Coaching is a process based on a collaborative partnership between Coach and Client, which aims at supporting the Client’s growth and personal development.

In a coaching relationship with 1:1 clients, there is typically a structured process to help clients increase awareness around who they are and what they want, identifying clear goals, moving into intentional actions to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

Some important tools that the Coach may use include active listening, asking powerful questions, direct feedback, support and accountability to help the client stay on track.

The coaching relationship usually lasts for a set period of time, often between 3 and 12 months.

Here are some things coaching can help you with:

• Gain clarity around who you are and what you want

• Improved communication skills

• Increased motivation and a sense of fulfillment

• Increased self-esteem and self-confidence

• Increased productivity

• Improved work-life balance

• Expanded professional career opportunities

• Increased well-being

Co-Active coaching is not about “fixing” or “problem-solving”. It focuses on self-discovery, developing awareness, and finding one’s own answers.

Co-Active Coaching focuses the whole person and one of the key cornerstones is the belief that we all are naturally creative, resourceful and whole and that everything we need is waiting within us to be unlocked and leveled up.

The Co-Active Model is based on the three core principles of:

Fulfillment – about being wholly alive, fully expressing who we are and doing what is right for us, in every situation

Balance – a structured process of going from being stuck to getting into conscious, resonant action

Process – about being fully present into this moment and to the present experience, and to embrace all aspects of one’s life- the ups and downs, the movement and stuckness- all of it!

Co-Active is a model with a solid foundation in science. Harvard McLean Hospital named Co-Active “the industry gold standard” in its study about the connection between neuroscience and coaching.

You may expect me, as your Coach, to:

• Support you on this journey towards living your vision and goals

• Support you in making conscious choices

• Ask you to step beyond your present limitations as you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be

• Be an objective listener

• Create a safe space for you to explore

• Tell the truth - I will give you direct feedback and invite you to look at yourself, your life and your choices at times from a different perspective.

Here is what Coaching will require from you:

• Be committed to living an extraordinary life

• Be responsible for the results of your coaching process

• Be committed to the coaching sessions and taking action each week

• See every interaction as an opportunity to integrate and synthesize the Coaching Principles with your own thinking, speaking and actions

• Tell the truth; be honest with yourself and me even when it feels uncomfortable. Because that’s where the growth occurs.
