What is coaching?

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Coaching is focusing on the present to help you achieve the future you want.
Unlike therapy or counselling, coaching doesn’t look at the past to change the present.
Unlike consulting or mentoring, coaching is not about sharing advice and experiences.
Instead, coaching focuses on future possibilities, helping you define and achieve your goals.

A coach helps you find the answers you don’t know you have.
A coach helps you gain awareness of where you currently are and helps you define options to take a new direction.
