Frequently Asked Questions: (FAQ’s)
What is coaching?
The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as an ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.
Your coach will help to focus, motivate, question and challenge you so that you can live the life you want to live. The focus is completely on you and your goals, helping you improve and grow as a person. Coaching assists you in becoming an expert on yourself. Coaching helps individuals to achieve goals in their personal, family and professional areas of life.
“If we did the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves.” — Thomas A. Edison
Who uses a coach?
The answer to this question is-anyone! Anyone, that is, that wants to live a more fulfilled life.
Coaches are not just for athletes, but the parallels are similar. You hire a coach to achieve your goals in business, family, spiritual, and personal life. Working with a coach will make this process faster, more effective and quite simply more fun. A coach is someone to help you see things as they truly are, help you conquer fears and bounce ideas off of. While working with a coach you will undoubtedly discover more about who you are and what you are capable of. Working with a coach can help you define and achieve your vision for your life.
How does coaching differ from counseling?
The difference is that counseling or therapy often looks to the past in order to heal the present. Counseling is about uncovering and recovering from pain.
Coaching, on the other hand, is about discovery and possibilities. It is growth oriented and is about designing a better future. Taking you from where you are now to where you want to be. In coaching, the starting point is an individual’s desire for a more extraordinary life.
