What is coaching?
Coaching is about what we do with our lives. About supporting and helping others to create and live the life they really want. About helping people to realise that they have the potential to be where they want to be and empowering them to believe that they can do something about it.
Coaching is a craft that effectively uncovers why people, teams and organisations are not achieving what they want and what it takes to get them there. It is a methodology that can help people break negative patterns of thought and behaviour, overcome obstacles and challenges, and replace them with new, motivating alternatives. In short, coaching can move people and can be used for anything and anywhere - for the benefit of anyone. Coaching can help people create the life they dream of.
Coaching is:
To listen actively
To motivate increased performance in a variety of contexts: sport, business management, employee development, counselling, personal development, teaching, relationship work, etc.
To focus on the present and the future rather than the past
To motivate and support - a coach never defines a goal, the client does
To get the client to act or accept rather than do nothing
An equal and motivating conversation aimed at focusing thoughts, feelings and behaviour towards achieving a specific goal
Based on empathy, mutual trust and communication
Based on the idea that the coach asks the questions and the client takes action
Is Coaching something for you?
We all have an unfulfilled goal, dream, hope or wish that we are looking for the courage, belief and strength to realise.
We may all need help or a fresh perspective on how to overcome an obstacle, conquer our fears or avoid sabotaging ourselves before we get started. Because we all have more potential to take our destiny into our own hands than we are used to believing. Because sometimes we need to find the courage to go for what we are truly passionate about. And because sometimes we are struck by crisis, stress, illness or are in a difficult place in life and need new angles, new insights and new tools
Becoming a coach can be a career in itself. It can be a valuable skill in your workplace. And it can make a world of difference in your personal life, your career and your relationships.
Coaching is a way to create new opportunities and a method to help people realise their dreams. As a coach, you will be trained to make a positive difference for yourself and others.
