Frequently Asked Questions
What is Life Coaching?
Imagine having a conversation with someone who holds a firm believe that YOU are the expert in your own life. We look outside ourselves for expert advice all the time. And that can be very valuable. But there is no expert out there that knows your life and what you need and want better than you do. Imagine talking to someone who doesn’t think that they have all the answers for you, but instead asks you great questions that help you to dive deep and find your own answers, someone who withholds judgement, maintains confidentiality, and is genuinely curious about you.
How is coaching different than therapy?
The simple answer is that while therapy can also include some coaching, generally speaking, therapists focus more on the past and healing past trauma. And a therapists can diagnose and treat mental health concerns.
Whereas a coach does not diagnose anything. A coach focuses on your future, the life you want to build, your goals and how you can reach them. As a certified coach, I am specifically trained to help you to set a goal, create a plan to reach your goal, identify, anticipate, and navigate obstacles along the way, and ultimately reach your goal.
How is Coaching different from talking to a friend?
In a FRIENDLY conversation we usually listen to respond. The conversation is about both people and relatable antidotes as well as unsolicited advice are offered freely. This is the way in which friends and family generally relate to one another.
Were as, in a COACHING conversation I listen to understand. The conversation is all about YOU and I don’t offer any unsolicited advice. Instead, I ask you additional questions in order to help you to dig deep to better understand what you want and need. Then we work together to build a game plan specifically tailored to your needs and designed to get you to your desired goal(s).
is coaching right for you?
Are you ready to stop making excuses and start building the life you really want? Are you ready to get honest with yourself about what is really holding you back? Are you ready to put in the work? If the answer to all of these questions is “YES”, then coaching is right for you!
