What Is Coaching?
Coaching is a professional relationship in which the coach supports the client in creating specific strategies for success. We identify roadblocks and develop plans to overcome them. Coaches do not tell clients what to do. Instead, we support the client in identifying personal motivators and obstacles and we implement strategies designed to help clients achieve their goals. We do this by asking questions, listening and creating achievable action plans.
Coaching vs. Therapy
Coaching focuses on the client's present and future. A coach is NOT a therapist, psychologist, counselor or someone who specializes in mental illness. A coach does not analyze or interpret a client's session. A coach focuses on the 'who in the present' whereas a therapist focuses on the 'why from the past.'
Coaching Categories for Adults
Adulting
Keeping pace with the social hustle, parenting difficult children, overcoming professional complications, navigating family drama, finding time for self-care and managing financial pressures can all feel impossible.
Social & General Anxiety
Adults / parents struggle with the balancing act of life. Generalized anxiety can be crippling. Real time socializing coupled with navigating social media and maintaining an on-screen persona can be tough to manage.
Parenting (Challenging Children)
Parenting in today's society presents a unique challenge. Managing the struggles and unknowns of modern life, the symptoms of learning and behavior idiosyncrasies, and simply tolerating typical teen/adolescent behavior can be daunting.
Family Happiness
Families who attend sessions with our coaches will develop positive communication skills and an increased awareness of self and others. In a safe and non-confrontational environment, we discuss obstacles, destructive patterns and everyday challenges that modern families face.
