Coaching
What is Coaching?
Coaching is a partnership between coach and client, based on trust and commitment, for the purpose of helping clients achieve greater personal and professional success. Coaching is present and future focused and strives to help clients adopt new success strategies to complement those they already have. The work of coaching includes assessing, questioning, listening, suggesting, supporting, and challenging. As your coach I will:
- provide insights, resources, information, and fieldwork
- help you recognize, use and value your strengths
- hold you accountable to follow through on our coaching agreements
- challenge and attempt to replace limiting beliefs or behaviors that arise
- monitor and adjust our coaching progress
What Are the Benefits of Coaching?
The short-term goal of coaching is to help you achieve your goals. The larger purpose of coaching is to help you achieve your potential! My coaching clients commonly report and demonstrate improved work focus, satisfaction and success. The benefit to their organization, whether they are owners or employees, is improved engagement, performance and results.
What can you expect of me?
You can expect me to arrive at our coaching meetings prepared. I am available by telephone or email if questions or special needs arise between our meetings. I will be your advocate, resource, guide, challenger, and supporter, committed to our work and your success.
What will I expect of you?
I expect my clients to make our work a priority, commit to our work together, be open to new ideas, follow through on agreed-upon action steps, make their best effort to keep our appointment schedule and, if at all possible, give me 24 hours’ notice if/when they must reschedule.
