What is Coaching?
Coaching is a partnership that helps clients achieve fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching and with the assistance of your coach, clients learn more about themselves and their goals, improve their performance and can enhance the quality of their daily life.
Why Coaching?
People come to coaching for many different reasons - to discuss their career path or other professional choices, their relationship or other life issues. However it is always to make some sort of change. Please note coaching is not therapy, which tends to focus on the past to help improve the future.
Whatever the requirement for coaching, you will receive the benefits of someone focusing wholly on you and the opportunity to think really clearly about what you want to achieve and where you want to go, with no interruptions or judgment.
What happens in a Coaching Session?
The coaching process is designed to make the client more focused and aware of their choices, and through this helps them to achieve their goals more quickly. The process concentrates on where clients are today, what they want to achieve and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be tomorrow. The coaching process depends on the person being coached taking responsibility for action, and making their own decisions, not on the coach providing solutions.
In each coaching session, the client chooses the focus of the conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions, with the aim of clarifying the client’s positions and options to move them into making action.
It is the coach’s responsibility to help the client discover and clarify what they want to achieve, encourage the client to discover more about themselves, work with the client to achieve client-centred solutions and to hold the client responsible and accountable.
The coaching relationship is built on trust and respect. It is non-judgmental, impartial and totally confidential. |
