What Is Coaching?

Most might answer by naming a famous athletic coach like John Wooden or Vince Lombardi.  The International Coach Federation’s definition is: "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 professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses, or organizations.”

 

What can I expect from you as my coach?

1. Be a partner with you for a season to help you develop as a person and a leader.
2. Provide safety and support in an environment in which you can relax and explore.
3. Respect the confidentiality of the agreements we make.
4. Expand your view of what is possible and promote discovery of new insights.
5. Give you input, straight feedback, and operate as a sounding board.
6. Listen carefully to what you say and ask powerful questions that increase awareness.
7. Be an on-going resource for you in accomplishing your goals.
8. Provide consulting or mentoring only after we have exhausted the coaching process.

 

What are sessions like?

Before each session, you have the choice to fill out a Prep Form so you can think through what you want to discuss.  Sessions last around 45-50 minutes and you set the agenda for what you want to discuss while I manage the process.  I will actively listen, ask powerful questions, give direct communication, create awareness, help you design plans and goals, manage process and accountability, and conclude each session with action steps which you commit to carrying out.
