Everyone needs a coach at one time or another. Life is complicated and during times of change it can be difficult to make those changes on your own. It can be really helpful to have a trained guide to walk alongside you. Coaching is a future-oriented, goal-focused process for change that draws on the innate strengths of the individual or team in order to move toward the ideal vision for the future.

Whereas counseling or psychotherapy is most often interested in looking back — asking ‘why’ — in order to resolve issues from the past that interfere with present life, coaching begins by looking forward — asking ‘so, now what’ — toward the goals we envision. Thoughtfully and strategically, a coach listens, observes, and collaborates in co-creating the small steps necessary to move toward a desired outcome, offering accountability and encouragement.

Coaching is intended to be an energetic and life-giving process that gains inertia and instills healthy patterns for continued growth. Coaching can accelerate the change process and bring more joy and fulfillment along the path to successful outcomes.
