What is Coaching?

A coaching relationship is conscious. The client and coach design their relationship and commit to the client's path towards awareness and achieving the life that he or she desires at home and at work.

• The coach works as an equal partner. A good coach listens deeply to the client's thinking and is able to pick out buttons, blind spots and levers to reflect back for consideration. This means that limiting beliefs are highlighted, assumptions questioned and paradigms shifted.
• It is collaborative and based on trust and relationship - a coach can only challenge in a way that the challenge will land when the relationship is strong. This can bring about immense shifts in ways of being and doing for the client.
• Coaching is a non-judgemental and confidential space in which the coach supports the client towards his or her highest outcome. A good coach can keep the client accountable - otherwise no real shifts will occur.
