What is Coaching?

‘What are the questions you need to be asked to improve clarity and shift you to a growth mindset?

What is Coaching?

The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Elizabeth’s Coaching Approach

Transitioning a career change, starting a new business, or taking on a new leadership role can all be challenging experiences until we check in to see what could be possible if you could achieve your goals. That turnaround is possible with a professional coach beside you.

My client-centred coaching approach uncovers patterns and situations that inform you about your strengths, inner resources and mindset and includes the following methodologies:

  • Positive Psychology
  • Neuroscience Research-Based Coaching
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Tools
  • Evidence-based Mindfulness practices
  • ICF Core Competencies
  • Client’s Insights and Intuition

The experience relaxes you and helps you progress towards an outcome that works for you. As your coach, I don’t advise you but follow the coaching process to highlight your resourcefulness and inherent strengths within you.

The coaching conversation creates a non-judgmental and confidential space that supports your self-inquiry, which becomes a powerful tool for change.

Your focus, committed participation and follow-up work are all necessary to make the coaching process work and your intended outcome possible.

Are you ready to invest in the coaching process and find your solutions?

Coaching Outcome Arrow

Coaching VS other Professions

Find out how coaching is different in outcome from other services like counselling, consulting or mentoring from the comparison table below.

Coaching vs. Counselling

Coaching is an empowering process focusing on the positive and future solutions based on your inner resourcefulness and what is within your control. Coaching does not replace the services provided by a regulated counselor or therapist.

Counseling is about revisiting past traumas that were out of your control, under the supervision of a registered therapist, and receiving treatment for healing.

Coaching vs. Consulting

Coaching is a personal exploration of your strengths, resources, and vision while your coach guides you to search for solutions and grow from the result.

Consulting is external advice or a ‘how-to-manual’ by an expert, who will show you how to achieve what you want while following the instructions.

Coaching vs. Mentoring

Coaching follows a time-specific, structured formula for change where you are accountable for your outcome in a professional partnership with your coach.

Mentoring is a more relaxed approach towards sharing experience and knowledge by a mentor with a mentee over an undetermined time frame in a friendly and informal context.
