A question I'm often asked. Coaching is a sense of moving ideas and reaching passionate dreams one never thought could be reached. Coaching helps put those dreams and aspirations into a working reality. Coaching is not like counseling in that counseling labels pathology, provides treatment and focuses on healing.
Coaching focuses on strengths and aspirations and provides a silent partner who sticks with you until you accomplish what you want. There is no diagnosis of pathology, no treatment, no illness to heal, and no insurance involvement.
Someone has said that therapy is for those who are sick and want to get better, while coaching is for those who are well and want to get better. And that is the difference that makes the difference!
Coaches provide techniques, enthusiasm, direction and the fundamental tools to help a client start with today and move toward his or her future. We strive to use similar and other tools to help clients play the game of life and all that is in it.
The coaching concept identifies the condition for bringing real objectivity to a situation. Any performance can be enhanced by coaching, by identifying the process of keeping clients focused on goals. There are various types of coaching that we specializes in: Career, Personal/Life, Spiritually, Relationships, Transition, Retirement, Men’s and Women’s Issues and Creativity. What we have found is that people get stuck in a rut and cannot progress with their future endeavors i.e. careers, jobs, relationships, etc. unless they take care of unresolved issues in their lives.
We strive to purpose in people the need to represent themselves with physical and verbal professionalism when interacting with employers, supervisors, and coworkers, networking partners as well as other important individuals in their lives. We utilize visual and written aids, one-on-one consulting, seminars, workshops, various assessments, and shopping trips when necessary for selecting appropriate business attire, hairstyles etc.
Our ultimate mission is to help people feel confident empowered and important, reach a sense of quality of life and when appropriate to ultimately keep jobs and get ahead in life! Our intention is to change lives by teaching people the necessary skills needed to represent themselves with self-assurance in a professional manner when interacting with others. |
