Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change.

The coach’s role is to ask powerful questions, act as a sounding board, provide objective assessment and observations, listen fully and actively, challenge your blind spots, and foster shifts in thinking that reveal fresh perspectives. Coaching is utilized to assist with employee development, achieving strategic goals and transforming workplaces. 

Coaching helps leaders, emerging leaders and people in career transitions identify and achieve their goals. Through coaching collaboration, clients identify their objectives, which range from professional skill development, preparing for a new role, exploring a new career, personal growth, and finding balance in their lives. Additional key components of coaching are planning for action to achieve goals, active experimentation with techniques, approaches, and mindsets, and methods to sustain and continue change and growth.

Clients share with me the positive personal and professional results they experience from coaching including personal commitment, focus, and energy to realize their goals.

The role of the coaching client:

• Create the coaching focus based on personally meaningful goals 

• Assume full responsibility for decisions and actions

• Use the coaching process to promote possibility thinking and fresh perspectives 

• Engage big-picture thinking and problem-solving skills

• Take the tools, concepts, models and principles and engage in effective forward action
