 Coaching is profoundly different from consulting, mentoring, advice, therapy, or counseling. Coaching can provide many opportunities to help people discover and achieve their dreams. People need support to survive and thrive in the game of life. Life Coaches support and encourage, without passing judgment or holding anything back. Coaching is like having a personal trainer for your life!!
A great coach is someone who can elicit greatness in another.
A Transformational Life coach can:
- Empower an executive to become an inspiring leader.
- Assist an entrepreneur bring a new business to profitability.
- Challenge individuals to accomplish goals and dreams at an accelerated pace.
- Facilitate an individual's ability to identify perspective in their everyday life.
Coaching is the act of empowerment -expanding human awareness through powerful questioning techniques while discovering and using their gifts and talents MUCH faster than they could do alone.
The coaching process addresses specific personal projects, business successes, general conditions and transitions in the client's personal life, relationships or profession by examining what is going on right now, discovering what obstacles or challenges there might be, and choosing a course of action to create your life the way you want it to be.
A Transformational Life Coach knows the client has all the answers to every question or challenge deep within them, even if those answers appear to be obscured, concealed or hidden inside. A life coach asks provocative questions to help you clarify your values, beliefs, goals, personal meaning, and pinpoint goals based on them and will help you find more balance and joy in your life.
A great coach listens - really listens with empathy and compassion, without judgment to what you are saying and what you are not saying. Can you remember the last time you had ever been listened to so well that you started to think what you were saying might really matter? That what you had to say was important ?
Great coaches fulfill several human fundamentals:
- The longing for an ally or partner on one's path, particularly during challenging times.
- The longing to feel and be understood.
- The need for permission to change, particularly when you know doing so will sometimes mean a loss of understanding, or even growing away from, old friends and family members who are in your life without your best interest in mind.
- The power of commitment and accountability; a person wanting something strives harder for it because of a promise to another.
A Coach...
- Is an advocate for you and only you.
- Will support you in every area of your life and take a stand for what you want to manifest in your life.
- Is a collaborator. We work alongside you, moving in concert toward the same goals - yours.
- Is a supporter as you set and achieve the goals of your life. Asking for support is a sign of intelligence and savvy.
- Tells the truth, even about topics that your friends steer clear of. Sometimes a coach challenges you to step up to the plate and hit that home run. Has anyone ever influenced your life by suggesting that you make decisions in your own interest? Have you ever been challenged or nudged along when you really needed it? Coaching is structured nudging.
- Is motivational. Wasn't that what you already thought when you went looking for a coach?
- Is objective and brings fresh perspectives. A coach will help you realize your unlimited potential and possibilities!
Coaching Is Not...
 Ultimately, a great coach, regardless of whether we label it business coaching, executive coaching, personal coaching, whatever coaching - all boils down to one thing - brings out the very best in yourself and others.
Coaching is and does not...
- Try to change or disagree with your beliefs, values, or goals.
- Attempt to provide all the answers. We prompt you with questions and we co-create solutions.
- Use the coaching relationship to act out our own hang-ups, exhibit our own cleverness, or imagine we're a parent.
- Fail to tolerate your shortcomings.
- Lecture you or tell you what you ought to do.
- Emphasize trying to understand "why this is".
