What is Coaching?

Coaching is a partnership where the person being coached and the coach discover together, in a safe, supportive way, how to create a joyful, satisfying life based on the person's strengths, talents, and gifts.

When we see an athlete perform so gracefully or an actor embrace a character so exquisitely, we're seeing the value of coaching. We've just not thought about having a coach for our personal and professional lives before. If a single performance or sports goal is worth using a coach to achieve, then how much more important are our lives, goals, and dreams? Working with a coach keeps you focused on what's important for you, and that added focus almost always results in reaching more of your goals and finding greater joy in your life.

While it's certainly true that you don't have to have a coach, consider for a moment what you might do if you did have a coach, someone who

· Checks with you weekly about your goals and progress
· Listens for your possibilities
· Helps you identify actions to overcome blocks and barriers
· Encourages you to take steady steps forward
· Holds the vision of what you and your life can be
· Celebrates your successes along the way

Could you use someone like that in your life? If you were to begin a coaching partnership now, what two areas would you take to your coach to begin working on together?
