Coaching is a co-creative relationship. There is no authority figure - no dependence. Both the coach and the client use their combined knowledge, resources, skills and intuition to problem solve on the client's behalf.

 

Coaching is a support system that provides the client with:

​

• An accountability partner

• Safe opportunities for meaningful dialogue

• New perspectives and expanded options

• Inspiration and motivation

• Potential solutions

• Next steps

​

Coaching can promote profound shifts in thinking which creates forward movement towards goals of all kinds. Further, the continuity of regular sessions builds an integral foundation of trust.

 

When two or more people focus positively on a vision, the result is synergy - dynamic forward moving energy. This is more possible through coaching than it is in many other professional relationships because the coach holds no agenda other than the client's.
