Wellness and Life Coaching...

What is Coaching?

Coaching is an emerging profession that began about 25 years ago, first in executive leadership, followed by life coaching. Coaching for health and wellness started about ten years ago. Coaching has its roots in applied behavioral science and adult development, and more recently has embraced positive psychology.

Behavioral scientists have shown that one-on-one coaching is among the most effective approaches to helping people make and sustain improvements in their lives.

The relationship between a coach and client offers a profound level of support, guidance, and encouragement to making changes, without being judgmental. A coach enables change by focusing on a client's stated needs, values, vision, and goals and helping to bring out his/her personal best.

Coaching Today

Today, new coaching specialties have emerged that address a variety of areas including leadership, work/life balance, relationships, and health, fitness, and wellness.

How Coaching Works

Through thoughtful assessment and inquiry, collaborative problem-solving and goal-setting, and safe, open, and honest dialogue, coaches help their clients become clearer on where they are, where they want to go, and how to get there.

Clients feel accountable to themselves and their coaches. They make and honor their commitments to reaching their goals, accomplishing more than they believed possible when they began.

Coaches provide instruction and mentoring to their clients, and help them set goals, define an action plan, and navigate the path until they reach their goals. Coaches facilitate learning and help clients put the learning into action.

The Difference?

While psychologists and therapists help clients understand how the past is influencing the present, coaches focus on the present and help the client move towards the future. Coaches do not make diagnoses and may recommend that clients seek a psychologist or therapist for treatment, if appropriate.

What Clients Think

Clients think that having a coach can help them move to a new place in their lives, and help them make changes happen. Having a coach is particularly powerful when a client has decided to fully commit to making significant changes in one or more areas of his/her life. Clients know that coaches help them reach goals they can't get to alone.
