Coaching is a powerful relationship between client and coach that helps you focus and realize your visions and goals. It is a thought provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize their personal and professional potential. Working with a professional coach you will acquire the tools and support to remove the obstacles to change. You will explore fresh ways of approaching every given situation, as you release old habits and conditioned responses that have not worked for you previously. Instead of trying to learn new skills through training, coaching sessions are an opportunity to discover what is already within you.
No. Coaching is not therapy, nor is it a process to heal emotional trauma. Coaching is focused on the present rather than the past, it will help people achieve goals by tapping into their own internal energy and resources. Coaches will refer clients to other professionals for issues that are better suited to a therapeutic relationship.
Typically, coaching sessions are conducted online using Skype, Zoom or similar media. Each session is normally 45 minutes in duration, with the terms, frequency and number of sessions being agreed during the first complimentary session. In all cases, a contract is signed between the coach and client before the coaching begins which outlines the terms and conditions.
In the case that the coaching is being sponsored by an employer, a separate contract outlining the confidential nature of the sessions and responsibilities of each party is also signed between the coach and the sponsor.As coaching is generally conducted online, the pandemic has not affected the ability to conduct sessions. However, it is important for those working from home to be able to allocate quiet, personal time and to be able to focus on the coaching sessions.
During each session the client can expect the coach to be fully engaged in an impactful thought-provoking dialogue. As well as establishing goals, challenging open-ended questioning techniques will be employed to assist the client to explore limiting beliefs and blocks to progression and growth. At all times, the client controls the agenda and will drive the pace of the coaching.
Results vary from person to person. Some people can experience shifts in a few sessions, others may need support that continues for several months.
