A professional coach is a Personal Change Expert.
Coaches help people grow faster, perform at a higher level, understand themselves more deeply, and live with a greater purpose and fulfillment.
In the same way that a personal trainer helps a pro athlete maximize performance, a personal coach can help you get the most out of life.
IS A COACH A THERAPIST?
No. Therapists look at issues from the past and delve into those issues for resolution.
Coaches look at where a person is now and focus on moving them forward.
Coaching is not about dispensing advice or fixing you. Instead a coach helps you find your motivation, clarify your objectives and stay on track to meet them.
This approach has been receiving so much positive recognition for its results that lots of other professionals, including therapists, managers, etc, are training in coaching skills to bring added value to their current positions.
