WHAT IS COACHING ABOUT?
Are you ready to make a significant change in your life, ready to tackle that area that holds you back? You are the hero in this story. I am the person to partner and team up with you to assist in that next step. Your healing, success and ultimately joy in your life, is already in you – it may seem hidden but let’s work together to discover your full potential. Let’s talk about what coaching is and isn’t!
The ICF – International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “a thought-provoking creative process that allows clients maximize their personal and professional potential”. People are often not sure how it is different from therapy and consulting. It is not therapy, although I do have a degree in Psychology, I am not a mental health professional. However, I do work alongside and in concert with therapists. Therapy usually is focused on the past or processing previous trauma. Whereas coaching is present and future focused. We may talk about the past in how it informs your present actions and attitudes focusing on if this is serving you well.
It is different from consulting in that it makes you the expert in regards to your life. A consultant is an expert advisor. With coaching we are going to partner to address the outcomes you are wanting. You are not broken, you have everything within you or within your reach. I will partner with you in an interactive process to see what maybe blocking you from moving in freedom, helping you achieve your full potential for the present.
