What is Life Coaching

Coaching is a process that allows the client to reinvent himself and develop and improve virtually any aspect of his life. It is a collaborative synergy between the coach and the coachee that moves the person forward to accomplish his dreams and ambitions quicker and with more ease.

Coaching used to be reserved as a powerful business tool to assist already high-achieving entrepreneurs and CEO’s, but today, ordinary men and woman also utilize the process of Coaching to achieve tremendous personal growth and experience career success.

“Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. [It] is an ongoing relationship which focuses on clients taking action toward the realization of their visions, goals or desires.

Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the client's level of awareness and responsibility and provides the client with structure, support and feedback. The coaching process helps clients both define and achieve professional and personal goals faster and with more ease than would be possible otherwise.”

~ International Coaching Federation ~

Through establishing the client’s dreams, goals, ambitions and/or visions, the coaching process transforms and empowers a person to move from where they are now to where they want to be. The transformation which is brought about by expanded thinking, an awareness and understanding of emotions and a change in maladaptive behaviour, empowers the person to generate their own solutions and move towards achieving their desired goal(s).

This empowering process allows the client to become a skillful master of his own life through remaining focused on his vision, tapping into his inner wisdom and directing action in service of his self-identified agenda.

Coaching is based on the following core principles :

Self directed learning
Coaching helps people think better. The person being coached is the expert in their work - the coach uses a questioning approach to help the person find their own answers.

Solutions focus
Coaching is not about what's wrong and trying to fix it. Coaching focuses firmly on solutions - where are you now, where do you want to be and how can you get there.

Positive feedback
Criticism shrinks our confidence and stops us taking action. Encouragement and belief does the opposite. Coaching is a way of delivering encouragement and belief in people that really moves them forward.

Systematic approach to delivering behavioural change
Real change takes time, commitment and focus. Coaching is effective because it provides a step by step and systematic approach that slowly produces real change.

Stretch
People perform at their best when they are appropriately challenged. Too much stretch causes stress, too little produces boredom.

In coaching, we focus on empowering the individual to develop their own answers, maintain a firm focus on solutions and then challenge them to be the best they can be.

“Coaching is not just about achieving your goals, its about what you become in order to achieve it!”
