Your ideas + commitment + action = harmony in your life & relationships





Coaching is a process of creative dialogue aimed at accomplishing an important goal.

 

In that dialogue the coach acts as an empathic listener who provides the client an opportunity to identify, articulate, and clarify one or more goals that will enhance his/her life and/or relationships. Together, in a partnership, client and coach create step-by-step action plans that utilize the client's creativity and strengths as s/he works toward goal accomplishment. The larger purpose is to make the client’s life richer, fuller, more meaningful, and more rewarding.

 

Whether it be making a dream come true or transforming a strained relationship, the coaching dialogue is aimed at helping the client use his/her desire and commitment to put ideas and creativity into purposeful action.

 

Coaching is not psychotherapy and not a mental health service. Where therapy tends to utilize the past to shed light on the present and resolve emotional (psychological) conflicts, coaching uses the desired future to create and realize action plans and the steps needed to achieve them.

 

There is literally no limit to the kind of undertaking that is suitable for coaching. While a coach might offer suggestions or new perspectives to ponder, the client sets the agenda and the timetable, and determines what success looks like and when it is achieved. The coach’s primary function is to listen and ask pertinent questions.

 

Examples of the kinds of concerns for which people have used coaching to good advantage include:

 

     * Career change, job hunting               * Preparing for exams

     * Making a relationship work               * Getting better grades

     * Increasing communication skills       * Managing stress

     * Living a more balanced life               * Making an important decision

     * Losing weight                                  * Overcoming procrastination

     * Exercising regularly                         * Writing a book or paper

     * Finishing a thesis or dissertation       * Finishing a project

 

This list could go on and on. What is it that you would like to accomplish?
