What is Life Coaching?
“Coaching concentrates on where clients are today and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be tomorrow”
International Coach Federation
Coaching is extremely valuable for anyone wishing to move forward in his or her personal and/or professional life.
A coach partners you in accessing your own insights and answers. You are the expert, you are in charge of the process, and your coach guides you to the hidden perspectives and solutions that are already residing within you. Rather than teach or advise, we believe in empowering people to access their own wisdom.
A coach facilitates you in generating new possibilities. The possibilities are limitless! Your coach will work with you to clarify your values and priorities and then to determine what you want and what it will take. We will do this by asking powerful questions, listening, clarifying and providing feedback. Safety and trust are reinforced as the coach withholds unsolicited advice, and suspends judgement and opinions. We support you in greater awareness of choice.
A coach guides you in achieving increased clarity and greater focus. A coach helps clients clarify what they are happy with now, what they want to improve and what it will take to realise their aspirations.
A coach supports you in clearing obstacles or barriers so that you can make the choices that will help you move toward what you truly want. With the increased clarity gained through coaching, obstacles and barriers become exciting opportunities and learning moments.
A coach supports you to stay focused, on track and accountable, so that you are making progress and moving toward your goals. Together we celebrate learning and wins along the way.
Coaching touches the mental, emotional and physical while supporting people in accessing more of what it means to be human.
