What is Coaching?

The Coaches Training Institute defines coaching as "a powerful alliance designed to forward and enhance the lifelong process of human learning, effectiveness and fulfillment." This resonates with us because the relationship between coach and client is centered around the client's agenda, goals, and aspirations, and supports learning, development of awareness, and focuses on the client's growth.

Who needs a coach?

Short answer, everyone! Long answer, it depends.

Every individual person can benefit from coaching. If you are a person who is feeling generally stuck, looking for clarity on how to live a more joyful and successful life, can't seem to figure out what is holding you back from achieving that success, or not able to see a path forward, then coaching is for you.

If you're not sure if coaching is the right fit, reach out to us and we'll happily schedule a complimentary discovery call!

How long is the typical coaching relationship?

A typical coaching session is 45 minutes to an hour per week. Generally, a coaching relationship lasts a minimum of three months to notice meaningful growth and progress. Many clients choose to continue coaching beyond three months.

How is coaching different than therapy, consulting, advising, etc?

Coaching and therapy have some similarities: support, acknowledgment, bringing awareness around patterns that may not be serving you well in your life.

How coaching differs from therapy: coaching gets to the heart of what is preventing a client from achieving a specific goal. Therapy would explore the barrier on an emotional and psychological level, and focus on developing coping mechanisms to address this block. Coaching, however, does not offer advice or strategies on how to address these barriers. Rather, coaching supports the client in discovering answers and strategies within themselves.

How coaching differs from consulting/advising: coaches do not provide advice, rather, coaches utilize powerful questions, guiding clients to answers they already have. Coaches empower clients to thoughtfully consider all the possibilities and outcomes when approaching life's challenges.
