Why should I consider a professional coach?
A professional coach is trained to help guide their clients through times of transition, while keeping the client's primary goals at the forefront of the process. Coaches and clients engage in a thought provoking process that encourages the client to create the life they want based on their vision of their future. Times to consider hiring a professional coach:
During/post time of transition (new marriage/divorce, blending families, employment shifts, etc.)
When faced with an compelling goal or opportunity
When accountability is needed to promote, accelerate, and/or support individual goals
When clarity is needed to address obstacles and limiting mindsets, while identifying the individual's core strengths
When support for new possibilities is desired, in order to promote work and life balance
What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
While therapy seeks deep understanding for the causes of behavior and discomfort, coaching encourages individuals to use what they already know about themselves to create a plan for their future.
Mental health therapists use their expertise to diagnose and treat mental health conditions. Coaching clients are the experts of their own stories, with coaches using their knowledge and tools to help clients improve performance and structure lives that allow them to maximize their own potential and pursue their own dreams.
