What is coaching?
Coaching is a thought-provoking and creative partnership that helps individuals unlock their personal and professional potential. Unlike consulting or therapy, coaching focuses on the present and future, guiding clients to find their own solutions rather than being told what to do.
The ICF Coaching Approach
As an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-aligned coach, I follow a structured framework based on core competencies:
• Ethical Practice - Upholding integrity, confidentiality, and respect in every interaction.
• Coaching Mindset - Creating a space of trust, curiosity, and open dialogue.
• Active Listening - Understanding beyond words to uncover insights.
• Evoking Awareness - Asking powerful questions to challenge perspectives and spark growth.
• Co-Creation - Building a collaborative relationship where the client drives the journey.
• Facilitating Growth - Turning awareness into action and lasting transformation.
How Coaching Differs from Other Support Professions
• Mentoring - A mentor shares expertise, while a coach helps you find your own path.
• Therapy - A therapist focuses on past traumas; coaching focuses on future possibilities.
• Consulting - A consultant provides solutions; a coach helps you discover your own.
