Why Coaching Works

Have you ever wondered how and why Coaching partnerships actually make a difference? Can’t people just poll their friends or process life situations on their own? 

Of course they can! One of my core beliefs is that all people are resourceful, curious, and intelligent. 

However, there are often hurdles when people try to “go it alone” or have the opinions of the people around them weighing heavily on them.  These hurdles can lead to questions that create fogginess, worry, and delay such as: 

• Is that the way I “should” decide? 

• What if I disappoint them if I choose differently?

• Everyone seems to think I should choose X but I think my gut is telling me Y. 

A Coaching partnership can cut through those hurdles due to several key components. 

Key components relating to the practical set up of the partnership.

• The Coach is an unbiased party.

• The Coach respects confidentiality and professional ethics.

• The Coach is trained in powerful questioning techniques.

• The Coach has had hundreds if not thousands of conversations that have helped move people forward in their health and wellness. 

Key components relating to what happens within the Coaching sessions.
The client experiences:

1. Increased Self-Awareness
   Awareness is the cornerstone of development. 

2. Aligned Values
   Coaching provides the confidential space to clarify your values and facilitate the alignment of your actions.

3. Supercharged Confidence
   You’re empowered to advocate for your needs and place boundaries where necessary. Confidence begets confidence.

4. Consistent Accountability
   Having dependable sessions on the calendar influences how you operate between our calls. 

5. Strengthened Resilience
   You’re more likely to be flexible and tolerate stressors when you feel well supported. 

6. Regulated Emotions
   Coaching helps improve the ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react rashly.

Quite simply, a Certified Coach helps you evoke awareness which directs your healthy action. Throughout sessions, Coaching guides clients to look at their situation with curiosity, compassion, and courage. Again and again, clients are empowered to take healthy next steps. This often leads to not only more clear decisions and momentum, but that the momentum and actions take shape more quickly. This means you’re enjoying your healthiest self faster and more frequently.

No wonder Coaching has boomed over the last several years. It works.
