::What Is Coaching?
The core belief that drives coaching is that you, the client, have all the answers and resources you need to make the changes you desire. The coach is skilled in helping you clarify your intentions, uncover your inner resources, and magnify your motivation to achieve your heart's desires.
Coaching focuses on teaching and empowering you to make significant changes. Coaching helps you move beyond the "resolution" stage to making those resolutions a reality.
Coaching helps you:
- Know and understand yourself
- Learn and apply steps of behavior change
- Clarify what you want to achieve and how to get there
- Create the optimal emotional environment to achieve your goals
Tools used in my coaching process include:
Assessments
· Help client know herself and clarify her intentions
· Streamline the coaching process by illuminating the most effective approaches for each client
· Includes Introductory Assessment and Values Exercise
· May also include
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ®
Enneagram
Stress Assessment
VIA Signature Strengths
Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory® (EQ-i)
Wellness assessment

HeartMath® approach to stress and emotion management, as well as attitudinal change
Creation of a unique, powerful vision statement
Setting of measurable, timely, incremental goals to build momentum
Use of Positive Psychology practices that increase optimism
Accountability and continual laser focus on your specific goals
******************************
Coaching is not the same as therapy. Coaching helps you look forward and make measured changes. Therapy helps you process and cope with the pain of the past. Coaching is not a substitute for therapy.
