Dainius provided very vivid examples of what coaching is and what it is not and could provide many examples from his own extensive experience.
He described coaching as "transportation business" when you take individuals from point A to point B by doing nothing but asking questions. The right kind of questions, of course. Coaching is about trust and change in behavior and attitudes.
Although related to Psychology and psychotherapy, Coaching a very different technique and the main difference is the focus. For psychologists, the focus is on the past and for coaching only the future matters. When asked about potential career in this field, Dainius said: "if you are happy to always be in the backstage, then go for it"

Students got information about the trends in a printing/publishing industry and what skills are required from potential candidates. Jokužys is one the few companies that are able put your ideas on paper. They are especially good at making all sorts of calendars.
