What is coaching?
Professional
coaching is "an ongoing professional relationship that helps people
produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, relationships,
businesses, or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients
deepen their learning, improve their performance and enhance their quality
of life" (The International Coaches Federation).
Roots of Life coaching and the Human Potential Movement (HPM)
Life coaching
is derived from the paradigm of possibility, and rooted in the Human Potential
Movement. This is a wellness model with a focus on living a fulfilled
life, also known as a self-actualized life. This not about "fixing"
the client because the client isn't broken. Clients are typically individuals
who lead successful lives but who cannot achieve the results they desire
in some areas of their life. It is in these areas that coaches assist
their clients.
The Coaches
Training Institute (CTI) model
As a Co-Active
Certified Professional Coach (CCPC) through CTI, the coaching relationship
resembles a peer relationship-the coach and client have equal, though
different, roles. They are co-active in this relationship, so they are
co-creators, collaborators in the coaching process.
Four Cornerstones
that form the foundation of co-active coaching:
-
The client
is naturally creative, resourceful and whole and as such clients know
their answers however it is the coach's responsibility to be curious
and to ask powerful questions so that that client's answer or solution
is found.
-
The agenda
for each coaching sessions are always directed by the client and held
firmly by the coach.
-
The coach
follows the client's lead during the coaching sessions.
- Coaching
can address any area of the client's and the client is empowered to
choose.
International Coaches Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics
The ICF Code of Ethics, a set of ethical standards, that I as an ICF
member pledge to honour can be found on the ICF's website at www.coachfederation.org

The Benefits
My coaching
service is a client-centred, customized one-on-one process where you will
move towards fulfilling your professional and personal goals. You will
increase your life satisfaction by deepening your learning about who you
are being, your true core values, acknowledging what you desire and by
replacing self-supporting beliefs and creating new habits so you can release
self-imposed unconscious limiting beliefs, perspectives and habits. It
is my best intention and commitment to create a coaching space that honours
confidentiality, trust, truthfulness, openness, compassion, integrity

Proven Results
I firmly
believe that my clients' full potential can be realized and that coaching
is extremely effective as I have personally been the client with two different
coaches I've been blessed to work with. I witness my clients consistently
make small- to-life overhauling changes such as career advancement or
changes, entering or leaving a marriage, healthy lifestyle and weight
loss, preparing to meet the future spouse to create the family you've
always dreamed of or completing the degree so you can start your new career.
Ultimately the coaching process is about getting you to take charge of
your life by being proactive and being the person you want to be. You
create the life you want to live by making lasting changes. Fundamentally,
experiencing life coaching is about stepping into possibility.
