How is coaching different from consulting, therapy or friendship?
Ö
Coaching is a form of
consulting, but the coach stays with the client to help implement new
skills, changes and goals to make sure they really happen.
Ö
Coaching is not
therapy. We don’t work on “issues” or get into the past or deal much
with understanding human behavior. We leave that up to the client while
we help them move forward and set personal and professional goals that
will give them the life they really want.
Ö
Coaching includes
several principles from sports coaching, such as teamwork, going for the
goal, and being your best. But unlike sports coaching, most
professional coaching is not competitive or win/lose based, it’s
win/win.
Ö
A best friend is
wonderful, but is your best friend a professional whom you will trust to
advise you on the most important aspects of your life and/or business?
What Is the Basic Philosophy of Coaching?
Simply put, that
we humans are great, that we’re all discovering what we really want, and
that we can get what we want faster and easier by having a coach who’s
been there and who can help us.
Our job is to
help people see their magnificence and break through self-made
limitations so they can attract success in all areas of their lives. |
