Life Coaching

What is coaching?

Coaching is a powerful one-on-one relationship that engages an individual in a deep and honest exploration of their goals and the actions required to accomplish them. Coaching supports, challenges and holds the client accountable to make consistent (often dramatic) progress towards the realization of his or her most important aspirations.

Through coaching, people are able to clarify their vision, overcome obstacles, change self-defeating beliefs and habits, build trust and goodwill, turn a business around, double sales or personal productivity, practice inspiring leadership, change an organization’s culture, or do whatever else is called for to achieve extraordinary results. People use the coaching relationship to focus on both personal as well as business goals.

How is coaching different from consulting? Therapy?
A consultant imposes answers and solutions on a client. A coach teaches and shares expertise where necessary but is more likely to draw answers out of the client and then sticks around to help the client implement new actions, measure progress and accomplish their goals.

A therapist delves deeply into the past and works on deeper feelings and “issues.” A coach focuses attention on the future that a client wants to create and then helps them take all of the actions necessary to realize that future.

Who uses a coach?
Coaching is for anyone who is motivated to become or accomplish more in life. Most people in coaching are already successful and want to take their personal development or business results to even greater heights. A coaching relationship will work for you if:

• You can identify a gap between where you are and where you want to be
• Are willing to learn and make new choices
• Have the persistence to do what it takes to make progress
