Coaching focuses on personal growth and forward progress. Coaching is very different from therapy. Therapy has a backwards focus as you process past pain and trauma and work toward healing. Therapy should always be done with a licensed therapist as they are the expert. Coaching is not mentorship. In a mentoring relationship the mentor is the expert who downloads their knowledge and skills to the mentee. Coaching is not consulting. A consultant is an expert who is brought into a business or organization to help solve a problem or create growth. 

 

In a coaching relationship you are the expert on your life. The coach is the expert on the process. A good coach holds space with you while asking powerful open-ended questions to challenge your thinking so you can overcome stuck patterns and see ways to move forward that may have been obscured. The coach is an ally who:

• Listens deeply and helps you get clarity.

• Provides accountability for the action you decide to take.

• Champions your progress.

• Works with you to streamline your life and bring focus.
