Posted on 27 March 2008 by Johnetta Miner
The professional organization, ICF, ( International Coach Federation) defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives. Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs”.
Our choice of lifestyle affects our health. Therefore, life coaching is wellness oriented.
The coaching process is a partnership which focuses on the client. Maybe you are having difficult in moving forward in your life, you feel ‘stuck’ in one of life’s transitional periods. for example,transitioning from a long term employment to traditional retirement. A coach will start where you are in the present moment , help define where you desire to go on the journey of your life and help you decide on the steps to take in order to attain your desires.
