Personal Theory and Philosophy of Coaching
The coaching relationship is a confidential, respectful partnership, that creates a safe environment for the client to consider options, take chances, and lay plans. Coaching is focused on six strategic objectives: clarify goals, broaden perspectives, measure achievements, develop strategies, stay accountable, and celebrate successes In coaching, I ask questions, explore the client’s thinking, and create possibilities. As a coach, I am responsible for providing a dialogue to direct all coaching conversations toward helping the client close the distance between his/her present level of results and desired outcomes. The relationship between the coach and the client is sacrosanct and highly confidential – truth, trust, honesty and open-mindedness are paramount to coaching. Effective coaching encourages commitment to an action-oriented, outcomes-based process, achieved through a client’s goal-directed behavior, performed under an umbrella of accountability.
