Coaching
What coaching is
Coaching is focused on you — your goals, your learning, your growth. Changing old habits and thought patterns are difficult. A coach will help you recognize these patterns and support you as you change and grow.
Coaching is about learning rather than teaching. A coach employs active listening and open-ended questions while offering encouragement and support with a little bit of challenge. This process assists you in discovering insights and taking the next steps that are right for you.
It is action-oriented, with you in the lead. At the end of each coaching session, you determine what action steps you will take before the next session. You may be surprised by how quickly you progress toward your goals!
What coaching isn’t
Coaching is not therapy. Although it involves similar communication techniques as therapy, coaching is forward-looking and action-oriented. Therapy is necessary to bring healing, while coaching is beneficial for those who are clear enough of any psychological and emotional roadblocks to move forward with their life goals.
It is also not mentoring or training. Mentors are experts in a particular field who seek to pass on their expertise, providing knowledge, advice, and correction. Trainers set the agenda, promoting change in the participant. Coaching uses principles of self-discovery to motivate change from within you.
Last, contrary to following orders of a tough sports coach, coaching is not authoritarian. In coaching, you are in control, holding the responsibility to decide and act. A coach sees your potential and will help motivate, encourage, and support you to move beyond what you might think you can do.
Where to focus
Coaching can benefit anyone who is open to positive, sustainable change. Whether it’s improving your relationships, career, or day-to-day life, a coach can help you move from where you are to where you want to be.
