What is a Coach?

A Coach is a Personal Change Expert.  Coaches help people like you grow faster, perform at higher levels, understand
themselves more deeply, and live with greater purpose and fulfillment. In the same
way that a personal trainer helps a pro athlete maximize performance, a personal
coach can help you get the most out of life.

What happens during a coaching appointment?

Coaching appointments begin with a chance for you to report on your progress
and end with a clear set of action steps you choose to take in the week ahead.
But what is that essential spark between you and your coach that makes the
relationship so transformational? Read on to discover four facets in coaching that
lead to a fruitful outcome.

1. Coaching is a Transformational Conversation.
The biggest surprise for first-time clients is realizing that the coach isn’t there to
give advice. Instead, powerful, incisive coaching questions stimulate you to examine
the things in life that matter most from new angles. A coaching conversation can
transform the way you look at life.

2. Coaching is a Transparent Relationship.
A coach is a friend and confidant, your greatest supporter, and someone who
knows you well enough to call out the best in you. A transparent relationship with
your coach frees you to go to places you’ve never gone before.

3. Coaching is a Support System for Change.
With support, encouragement, and accountability from someone who believes in
us, we can do far more than we’d ever accomplish alone. A coach helps you stay on
track, overcome obstacles, and convert your “want-to’s” into concrete steps that are
put into your schedule.

4. Coaching is Continuous Leadership Development.
Coaches don’t give solutions; they help you solve your own problems. Coaching is
helping you learn instead of telling you what to do. By leveraging every situation to
build your capacity as a leader and a person, coaching prepares you to conquer
much bigger challenges in the future.

What can I work on with a Coach?

The answer is, “Just about anything!” Increased performance, discovering your
destiny, getting organized, regular exercise, slowing down, turning a dream into
reality—you only need to answer the question, “What do I want to accomplish?”
Coaching works in just about any area because it is about helping you learn. A coach is
not an expert advising you in a particular field (that’s consulting), or someone more
experienced who’s showing you the ropes (that’s mentoring). Coaches are change
experts who help you find the solution for your unique situation.
So if you want more from life—more growth, greater purpose, maximum
performance—look into what a personal coach has to offer.

“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance."
