Coaching

How Does Coaching Work?

 

A coach partners with you to enhance your process of thinking something through and sorting things out. A coach is highly skillful in keeping the conversation focused on what matters to you and guiding it in a way that brings you new awareness and understanding.

 

We all think in automatic patterns and shortcuts. Our brains do this for efficiency. This works well enough for most things. But when we get stuck or wind up going in circles, we need a different approach.

 

Coaching slows down your thinking and expands it. It unpacks the details, invites you to see what’s at stake, and encourages you to consider what really matters to you. This is why it is effective when you are making decisions, finding solutions, or creating plans

 

Coaching brings you clarity about what you want and connects you with your motivation and capability to make it happen. It invites you to design your desired future, define the path that will get you there, and create a plan to move along that path.

 

What is it Like to be Coached?

 

Coach and client partner to design the relationship so it brings maximum benefit to the client. They regularly evaluate how well coaching is meeting the client’s needs and make adjustments when necessary.

 

The coaching relationship is cocreative. Coach and client work together in complementary roles as thought partners to explore something significant to the client so the client can see what’s at stake and what really matters. Together they make discoveries, generate solutions, and design plans that neither could come up with alone.

 

In the short term, coaching helps you define meaningful goals and achieve them. In the long term, it provides you with tools to leverage your strengths, empowering you to become the best version of yourself.
