What is Coaching?

Coaching is a way to help you make the best use of your resources. It is a way to bring out the best of your capabilities. Coaching helps you set goals and reach them. Coaching is results oriented and can focus on virtually any area of life: business, career, family, health, personal growth, spirituality, intimacy, simple living or financial development.

Coaching is not therapy. It's not treatment. It’s not consulting. Coaching is about helping you obtain the results you want in life and a coach uses a variety of tools to help clients achieve the results they want. Coaches teach, explore alternatives, inspire, act as a sounding board, build confidence and capability, facilitate learning, ask questions, listen with compassion, develop skills, create ownership, provide a challenge, act as a model, and explore potential. A coach acts as a partner, providing clients with tools, support and structure to achieve more than they might be able to do by themselves.

Coaches do not explore past issues. While past issues may emerge in a coaching session, a coach is typically concerned with helping clients achieve results in the present and future.

	How long does it take for you to see results? Good Question. You will start to feel good about the decision you made to hire a coach from the start. You want to reach a certain destination, achieve a certain goal and create a life that is enjoyable and fulfilling. On this journey it is reasonable to think that you will have successes and setbacks. Many times one area of your life impacts another so we want to address anything that will hinder you from Getting Success! I suggest a commitment of six months but no less than three months. After all coaching is not an event, it’s a process!
