What, exactly, is a Professional Coach?
First, let me tell you what Professional Coaching is not. Coaching is not consulting. When you hire a consultant, you expect them to have the solutions to your problems. When working with a professional Coach, the answers to your issues come from within you. Your coach will ask deep, direct, probing questions that keep you on a path of self-discovery.
Professional Coaching is also not Psychotherapy. When you work with a therapist, you are looking to the past to solve an issue that is causing a behavior that no longer serves you. When you come to me as your coach, you come as the expert in your life and work. We focus on the future as you define your goals and take the actions to get you there so you get more of the good things you want in your life.
The coaching relationship is confidential, respectful, caring, and it is all about you. We work on your dreams and your goals. Through a series of sessions, we talk about your dream life until it is really clear to you, then I support you as you take the actions to get there. |
