First I will tell you what it is not…
* it is not a counsellor
* it is not a therapist * it is not a mental health professional * it is not someone who dives deeply into your past
A Coach is about NOW!
People generally seek the support of a coach when there is: * a change they want to make * an obstacle in their way * they feel stuck and want to move forward, or * they have goals they want to achieve.
A coach is someone who helps you figure out : * where you are at * where you want to be * and how to get you there
A coach does this by helping you : * develop an effective plan * overcome obstacles in the way * celebrate your successes
* And by supporting you along the journey
This analogy is often used:
…you are a car trying to get from point A to point B and a coach is the bridge that helps you get there.
How does a coach do this?
* By asking you lots & lots & lots of questions. * By listening. * By asking more questions. * By helping develop a plan * By using coaching exercises & techniques * By providing armfuls of support to help you get there.
It’s been an extremely helpful resource for me and now I’m so grateful to be able to help others in the same way. Not sure if coaching can help you? I would be more than happy to jump on a free
clarity call with you to see if it is a good fit for your needs.
