Coaching is a new profession.
Our coaching will:

| Reframe beliefs and create a point of focus for you to reflect upon. |
How is coaching different from consulting, therapy, sports coaching and having a supportive friend?
Coaching is similar to consulting. However, consulting provides temporary or intermittent solutions. Coaching is a consistent, on going relationship where the coach stays with the client to help implement new skills, changes and goals. Another distinction is that consulting often involves dispensing advice, telling people what they should do. Coaching is different in that it focuses on assisting you to discover a solution on your own.
Coaching is not therapy. Where therapy brings understanding and awareness of the past to a client; coaching provides the support and strategy to make changes based on the awareness that you hold. Coaching is movement oriented and action based.
Coaching includes several principles from sports coaching like teamwork, meeting and exceeding potential in order to be your best. Unlike sports coaching, the results are not win or lose based. As coaches we focus on strengthening your skills from the first session forward. Any amount of coaching will benefit you from this perspective.
A supportive friend is wonderful to have in life, yet does not hold the objectivity and distance that a coach does. A coach is a professional who is trusted to work with you on the most important aspects of your life and/or business. A coach offers a different perspective of the truth because of the emotional distance the professional relationship offers.

Coaches are hired by people because:
| They want more. |
| They want to grow and be more productive. |
| They want to discover innovative ways of do things more effortlessly. |
Coaches assist any client in attaining all three, quickly.
Does the coach work on personal goals or business/professional goals?
Both! The 'common denominator' between you and work; you and play; you and relationships; you and productivity IS THE YOU. Coaching inevitably works with all aspects of personal, business and professional goals relating to who you are specifically.
What is the focus of our coaching?
We focus where you need us the most. Part of the discussions often include:
| Where are you now in relation to where you want to be? |
| What are your goals? Are they based in your values? |
| In order to get what you want from any situation, what are the areas of strength and what are the areas for improvement and focus? |
By creating the focus of coaching around what you want to achieve; we assist you to maintain focus on that which will make you most successful.
Why does coaching work?
Coaching works for several reasons:
| Synergy between the coach and client creates momentum. |
| Better defined goals support you to move toward those goals faster and effortlessly. |
| YOu develop new skills, and these skills translate into more success and a balanced life. |
Why is coaching becoming so popular?
Coaching is becoming popular for several reasons:
Can I hire you just for a short-term project?
Yes. Some clients hire us to help them accomplish specific goals or projects. Usually, however, the client keeps working with us after that because of the synergy created and the support the relationship provides in setting and meeting goals.
How long must I commit if I start working with a coach?
We ask for a minimum one month commitment, however you will benefit more by undertaking a program of coaching that is three months or longer. There is always the option to discontinue coaching immediately if the partnership is not working for you
