What is coaching?
Professional coaching is an interactive process that helps individuals and organizations improve their performances and achieve extraordinary results. As a result of professional coaching, clients set better goals, take more action, make better decisions, and more fully use their natural strengths.
Different types of coaching
Professional coaches work with clients in all areas including business, career, finances, health, and relationships. Some coaches provide specialty services, such as coaching in writing, or coaching you through the process of chossing a nursing homre for elderly parents.
Difference between therapy and coaching
Counseling and therapy focus on resolving past issues that affect how you function today. Coaching focuses on moving forward from today into the future. While past experiences can have a tremendous effect on your current well-being, they are not the focus of coaching. Instead, in coaching you focus on the actions you can take to reach your current and future goals.
Your coach may recommend counseling or therapy if they see an area or issue that seems to be preventing you from moving forward. While some coaches are licensed counselors or therapists, not all are, so it would not be appropriate for them to explore those areas with you.
