What is Coaching?

"Imagine a relationship where the total focus is on you, on what you want in your life, and on what will help you achieve it. The coaching relationship is like that. It's unique. There is no other relationship in our lives that consistently offers this extraordinary level of support and encouragement. That's especially true in the style of coaching we describe as co-active coaching. This relationship is like having your own personal navigator for the journey of your life: someone who will help you find your way and stay on course.

"Coaching is a powerful relationship for people making important changes in their lives.

"Imagine a relationship with someone who is totally curious about your dreams and aspirations, what makes you tick, what you value, what you are most passionate about in your life-a person who will help you clarify your goals and provide the tools for action and learning that lead to the results you want.

"Imagine a relationship in your life with a person who is sometimes even more committed to what you want in your life than you are. Imagine what it would be like if someone knew your values and life purpose and was holding you true to them.

"Imagine a relationship with someone who will absolutely tell you the truth-about where you are strong, for example, and where you sell yourself short-someone who know you can handle it and knows that's what you want. Someone who sees how big you can be and constantly holds that big image for you--even when you can't hold it for yourself.

"Imagine someone who listens to you without judgment and allows you to show emotion-in fact, accepts you without analyzing you.

"Imagine a relationship where you finally break free of those self-limiting conversations you've been having over the years-where now the voices of defeat and sabotage are simply noticed for what they are and the powerful part of you is always encouraged."
