Very simply, coaching is about transforming one's life from functional to optimal. Coaching is not therapy, consulting, or advising; although, there are similar techniques and certainly coaching has benefited from research in these areas. However, coaching focuses on the now, considering the past only as related to current and future goals, and coaching is very action-oriented, empowering and creating a vision of who YOU really, really want to be.
Clients experience a complete shift in energy, a deeper sense of daily motivation, greater relaxation, and deeper commitment to your own specific goals. Fundamentally, it is transformative within the context of your own values. Coaching is asking you the RIGHT questions, questions that are engaging, energizing, and defining. This is about really getting to know yourself in a way you never have before and deeply committing to that process of growth.
Coaching is a process of articulating your purpose, choosing long term goals, breaking them down into short term action items, tracking success, and building on your strengths. Just as in sports coaching, a career coach can bring greater focus and alignment of potential and performance.
Coaching is also very accessible because it is most commonly done over the phone, but can also be done by email or online chat. So, no traffic or gas, no travel time or parking. Instead, it's an empowering, uplifting, clarifying, validating, creative process of building your success.
