Getting Ready for Coaching
What is Coaching?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as:
How is coaching different to other approaches? (e.g. therapy, consulting or mentoring) Coaching is a non-clinical approach to helping you do your best and freshest thinking. It isn’t about giving advice or providing answers. When we create and own our own solutions, not only are we more likely to see them through, but they will deliver us better, longer lasting results. “Partnering with clients in a confidential, thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.”
What can I expect?
Every coaching assignment is unique in that the number of sessions and the focus of the sessions will vary depending on what it is you’ve told us you want to achieve.
However, there are a number of principles that we believe are critical to a successful coaching assignment:
Clear and achievable goals
Collaboration
Mutual respect
Accountability
Trust
Feedback
Highest standards of coaching professionalism and ethics
Openness
