What is Coaching?
Coaching is an interpersonal relationship with a purpose and an agenda. The purpose is to help individuals determine and set realistic goals around areas of their lives that they seek to develop and/or change. The agenda of the coaching relationship is built on individuals growing in self-awareness and understanding that they have agency over their life choices, with an emphasis on personal responsibility and accountability. The work between the coach and the individual is both cooperative and collaborative as they work together to develop the individual’s action steps toward accomplishing their goals.
​
The coach understands that individuals are the experts when it comes to their lives. Coaching is not about offering solutions or fixing problems. It is about empowering individuals to create their own solutions while offering support and encouragement.

Creating a Safe Space
As a coach, I intend to create a safe, open, and confidential space where individuals can vulnerably explore how they want to show up in their lives as their best selves, as well as examine the places where they get stuck, including both internal and external obstacles. This type of relationship requires that I engage in deep listening without judgment.
​
This relationship also requires commitment between me and the individual to engage honestly in the work that is necessary for deep change and forward movement.
