Coaching is a journey.
A collaborative journey where you
work with a coach to find the tools, knowledge, and opportunities
you need to take responsibility for your life, embrace change, and
become more effective.
Coaching is a process.
A process that allows you to look
at your life and ask yourself if you are on track to create the
results you want in your life.

What happens in the
coaching process?
Each coaching client is different,
and each client is coached based on his or her expressed needs, goals,
and particular pace and style of learning. The coaching process,
however, typically has three steps that cover a minimum of four
months. These three steps are:
Clarity
- During this step the client and coach develop a mutual understanding
of the coaching structure, identify how the client would define
success in the coaching work and agree on initial goals.
Strategy
- During this step the coach and client work collaboratively to create
a plan that includes measurable goals, skill development, and
effective strategies for change.
Partnering for Results - This step
generally consists of weekly coaching sessions that focus on insight,
learning, clarification and celebrating success. The coach supports
the client in learning to observe and evaluate their own behavior and
the impact of their actions, within a framework of an open and honest
partnership. |
