ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching is a client-driven process. The coach’s responsibility is to:

• Discover, clarify and align with what the client wants to achieve

• Encourage client self-discovery

• Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies

• Hold the client responsible and accountable

The coaching process helps clients improve their outlook on work and life, while improving their leadership skills and unlocking their potential.

The coach supports you by providing encouragement, and a safe space for exploration.

They help you clarify your goals, identify obstacles, and develop strategies to overcome them.

They also challenge you to think differently, explore new perspectives, and take action towards your aspirations.

Additionally, they provide accountability to help you stay on track and achieve your objectives.

Overall, the coach's role is to empower you to unlock your potential and achieve your desired outcomes.

We do this always without judgment, giving advice, and ensuring total confidentiality.

A coaching process consists of several sessions. It starts with a goal and ends when you achieve it (or you create the steps to reach it.)

During the sessions, we focus on the actions that will lead you to meet your goal. We always work from the present towards the future.

*Our main tools are structured conversations and your responses to powerful questions.

I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of people, from all sorts of backgrounds, ages, and jobs.

Whether someone is similar to me or not doesn't really matter. What truly counts is being effective at coaching!

If during our conversations I don't fully grasp something or overlook an important detail, I'll make sure to ask for clarification, and if I don’t, you can always let me know.

Asking questions, even if they're just for clarification, can spark new ideas and help you create action plans to move you closer to your goals.

Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change.

Coaching is not therapy: Therapy deals with healing pain, dysfunction and conflict within an individual or in relationships. The focus is often on resolving difficulties arising from the past that hamper an individual’s emotional functioning in the present, improving overall psychological functioning, and dealing with the present in more emotionally healthy ways. Coaching, on the other hand, supports personal and professional growth based on self-initiated change in pursuit of specific actionable outcomes. Coaching is future-focused, and the coaching relationship emphasizes action, accountability and follow-through.

Coaching is not mentoring: A mentor is an expert who provides wisdom and guidance based on his or her own experience. Mentoring may include advising, counseling and coaching. The coaching process does not include advising or counseling; it focuses instead on individuals or groups working towards achieving their own objectives.

Coaching is not consulting: Individuals or organizations retain consultants for their expertise. While consulting approaches vary widely, the assumption is that the consultant will diagnose problems and prescribe and, sometimes, implement solutions. With coaching, the assumption is that individuals or teams are capable of generating their own solutions, with the coach supplying supportive, discovery-based approaches and frameworks.
