What is Coaching?
Coaching is a partnership and place of no judgement. A space where coach and client become thinking partners. Coaching can help you get clear on what you want, help you identify what’s getting in your way, and support you in creating a roadmap to where you want to go.
Even though coaches and therapists use similar techniques, a coach is better suited to help you achieve your vision for the future, using deep and meaningful questions to help you move toward what you most want from your life.
Put more simply, coaching is a thinking partnership and tool to both support and challenge you in getting from where you are now to where you want to be. And you may not be sure of where that is, but you know it’s calling to you. We’ll explore that together from the place of knowing that YOU are the expert. YOU know your life and have those answers somewhere within you.
The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.
How do Coaching, Therapy and Consulting differ?
Clients can find coaching therapeutic. Emotions are welcome and often appear in coaching, however coaching is not therapy. Coaching begins from this moment in time, with the primary focus on where you are now, where you want to be and what makes that important to YOU.
With therapy, the focus is often on resolving difficulties arising from the past and healing those.
Consulting assumes I am the expert. Whereas coaching knows that YOU are the expert in your life; seeking a thinking partner to ask the deep and challenging questions to open the door to what you most want.
The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) offers a gold standard of coach training, and the Co-Active model behind it is remarkably congruent with a vast body of research in positive psychology and coaching. It’s exciting to see how the entire field can be uplifted by connecting science and theory with the spirit and practice of coaching. In the future, results will continue to show how science can be mapped to CTI’s Co-Active model and their four cornerstones of coaching. — Dr Carol Kauffman, Founder and Director of the Institute of Coaching and Faculty of Harvard Medical School
