How coaching
works
"Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship
that helps people produce extraordinary results ... Through the process
of coaching, clients identify strengths, prioritize goals,
discuss and overcome challenging obstacles, deepen their learning,
improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life...
(FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COACH FEDERATION WEB SITE: www.coachfederation.org )
“The Coaching Process—Coaching typically begins
with a personal interview (either face-to-face or by teleconference
call) to assess the individual’s current opportunities
and challenges, define the scope of the relationship, identify
priorities for action, and establish specific desired outcomes...

“What has caused the tremendous growth in the coaching industry?”
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COACH FEDERATION WEB SITE – www.coachfederation.org.
"... Coaching accelerates the client's progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice...
”Coaching has grown significantly for many reasons. Generally the world has changed a lot, and coaching is a useful tool to deal with many of those changes. For example, coaching is a great tool for today's challenging job market. There is more job transition, more self-employment and small business.
“In addition, individuals who have experienced the excellent results of coaching are talking to more people about coaching. In short, coaching helps people focus on what matters most to them in life: business and personal. People today are more open to the idea of being in charge of their own lives. Coaching helps people do just that; so the industry continues to grow.”
