Coaching is a professional relationship that enables a client to move forward in his or her life, work or business with greater clarity, focus, momentum, success and happiness. Through partnering with the coach in a thought-provoking and creative process that helps a client to build awareness around oneself and ones’ thoughts and beliefs – which are responsible for the reality we experience – a coach inspires a client to create his or her own answers to maximize their personal and professional potential and implement change toward personal and professional growth.

Coaching is a process. It is a relationship that focuses on coach and coachee as a team. It is a “we are on the same level and together we will figure it out” – approach and not a “I know better than you and tell you what to do” – approach. The coach-coachee relationship functions as a partnership, where planning, decision-making, and evaluation are shared responsibilities

All the answers are inside the client and a coach enables each client to find his or her “right” answers. Only a client truly knows what is best for him or herself.

A coach does not “tell” a client what to do. The client knows already everything they need to know and have the answer inside of them. We as coaches do not need to have all the answers, instead we help to access the knowledge within the client. We help them to come up with their own answers and helping them figure out what they need instead of telling them what to do. Coaching facilitate change and helps a client to be more productive, happier and more effective. It helps others to manage, change and deal with recurring patterns that are holding one back from living ones’ best lives and thus, improve performance and unlock potential.

Coaching is a distinct service and differs greatly from therapy, consulting, mentoring or training. Individuals who engage in a coaching relationship can expect to experience fresh perspectives on personal challenges and opportunities, enhanced thinking and decision making skills, enhanced interpersonal effectiveness, and increased confidence in carrying out their chosen work and life roles.

Through the process and practices a coach brings to the table a client will experience:

• Awareness: a new way of seeing the situation; a shift in perception
• Clarity: focused, specific insights, actions and goals
• Motivation: organically created energy that results from the coaching session, come almost entirely from within the client (energy and excitement for newfound awareness “a-ha”), and which enables the client to reach his or her self-created action for the upcoming agreed-upon timeframe
• Confidence: power of self-realizing the situation and having the power within and creativity to design one’s own solution. This applies to businesses too. Power of a business executive or team self-realizing the situation and having the power and creativity to design a solution

It is beneficial for everyone because we all have struggles, we all have limiting believes and problems to deal with on a daily basis. And very little of us are aware or even know how to deal with just half of them. Having someone helping you to figure out what is holding you back and developing a strategy to overcome whatever that is can be the solution you’ve been looking for so long.

Coaching is not a therapy or counselling. Coaching focuses on the present and the future of the client’s life or business, not the past.

A coach is not a therapist, a psychologist, or counsellor delving into the past, diagnosing and/or applying learned techniques for a particular mental or behavioural need.

A coach focuses on the “who” of a person, not the “what”; the client discovers what he or she needs to do versus the coach giving expert advice like a consultant might.

(money is also just a form of energy) Investing in yourself can be scary, I know this first-hand (I invested in my dreams ever since I started chasing them. I invested a 6-figure amount into my business and my personal growth over the course of the last 6 years, and I don’t plan to stop any time soon as I know the immense benefits it’s giving me). But it truly makes all the difference between a good and an extraordinary life. I always try to see it from that perspective: If you want to get in shape you need to invest in not only time to train and eat well but also into a gym membership, personal trainer or nutritionist. Well if you want to grow personally or spiritually and manifest your DreamLife, you not only have to put in the work, you can also invest in someone to teach you what you need to know and help you get there faster. If you feel called to invest into me as your personal mentor and thus, into your DreamLife, be sure of the fact that I treat your goals like my own and make them (and you) number 1 on my priority list.
Change always starts when things get moving. Movement requires some form of action. Drastic movement requires massive action. Action you can take right here, right now. Change starts with you.
