Coaching is a dynamic and powerful life tool that blends the best concepts from business, psychology, philosophy, sports and spirituality. Coaches work with clients on a variety of topics: from business and professional issues to personal and spiritual concerns. A coach is an advocate, a sounding board, a Cheerleader, an accountability partner, a truth teller and a supporter

Coaching involves dialogue between a coach and a client with the aim in mind to help the client obtain his ideal life. This is achieved by helping clients establish their priorities,  clarifying their values. and co-creating value based goals and a plan to achieve them. Your coach will support you   to achieve these goals by co-creating an action plan that is congruent with your core values.

Every day you make choices to do or not do many things. These choices may range from profound to trivial and each one has an effect that makes our lives more fulfilling or less fulfilling, more balanced or less balanced, that makes your process of living more effective or less effective. Life coaching helps you learn how to make choices that create an effective, balanced and fulfilling life.

Your  coach will help you to:

1.Discover  the answers within yourself

2.Clarify your  values   

3.Make life-changing decisions

4.Expand your views beyond your  perceived limitations

5.Encourage you to acknowledge your core strengths

6.Explore real and perceived stumbling blocks to progress

7.Achieve a sense of purpose

8.Live a fulfilled and authentic life

What Coaching is Not

Coaching is not therapy, counseling or psychology. Although the coaching process may have roots in the field of psychology (and intervention often follows some psychological models), the actual process of coaching should not be mistaken for a therapeutic intervention. One of the most obvious differences between therapy and coaching is that therapy tends to focus on feelings and experiences related to past events, whereas coaching is future oriented towards goal setting.

A therapist typically works with a dysfunctional person to get them to become functional.A coach works with a functional person to get them to become exceptional.Clients can use the services of a therapist during the same time period that they are working with a coach.

Coaching is also often likened to consulting and mentoring. However, there are distinct differences between these disciplines. Consultants tend to provide advice, whereas the coach helps the client discover his or her own solutions. Mentoring involves sharing the benefit of specific experience concerning a specific goal in question, while a coach may provide powerful coaching without familiarity of a specific goal.

Coaching uses a more holistic approach. than any of these disciplines. With the client, the coach examines the  situation, creates a plan of action, and works synergistically  to resolve the issue. Your  coach does not have to be an expert in your business. Your coach collaborates with you  to create a solution using your  knowledge and answers.

Your coach does not have the answers but  she does have the questions that allow you to find your  own answers and clarify your  own values.
