What is Coaching?

Coaching Defined

Coaching is defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

Why Should I Partner With A Coach?

According to the ICF, if you want to take advantage of an opportunity or challenge, feel “stuck” on the path to achieving your goals, or simply believe there’s something more to discover in your personal or professional life, partnering with a professional coach could benefit you. Coaching clients who responded to the 2017 ICF Global Consumer Awareness Study reported positive coaching impacts including: 

• • Improved communication skills 

  • Increased self-esteem/self-confidence 

  • Increased productivity 

  • Optimized individual/team work performance 

  • Improved work/life balance 

  • Increased well-being 

  • Improved business management strategies 

  • Expanded professional career opportunities 

  • Accelerated on-boarding into a new professional role
