What is Coaching?
- The International Coach Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
- Others might define coaching as:
- Discovery-based process to help people get results by bringing out the best in themselves
- A healthy, encouraging and grace-filled way to challenge assumptions that lead to a shift in perspective, emotion or attitude uncovering new possibilities.
- Coaching operates from the perspective that the client has the answers within themselves. Through deep listening and powerful questions, a coach enables the client to gain clarity about what they really want.
- Coaching maximizes potential, moving people from good to great as they are ready.
- Everything shared between the coach and the client is absolutely confidential.
Who would benefit from Coaching?
- Anyone willing to invite new awareness, understanding, and plan for change can benefit.
- Anyone reaching for professional and/or personal goals
- Someone who appreciates a sounding board when making decisions
- Clergy or laity who want to grow in professional and personal development, communication and life skills
- Anyone who could use a cheerleader, accountability partner and unconditional supporter.
