Below are some common reasons why my clients choose to work with me:
- Something urgent, compelling, or exciting is at stake (a challenge, stretch goal or opportunity).
- A gap exists in knowledge, skills, confidence, or resources (possibly new to management or working in unfamiliar territory).
- A desire to accelerate results.
- A lack of clarity with choices to be made.
- Success has started to become problematic.
- Work and life are out of balance, creating unwanted consequences.
- Core strengths need to be identified, along with how best to leverage those strengths.
- I want to re-script the stories I’m telling myself about myself and develop more of a “curious mindset” instead of one that is “fixed.”
According to the International Coaching Federation:
Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching is a client-driven process.
The coach’s responsibility is to:
- Discover, clarify and align with what the client wants to achieve.
- Encourage client self-discovery.
- Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies.
- Hold the client responsible and accountable.
The coaching process helps clients improve their outlook on work and life, while improving their leadership skills and unlocking their potential
