As your coach I will work with you to articulate and achieve your specific goals and to live a balanced and fulfilling life. I will provide support to you in these ways:
- Ask powerful questions
- Provide challenges, brainstorming and support
- Provide the structure and focus needed for you to stay in action
- Hold you accountable to action in between our sessions
What is coaching?
Coaching is now used by a wide array of people and it draws on a wide range of disciplines. And at the same time there are key differences between coaching and similar disciplines such as psychological therapy, counseling, mentoring and consulting. The analogy of riding a bicycle helps describe the differences between coaching and several related disciplines:
| ✓ | A therapist will explore what is stopping you from riding the bicycle |
| ✓ | A counselor will listen to your anxieties about the bicycle |
| ✓ | A mentor will share tips about riding bicycles |
| ✓ | A consultant will tell you how to ride the bicycle |
| ✓ | A coach will encourage and support you in riding the bicycle |

| COACHING IS… |
| · Asking questions to facilitate your own ideas |
| · Uncovering your inner wisdom |
| · Empowering you to learn without being taught |
| · Asking powerful questions |
| · Self-directed learning |
| · Creating energy around the desired present and future |
| · Deep, active listening |

I ask that at each session you come with a topic to focus on. This can be a place in your life where you feel “stuck” or want to develop further in becoming the bigger, more balanced and more fulfilled you. The topic is completely up to you.
