Goal Programme is completed within 2 months and the Transformation Journey within 4 months. You can reschedule a session free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. Everything we talk about stays between us.
Fill in the form and share your story briefly. Then we have a 15-minute introductory call. Its purpose isn't to persuade you into a programme but to see whether working together is right for both of us. You don't need all the answers to begin. Being open to growth is enough.
