Why
Coaching Works Coaching is a unique partnership. It engages people to recognize
and exceed their best selves. It allows them the vision to create
their lives in the way they most desire. Many people are beginning
to realize the benefits of working with a coach, which can help
people to:
Coaching is not a "quick fix" or a "flavor of the month" type of investment, it is an ongoing relationship that can produce significant results reflective of the commitment of the client. Coaching provides ongoing learning in the context of the client's life which can create sustainable change. Clients are given homework and assignments that will serve their goals and challenge them to apply their learning on a regular, real time basis. Clients are responsible for their own learning and success which calls them forth to self lead and create the results they want. Coaching provides the follow up, accountability and safe space to truly create forward momentum and learning in the client's life. "Our deepest want in life is someone who will make us do what we can do.” Ralph Waldo Emerson What is coaching? Coaching is not therapy or consulting. Coaching

For information on the Professional
History of Coaching. For information on the ICF
Code of Ethics. The International
Coaching Federation defines coaching as "an ongoing
partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their
personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching,
clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and
enhance their quality of life." Coaching focuses on getting clients from where they are today to
where they want to be tomorrow. The alliance between client
and coach is a safe space, completely confidential and allows people
to be 100% themselves. A Professional Co-Active Coach’s primary
goal is to benefit the client. During the coaching session, a coach is present, fully focused on
the client’s agenda. A coach does not sit in judgment or
criticize, but rather supports each client by asking questions
to help them understand challenges and key values. During each session, a coach focuses on a person’s agenda by listening, contributing observations and questions. The coach is passionately motivated to help clients move in the right direction for their best interests. Personal growth and fulfillment are the reasons for this relationship. Approaching change with dignity assures that each
client can achieve his or her goals. The coach
sees each client as creative, resourceful and whole and believes
each person is capable of achieving their best lives and answering
difficult questions. Active Choices, Inc. Coaching & Training 630.443.5137 info@activechoicesnow.com ©2004-2007, Active Choices, Inc. |
