Question 1

Accepted Answer

As defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), coaching involves a partnership with clients in a thought-provoking, creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. As a coach, I’ve gone through professional training in certain techniques and tools, possessing necessary skills such as listening, inquiring, empathizing and staying focused. I enjoy enjoy helping my clients find success, deeper meaning, and build a life they are proud of.

Question 2

A coach looks at situations objectively and encourages accountability in achieving goals. Life coaching is a great way to positively transform your life.

Question 3

How does coaching work? What's a typical session like?

Accepted Answer

During coaching sessions, we'll work together to identify your desired goals. We’ll dig deeper into your goals work together to create actionable steps to achieve them. As we continue to talk about your progress, we’ll identify obstacles and blocks prohibiting you from accomplishing your goals. Throughout sessions, we'll build a rapport built on trust and open communication.

Question 4

Is coaching the same as therapy?

Accepted Answer

No, coaching isn't therapy (however, I’d recommend that too). Many people incorporate both into their life as similar techniques are used. 
 
Therapy focuses on improving mental health by identifying and healing from past traumas. 
 
Coaching is goal-focused with an emphasis on the future. Unlike consulting where “answers” are expected, you'll work to actively participate in the exploration and setting of actionable steps.
