What Is Coaching?
Professional Coaching is a
professional partnership between a qualified coach
and an individual that supports the achievement of
extraordinary results, based on goals set by the
individual. Through the process of coaching,
individuals focus on the skills and actions needed
to successfully produce their personally relevant
results.
The individual
chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach
listens and contributes observations and questions
as well as concepts and principles which can assist
in generating possibilities and identifying actions.
Through the coaching process the clarity that is
needed to support the most effective actions is
achieved.
Coaching accelerates
the individual's progress by providing greater focus
and awareness of possibilities leading to more
effective choices. Coaching concentrates on where
individuals are now and what they are willing to do
to get where they want to be in the future. Coaches
recognize that results are a matter of the
individual's intentions, choices and actions,
supported by the coach's efforts and application of
coaching skills, approaches and methods.
“Coaching is a
conversation, a dialogue, whereby the coach and
the individual interact in a dynamic exchange to
achieve goals, enhance performance and move the
individual forward to greater success.”
Zeus and
Skiffington

powerful and effective in any or all areas of your
life when you have a trained, experienced coach who
brings fresh perspective, stimulus, ideas, and
structures for accountability.
Why do people decide to
hire a personal/professional coach?
They want more. They
want to grow. They want it easier.
What happens when you hire
a coach?
The moment you hire a
professional or personal coach you begin to take
yourself more seriously. Your actions immediately
become more effective and focused. You stop putting
up with nagging things that have been dragging you
down. You begin to create momentum. You set goals
well beyond those you would have set. Results come
more easily. And you receive and relish the
acknowledgements you earn and deserve.
Are you
coachable?
"A good
coach will make his players see what they can be
rather than what they are."
Ara Parasheghian (American
college football coach)
