What is coaching?

Simply put, Life Coaching is professionally assisted self-change.

The definition of Co-Active Coaching from the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) is:

“Co-Active Coaching is a unique, proactive alliance in which coach and client work together as equals to meet the needs of the client. Fervent curiosity is more important for the coach than specialized knowledge. Skills and techniques are important; authenticity and connection are more important.
CTI holds that all people are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole, and capable of finding their own answers to whatever challenges they face. The job of the Co-Active Coach is to ask questions, listen, and empower rather than instruct and advise. We also believe that all parts of people's lives - their careers, relationships, recreation, personal growth, and finances for example - are interrelated and may be addressed on the way to the client's goal. We coach the whole person to extraordinary results.”

This may all sound great, but how does it work? Well, the best way to know how it works is to experience it. As such, I invite you to contact me for a complimentary, no-obligation consultation where you can learn more about coaching, more about me, and more about yourself.

Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.
