What is Coaching?
Professional coaches offer an ongoing partnership designed to help you produce meaningful results in your personal and professional life. Working with a coach you are able to identify your dreams and make them a reality.
The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
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 and
-
Hold the client responsible and accountable
​
Coaching is not mentoring, consulting, or counseling, rather it is holding the space for people to be able to listen to their inner dialogue and their inner wisdom. A good coach can offer a confidential sounding board and safe outlet to vent.
Finding the right coach is about finding someone with quality training, proper certification, and the experience necessary to assist you.
How does "Freedom to Soar" Coaching Work?
Coaching is based on a confidential, one-on-one relationship. Due to the unique nature of each client’s needs, each coaching proposal is customized. The length of the engagement varies with the goals and intentions of the client.
It begins with a Discovery Session during which we jointly design the coaching relationship, and review your values, goals, and life vision in order to define priorities of action and desired outcomes.
Subsequent sessions are generally conducted virtually and range in duration between 30 and 60 minutes. Sessions are usually held either bi-weekly or monthly, with email and phone support. The client may be asked to complete actions between sessions to further the prioritized goals.
