So, What Exactly Is Coaching??

Coaching is a trust filled alliance between a trained Professional Life Coach and a Client who is desiring something more or different in their life.  Commonly, a Client will seek a Coach to help them work on one particular burning issue and along the way, many different areas of the client's life are explored.  The Coach acts as facilitator of sessions, which typically take place over the telephone in regularly scheduled meeting times.  The topics and discussion tend to "free-flow" based on what is happening at that time for the client.  The coach uses a variety of methods to help the client gain awareness and clarity as to the root of their reactions, perspectives and beliefs.  An understanding of the client's individual values assist the Coach in making connections more evident for the client which allows them to see possible solutions or opportunities which likely were not seen in the past.  This awareness naturally allows for forward motion to occur and momentum is gained in the areas where the client may have been stuck.  The relationship is often a remarkable unfolding of layers upon layers of beliefs that have built up over a lifetime, which may not serve the client in the current space of their life.  A new way of being emerges which allows room for further growth, fulfillment and happiness.  Coaching relationships often cover issues relating to career, education, relationships and health.
