FAQ
What is coaching?
The International Coach Federation defines coaching as an ongoing
professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary
results in their lives.
Coaching honors the client as the expert in his/her life and work
and believes that every client is creative, resourceful, and whole.
Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning,
improve performance, produce fulfilling results, and enhance their
quality of life.
Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their
approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions
and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally
creative and resourceful. The coach's job is to provide support
to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client
already has.
Coaching is a co-created relationship enabling you to maximize personal
performance and results. You will engage in an honest, trusting,
non-judgmental choice oriented relationship that is 100% confidential.
Your coach, sitting outside the daily madness of life, will
-Discover, clarify, and align with what you want to achieve
-Be a sounding board for deeper self discovery
-Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
-Hold you accountable to your commitments
-Support you in maintaining perspective
-Provide tools and constructive feedback.
-Respectfully challenge and encourage you to stretch grow
You will be empowered and unstoppable!
In simple English, coaching is safe place to check in, be heard,
be complete, reflect, get centered, rejuvenate, grow and flourish.
You will have an initial consultation with a coach by phone and
begin figuring out what you would like to get out of coaching. If
both of you agree to work together in a powerful coaching relationship,
you choose the focus of conversation, while your coach listens and
contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates
clarity and will move you into action. Coaching accelerates your
progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choices leading
to effective action. Coaching concentrates on where you are now
and what you are willing to do to get where you want to be.
Typically, coaching sessions for 50 minutes each week, are scheduled
in advance and held via the telephone. You can be at home, school
or even at the office. Just find a quiet space where you can have
some privacy and call your coach at the scheduled time. You will
be amazed at how effective and powerful these phone sessions are.
Realistically to achieve lasting growth, most coaches recommend
a minimum 3 month commitment. In fact, much of the action/growth/results
happen between the coaching calls which are supplemented by email,
fax and 5 min “power calls” as needed. We acknowledge
that results are in direct correlation with the client’s true
desires, choices and actions, in conjunction with the coach's efforts
and application of coaching skills.
If you are located in the vicinity of Brooklyn NY and would like
to have some of your sessions in person, you can discuss it with
your coach and arrange for a mutually convenient time.
Will my coach keep the details of our sessions confidential?
Absolutely! Your coach understands that trust is a cornerstone of
an effective coaching relationship and your conversations remain
100% confidential unless there is a risk of physical harm to self
or others. If you are still a minor, your coach will broker an agreement
with you and your parents and create boundaries around what will
and will not be shared.
Coaching is not psychotherapy.
Is coaching a replacement for therapy? No. If there are diagnosed
mental health issues, coaching will not replace the required psychotherapy
services. In some situations, coaching can be included as part of
the recovery team in support of the psychotherapy. Coaching is generally
appropriate for people who are functioning well and wanting to enhance
their life skills.
