Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

• What is coaching?

The ICF defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential." Through our one-on-one conversations, you will develop an increased awareness of your true core values and goals, and then break through what is holding you back from achieving those goals.

The key catalyst is connecting your inner passion and felt purpose with clearly defined goals. Developing workable and attainable action plans will help you achieve sustainable results. The ultimate goal of the coaching process is a shift in energy which allows you to replicate the success of the initial coaching scenario with your future challenges — and the process works!

• I successfully completed law school and am an accomplished attorney. How can coaching help me?

Coaching provides a confidential, supportive, non-judgmental arena in which to focus on your challenges and break through the barriers preventing you from reaching your full potential in all areas of your life. The coaching relationship is a partnership in which you will be challenged to break any inner resistance against fully realizing positive change. Fears (whether of failure or of success) will be challenged and dispelled, and coaching will guide you towards achieving your goals and raising your satisfaction levels both at work and home.

• Is Coaching helpful only in the work environment?

Coaching can help in all areas of your life, whether at the office or at home. Essentially, coaching is about clarifying and improving relationships, beginning with your relationship with yourself. You address practical, concrete issues, such as finances and interpersonal situations. Attaining balance in one area of your life gives you the momentum to build better relationships with professional colleagues, family members and friends.

• Is Coaching a life-long commitment?

Typically a coaching engagement for a specific challenge lasts three to six months. The skills acquired and results attained will be sustainable over time. After the initial engagement you may want a refresher, check-in or mini engagement, which can be arranged and tailored to meet your particular, defined goals.
