What is Coaching?
While counseling seeks to look back and understand why you do the things you do and consulting tends to be a relationship of giving advice, coaching is a supportive relationship where together we figure out who you are, what you want from life and how you can get there.
Similar to hiring a personal trainer at the gym, it’s not that we can’t work out on our own, but having someone who shares the responsibility of making sure that we’re not simply putting in the time but that the time at the gym is as effective and goal-oriented as possible that matters. What a trainer does for the body (helps lose weight, builds up endurance, increases self-esteem, strengthens muscles, etc.) we love to do for the soul (restoring dreams, creating personal congruency, mentoring through a transition, strengthening relationships, giving space for evaluating life, sifting through priorities, etc.)
The “value” words our clients use often are: encouragement, support, sounding board, clarifying, inspiration, hope, excitement, adventure, transformation. The bottom line is, we’re after action and change and a specific result that makes a positive difference in your life! The last thing we want is for you to spend money and not feel like your investment paid back huge dividends. We’re all about helping you maximize your life in ways that YOU visualize and dream! The personal benefits to you are:
- Higher personal satisfaction and fulfillment from living the life you really want and overcoming obstacles in the process
- Finding more balance in your life
- The joy that comes from living with deeper meaning and purpose
- Living powerfully through greater intentionality and focus that produce healthy relationships
- Higher sense of accomplishment as you push through challenges and achieve transformational results
The reality probably is that if you had already accomplished on your own what you really wanted in your life, you wouldn’t be reading this right now. We all need people to come along side of us and support us in our desires to become more than what we are. So there’s great power in journeying together.
