Coaching is a professional service that provide individuals with the ability to shape their life and professional experiences in order to achieve success and reach their full potential. Coaching helps people to live authentic lives congruent with their core values. How is coaching different from other services?  Consultants give advice while coaches give problem-solving tools and strategies to help individuals discover their own solutions.  Motivators do encourage individuals to accomplish their goals by showing them the rewards while coaches make sure that you are motivated from within, that you set your own goals and live your core values.  Trainers instruct and show individuals how to do certain things while coaches work with you to identify what you need to do to accomplish mastery to be successful.  Therapist focus on the past while coaches use the past to inform the present but work on the future, helping you to identify ways to accomplish your goals and achieve your dreams.  Mentors share their experiences in order to show you how to live while coaches know that everyone and every experience is different and that the solution to your issue can only be found within yourself.  Sport Coaches focus on strategies to beat the opponents while life coaches make sure that you add value to those around you and live out your core values. Coaching helps clients discover for themselves, through relationship with the coach what God has placed within them. “The purposes of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.” (Prov 20:5) A life coach “draws out” the purposes of a client’s heart – their gifts, their call, their passion, their path. Coaching is about drawing from the inside-out rather than advising from the outside-in. Coaching is about questioning, digging, probing, prodding, and then reflecting, clarifying, reframing, and challenging. This process undertaken with care and empathy helps client identify their inner resources and determine the best course of action for the challenges they face. Disclaimer Life Coaching is a process is not for everybody, and it is not a substitute for therapy. This is a coaching and self-education process designed for healthy people who are seeking meaningful change in their lives. Coaching is a personal development and education program that will empower you with tools, skills, and insight to independently access your inner authority. Coaching is a structured and goal oriented process, not a therapeutic one. If you are wrestling with addiction, have a history of mental illness, or are dealing with depression, anxiety, or suicidal feelings, please consult a registered therapist in your area.
