Differences between coaching and psychotherapy:

• Coaches focus on the future. Therapists focus on the past.

• Coaches center their work around the belief that clients are healthy. Therapists utilize a framework that is based on pathology and illness.

• Coaches work with the conscious mind. Therapists work with the unconscious mind.

• Coaches’ work is often time-limited with specific desired behavioral outcomes. Therapists’ work is open-ended with “understanding” as the primary objective.

• Coaches’ check on you in between sessions and hold you accountable to the work each week.

Similarities between coaching and psychotherapy:

• Both are concerned with making concrete changes in your emotional state and life.

• Both work to understand the self-limiting beliefs or behavior caused by thoughts and emotions that you may or may not be aware of.

• Both practices help you grow, change and master your emotions.

100%. You have the capability to create positive change in your life. It’s a matter of leveraging your strengths, using the right tools and having someone to hold you accountable that will get you there. We’ve witnessed numerous clients undergo significant transformation by getting clear on what they want, putting a support system in place to get there and deciding to take action.

We use a wide variety of coaching styles based upon what will resonate most with and help the client create change: Our most used styles are:

TRANSFORMATION FOCUSED -

While we typically gauge individual change by observable behaviors, the most significant transformations occur at a deeper, less visible level. By fostering self-awareness, adjusting how we perceive things, and embracing new perspectives, we can unlock substantial personal and professional growth.

Systemic change facilitates flexible adaptation rather than simply following set procedures. This, in turn, enables us to skillfully navigate the intricate dynamics of our relationships, careers, and overall life experiences.

POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY -

The science of happiness and human flourishing.

Positive psychological coaching employs a comprehensive approach toward development, which aids clients to identify and actively deploy their character strengths as well as acknowledges the multiple contexts which influences their lives. Research showed that this novel approach to people development leads to various positive consequences for both the individual (e.g., improved performance, self-efficacy, life satisfaction, self-confidence etc.) and the organization (e.g., talent retention, employee engagement, customer satisfaction, financial growth etc.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR COACHING -

CBC (Cognitive Behavioral Coaching) doesn't aim to provide direct solutions to individuals' issues. Instead, it employs a collaborative approach known as guided discovery to assist them in arriving at their own insights and resolutions. Guided discovery draws inspiration from the Socratic method, wherein the coach poses a sequence of questions to help individuals uncover relevant information and enhance their decision-making skills through insightful reflection.

DIRECT -

Open and vital discussions are faced directly and without hesitation when they are deemed necessary.

HOLISTIC -

In today's world, there's a prevailing emphasis on specialization, reductionism, and isolation. Despite this trend, our coaching philosophy takes a holistic, integrative, and systemic approach.

We recognize that changes made in one aspect of life frequently reverberate and affect others. By delving into the root causes of a specific challenge and addressing them effectively, we can trigger a cascade of positive effects, influencing multiple areas of your life.

This approach leads to genuine, enduring transformation rather than merely masking issues with temporary solutions.

RESULTS FOCUSED -

While our coaches universally acknowledge the importance of the journey toward achieving results, they remain flexible in their choice of tools, techniques, and approaches.

This flexibility enables us to swiftly pivot to alternative strategies or methods if the current approach proves ineffective. Our core coaching style is characterized by adaptability, continuous refinement, and a relentless focus on achieving outcomes.

We frequently employ practical, precisely targeted strategies and tools to facilitate more efficient progress toward accomplishing goals.

At minimum, our coaching commitment is 2-months long. This is when most of our clients start to see results. We also offer 6-12 month coaching commitments for those who want or need it. Some of our clients have been with us for over 10 years.

Before delving into our coaching methodology, it's important to discuss how our coaches engage with you, the client. We firmly hold the belief that you are the authority on your own life. We view you as complete and not in need of fixing. We see you as inherently resourceful and possessing untapped potential beyond your current perception. We have full confidence in your ability to enact meaningful change.

Our coaching approach is centered around an organic, iterative process that addresses your needs holistically. Through meaningful conversations, we aim to stimulate fresh perspectives, foster transformative insights, and encourage behavioral shifts. This process is geared towards enhancing performance, clarifying direction, achieving personal and professional objectives, and ultimately enriching your overall quality of life.

Your weekly time commitment will vary based on your circumstances and goals. Most clients spend between 1-4 hours a week with us.

Results will vary based on your specific goals. Typical outcomes that we see with our clients include:

• Increased mental clarity and a clear action plan forward

• Increased confidence

• Deeper connection and understanding of themselves and the people around them

• Reduced anxiety and stress

• A personalized roadmap for how to minimize distractions

• Performance growth system that fits their unique needs
