Coaching is an incredibly special journey. It is a co-creative relationship, whereby the client and coach identify, collaborate and work on achieving desired personal and or professional goals. The ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential, which is particularly important in today’s uncertain and complex environment.
The process of coaching and engaging with a coach will show you that you possess the abilities and skills to be an expert in your own life and work. In addition it is to hold the belief that every client is creative, resourceful and whole.
This process has proven time and time again that coaching in this arena helps clients dramatically improve their outlook personally, professionally, work life balance, wellness and empowerment whilst impacting their personal development dramatically and unlocking their potential enabling them to take their lives to the next level. This is achieved through various techniques that are mastered by the coach. This will usually involve building a strong rapport, deep listening, skilled questioning, constructive honest feedback and the use of intuition with their client.
Coaching is often grouped together with therapy and counselling; however it is quite different.
Coaching focuses largely on the present and future of what the client desires in their life followed by planning and strategizing how it will be achieved.
Coaching involves a peaceful and present state of mind which in turn allows you to focus on yourself, your goals, your dreams, your desires, your aspirations and the outcome of what you want for your life. Coaching therefore creates an approach to thinking and speaking which is of forward movement, enthusiasm, positivity and strength, as opposed to an approach of healing or resolving of past issues. A coach acts as your non-judgmental well-wisher, confidante, cheer leader and supporter guiding you through this journey.
At Coach Life Play Life, you are coached through this game of life whilst playing and enjoying the journey along the way.
