What is Coaching?
Coaching literally means to transport someone from one place to another. A personal coach will simply help a person move forward and create change in the area of their life which they feel stuck and just can’t see a way through for the clouds.
Most recognized forms of coaching come from the sporting world, the figure of a sports coach working alongside top athletes is accepted without question. By applying principles of observation and feedback, sports coaches can make the difference between champion and a competitor.
What is Personal Coaching?
In personal coaching the same principle applies the coach works alongside individuals to help improve their performance and help someone see opportunities for improvement, as well as practical ways forward.
The coach will use basic skills such as listening; questioning and reflecting back to the individual they are working with on the issues they want to change. For example, if you are not happy at work, that’s likely to show up somewhere else. If you are not healthy and full of energy then this may be mirrored in your relationships or social life.
Achieving goals
The coach provides support to the client and will focus solely on an individual’s situation with the attention and commitment to help the client work through to achieve the goals they set for themselves. If you are looking for fulfilment, belief or balance within yourself, whether it is related to life in general, health, personal relationships or other interests then a coach may be what you are looking for.
A coach will listen to individuals who have discovered gaps in their lives that they are finding hard to understand, and may be struggling to fill these gaps to enable themselves to move on. If these gaps are not addressed it may lead to stress related problems of anxiety related illnesses or confidence issues that become harder to resolve. If left these anxieties may result in the need of a GP assessment or even further specialist help perhaps from counselling
Taking charge of your own life
Coaching is more flexible as everyone is unique and individual and they are supported in setting their own goals to fit in with their daily life. Coaching also places real responsibility for learning on the individual to continue after the session.
Life is for living now; it is not about postponing till later and living with regrets. It is never too late to live the life you want.
What coaching is not!
Therapy, Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy.
Coaching is not therapy and should not be viewed as therapy.
It does
not provide a viable alternative to people who may have previously
considered some counselling to resolve a situation.
A way of someone else solving your problems for you.
Coaching is based on the principle that an individual is ultimately responsible for their own lives and the results they’re getting, Coaching will help empower and influence them to be all they can be.
Structured training
This would lead to a fixed agenda of learning “classroom learning.” For example, if you were being trained in a classroom to use a computer, the trainer would often use a structured approach to making sure you understand certain information, within a certain time frame.
