FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is coaching?

​

Coaching is an intentional conversation about a topic you would like to explore, a problem you would like to address, a goal you would like to reach, or a dream you would like to make reality. A coach asks powerful questions, and may sometimes offer resources, to help you gain clarity, identify barriers, create a plan, and move forward. Coaching is focused on where you are now and where you would like to go. Lessons learned in the past may serve as helpful resources for the future, but coaching conversations do not generally “dig in” to the past.
