FAQs

What is coaching?

Coaching is a collaborative partnership designed to help you unlock your full personal and professional potential. As defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), coaching is a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your potential.

At its core, coaching is about you. It’s a dynamic process where the coach honors you as the expert in your own life and work, and recognizes that you are inherently creative, resourceful, and whole.

Coaching is:

Asking the meaningful questions we rarely consider
Leading with curiosity and open-mindedness
Creating a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration
Listening deeply and actively

Coaching is NOT:

Therapy, consulting, mentoring, or training

Coaching is about:

Partnering to achieve your goals
Building self-reliance and belief in your abilities
Nurturing your strengths and encouraging growth
Recognizing and leveraging your potential
Empowering you to take resourceful action
Focusing on the present and looking forward to the future
Allowing you to lead the way
Co-creating a path that’s both collaborative and supportive
Shaping clear, achievable goals and changing behaviors that hold you back

Coaching is your journey to discover what’s possible, with the help of a trusted partner who believes in your potential.

How does coaching differ from therapy, consulting, mentoring, and training?

Coaching is focused on setting goals, creating outcomes, and managing personal change with a future-oriented perspective. Here’s how it differs:

Therapy addresses healing past emotional pain and resolving dysfunction. Coaching, however, supports growth through self-initiated change and focuses on actionable strategies for achieving goals.
Consulting involves providing expert solutions and recommendations. In coaching, the client is seen as the expert, and the coach facilitates the discovery of solutions within the client.
Mentoring involves sharing guidance based on personal experience. Coaching empowers clients to set and reach their own goals without advice or direction from the coach.
Training follows a set curriculum designed by the trainer. Coaching is flexible and tailored to the client’s unique objectives, with a focus on personal development and growth.

Coaching is a collaborative, goal-oriented process that encourages self-reliance and accountability.

What are some reasons to work with a coach?

Individuals or teams might seek coaching for a variety of reasons, including:

Facing an urgent challenge, stretch goal, or exciting opportunity
Experiencing a gap in skills, knowledge, confidence, or resources
Wanting to accelerate results or achieve goals more effectively
Seeking clarity to make important decisions or navigate transitions
Navigating a career change, pursuing a new direction, or starting a new business
Feeling overwhelmed by success or dealing with increased responsibilities
Managing work-life balance and reducing stress or burnout
Enhancing leadership skills, executive presence, or communication abilities
Identifying and leveraging core strengths to reach full potential
Overcoming self-limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome, or internal barriers
Strengthening emotional resilience and handling challenges more effectively
Building better time management and productivity habits
Seeking greater fulfillment, purpose, and alignment in personal or professional life
Developing strategies for major life transitions such as promotions, relocations, or retirement

Coaching can provide the support, perspective, and strategies needed to navigate these situations and unlock new possibilities.

What is expected of a coachee within the coaching partnership?

A successful coaching partnership is built on active engagement and mutual commitment. For the partnership to be effective, the coachee should possess three key elements:

Dissatisfaction with the Current State: A genuine desire to improve or change.
Vision for Change: A clear sense of what success or improvement looks like.
Willingness to Take Action: Commitment to invest time, effort, and energy into the change process.

The coachee is not a passive recipient in this relationship. Their active participation is essential for achieving meaningful results. Here’s what is expected of a coachee in the coaching partnership:

Create a Personalized Coaching Agenda: Set coaching goals that are meaningful and relevant to your personal or professional growth.
Enhance Self-Awareness: Utilize assessments and observations to deepen understanding of yourself and others.
Envision Success: Picture both personal and organizational success to clarify your desired outcomes.
Take Responsibility: Assume full responsibility for your decisions and actions, recognizing that change starts from within.
Embrace Possibility Thinking: Use the coaching process to explore new perspectives and possibilities.
Take Courageous Action: Align actions with your personal goals and aspirations, even when it requires stepping out of your comfort zone.
Engage in Problem-Solving: Think big, approach challenges creatively, and leverage strategic thinking.
Apply Coaching Tools: Integrate the tools, models, and principles provided by the coach into your daily life to move forward effectively.
Focus on Personal Growth: Be willing to tackle difficult questions, confront hard truths, and pursue personal success.
Observe and Listen Actively: Pay attention to your own behavior and the communication styles of others. Listen to your intuition and evaluate how you sound when you speak.
Challenge and Adapt: Be open to questioning and reshaping existing beliefs and behaviors to better serve your goals.
Leverage Strengths: Utilize your strengths and work on overcoming limitations to develop a winning style.
Take Decisive Action: Make bold moves even when they are uncomfortable, striving for extraordinary outcomes.
Show Compassion: Be kind to yourself when learning new behaviors and facing setbacks, and extend the same compassion to others.
Maintain Perspective: Don’t take yourself too seriously. Use humor and a light-hearted approach to navigate challenges.
Stay Composed: Maintain your composure during disappointments or setbacks. Avoid reactive behaviors and focus on moving forward.
Pursue Growth Fearlessly: Have the courage to seek continuous growth and self-improvement, challenging yourself without fear.

By embodying these qualities, a coachee can maximize the benefits of the coaching partnership and achieve transformative results.

How long does a coach work with an individual, and what is the frequency of the sessions?

The duration and frequency of coaching sessions are tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Coaching partnerships typically last anywhere from 3 to 10 months or more, depending on what you want to achieve. Sessions can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly—whatever suits your preferences and availability.

Factors such as the complexity of your goals, preferred pace of progress, and financial considerations can all influence the length and frequency of the coaching engagement.
