What is coaching?
A coaching relationship is designed to specifically to meet the needs of the client, whether that be working through a difficult life transition, being more productive in your career, achieving greater balance in your life, or having more meaningful relationships.
Coaching can also help you find direction in life when you feel "stuck". A professionally trained coach can assist you in reaching your goals and dreams by providing an objective and focused strategic relationship.
Coaching involves a series of interactive conversations, generally scheduled on a regular and/or periodic basis. These conversations are deliberately tailored and designed for the individual being coached to unlock his or her potential for continuous improvement and performance.
Coaching can...
- Help you focus on future possibilities, not past mistakes.
- Unlock your potential.
- Close the gap between who you are today and who you want to be in the future.
- Take you from "I wish....." to "I am..."
- Give you a partner, an advocate and confidante.
- Force you to ask questions you wouldn't have asked yourself.
- Help you learn to live without a struggle.
- Teach you to operate out of conscious choice, not out of other people's expectations and demands.
- Help you to stop feeling controlled by others and start holding yourself accountable for your life.
A coach helps you...
- Take yourself more seriously.
- Get more honest with yourself.
- Set better boundaries.
- Give yourself more credit for the great things you do.
- Appreciate your uniqueness.
- Set better, clearer goals.
- Live more consciously.
- Become more "aware" and live in the moment more often.
- Take more risks.
Your coach will...
- Offer support, structure, tools, accountability and objective insights to further your agenda.
- Have your best interest at heart and doesn't have an agenda of their own.
- Explain how to achieve what you want and how to set benchmarks for performance along the way.
- Help you strategize but not run the race for you.
