The Difference Between Coaching and Counseling

Think about a rear-view mirror: in counseling you look back, and in coaching we are looking forward.

In all of our coaching we are partnering with you to help, encourage and support you to achieve your goals.

Coaching is guiding you in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your personal and professional potential.

We believe that you are the expert in your life and work! We know that you are creative, resourceful and whole. Our responsibility to you is:

• Discover, clarify, and align with what you want to achieve
• Encourage your self-discovery
• Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
• Hold you responsible and accountable

What to Expect on Your Coaching Journey

We take a client-centered approach to coaching. You may be at a place in your life where you need extra motivation and structure, or you may just want guidance and direction on the best starting point.

The process includes identifying your areas of concern, assisting with goal setting, and providing encouragement and motivation along the way. Together we will create long-lasting lifestyle changes. Our system is progressive, structured and systematic.

Our role as a coach is to educate, motivate, provide accountability, reinforce positive behavioral change, and provide caution when you are getting off track.

We will provide frequent reminders of milestone achievements along with objective assessments of progress so that you are motivated to succeed. The ultimate goal is to provide lasting behaviors that will establish healthy patterns in your life. Sustainable change takes time. Let us walk with you on this journey.

What Your Initial Coaching Session Will Look Like

The goal of the initial session is for you and your coach to get to know each other and to identify initial goals. We will have different kinds of assessments based on the kind of coaching. For example, personal training may include body composition and fitness assessments depending on your goals.

You will also complete intake forms and questionnaires and have plenty of time to ask questions and share past experiences.
