"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice."
- William Jennings Bryan
WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching is an interactive partnership to support you in getting where you want to go in your personal and professional life. It is about today and the rest of your life, not the past and why things happened. Some things that coaching is not are: therapy, training, or consulting. Coaching is about WHO you are, your values, and how you want to live your life. It is about choice and involves thought, action, and movement. Think about why great athletes have coaches, to support them in being their absolute best!
The International Coach Federation
defines coaching this way:
"Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives.Coaches help
people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.
Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful.
The coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources,
and creativity that the client already has." |
Making changes and new choices involves stepping out of the 'comfort' zone into the 'uncomfort' zone. This is a normal and expected part of growth. Anticipate it and embrace it! The joy is in the process, the journey itself. As you make new choices based on your values and set strong boundaries you will strengthen your personal foundation, the basis for becoming whoever it is you want to be.
WHY DO PEOPLE HIRE A COACH?

"In the end, it is important to remember that
we cannot become what we need to be
by remaining what we are."
