What is Coaching?

Coaching is a powerful, collaborative relationship between a coach and a willing individual or group which enables, through a process of discovery and strategic actions, the realization of extraordinary results. Coaching is also a body of knowledge, a technology and a style of relating that focuses on the development of human potential. Simply put, coaching is an ongoing partnership that is 100% focused on YOU and how to create more of what you want and less of what you don’t want.

How is coaching different from consulting?

Coaching is similar to consulting, however, the coach is focused on WHO YOU ARE as well as WHAT YOU DO. Where consultants traditionally tell you what needs to be done, a coach will help you develop a plan for what needs to be done according to who you are, then helps you get it done without doing it for you. Having a consultant is a great idea for certain projects where you have limited expertise, but for creating a life fully in line with your integrity and your vision, only a coach will do.

How is coaching different from mentoring?

A mentor is someone who has been down the path you are currently on and has reached a level on that path that you want for yourself. A mentor tells a person how they did it and how people they know did it. A mentor is a great thing to have, but a mentor does not necessarily find your full potential and coax it out of you the way a coach is trained to do. Coaching takes into account that no path is the same for any person to any place. Having a mentor is a great idea, but always take into account that their path may not be the right path for you.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Coaching is not therapy. Coaches do not diagnose. Coaching is not a process for deep analysis of the past, not for healing mental health concerns such as chronic depression, psychosis, or addictions. Though discussions of a client’s past can be instrumental in a coaching session to reveal insights and understanding, they are not the primary focus of the coaching relationship. Coaching has a stronger focus on present actions, change, development, and goals than traditional therapy. Having a Therapist is a great idea if you have challenges from the past that prevents you from focusing in the present. A coach will suggest therapy to you if these challenges seem to keep you stuck.

How can coaching help me?

The best way to achieve your full potential is to know yourself, your strengths and your purpose and to align your beliefs and your behaviors up with your true self.

When you choose not to be in alignment you suffer setbacks that can be crippling. When you do not step in or at least towards your potential, you limit your life and your level of happiness. It’s absolutely possible to create your life and your business or job in sync with your true spirit, your true sense of self. With that comes the levels of success and achievement are your rewards.

I believe you have the answers to your own questions with you and it is my job to shine the light on that information. My coaching is dedicated to guiding you to know who you truly are by listening to your own inner wisdom and work with you to create a way of living and working that you are inspired by.
