I often get asked about what coaching is and how it’s different from mentoring or training. This is how I look at it. Mentoring, training, consulting and advice are all things that put in information and ideas. Coaching in contrast, pulls out the knowledge, skill, thinking, goals and commitment of the person being coached. Coaching can be on a 1:1 basis or in a group.
Coaching with me
The chemistry with your coach has to be right. To help you work out if I could be the right coach for you here’s how I would describe what you can expect from working with me. Just as importantly, I’ve included what you shouldn’t expect from coaching with me.
Why use coaching
People tend to use a coach when they need thinking time and support to work through transition or challenge. Some of the most common situations include career step choices, strategic planning/project thinking and driving business growth.
