CPR - What is Coaching?

Let us start by saying what coaching is not; it's not training, it's not telling people what to do, it's not counselling.

So what is it?
The experienced coach allows you to see the woods you are standing in the middle of, rather than just the trees surrounding you. This ability to help people see the bigger picture is achieved through the coach's powerful questioning and skilful listening expertise.

Combining these exceptional abilities allows a powerful coaching relationship to grow, from which you can become who you want to be rather than just living with who you are.

Allowing yourself the time out (so many people don't make that time) to think for yourself through potent questioning rather than being given unsolicited advice on what to do; helps to build real confidence, clear thought processes, and erases any insecurities.

Skilled coaches can help you think differently about what you do and how you do it. In a safe space where there is no sense of failure, a coach provides a clear sounding board where you can be really heard, and begin to clearly define your goals and then start finding your own solutions - which in turn just feels so good!

By promoting great qualities in the individual /organisation coaching helps you achieve greater things in the world while also being aware of the impact you have on the people around you. Letting you see what impact you are having for yourself, helps change your own and others environments for the better. In other words, you can walk your talk without stepping on other people.

Whatever your circumstances in life, Coaching facilitates individuals and organisations to realise bigger & better results, while fulfilling your own personal development and growth in the process. As you grow and develop the person within, the world around you naturally changes for the better.

A good coach will always appropriately challenge your thought processes and keep you accountable, so that you see quicker results.
