| Coaching
is often the most powerful relationship experienced
by many coaching clients. Your
coach is usually the only person in your life that
does not have an agenda about what is best for you.
You
are surrounded by family, friends, co-workers who,
with all their best intentions often
"know" what is best for you. Though their
intentions are good they aren't trained in coaching
skills and they are often too closely involved to
set their ideas aside and allow you the opportunity
to discover personally the correct course to follow.
As your coach I accompany you as you create the
vision of your future and make your choices along
the way.

| CONSULTING
- A consultant is hired to solve
a specific problem and is usually expected to have
advice, opinions and solutions that are proposed.
Then
the client is left to implement them. This is very
different than coaching as coaching holds the client
to be naturally creative, whole, resourceful and committed to implementing
their own solutions.
Coaching
empowers the client!
THERAPY
- Coaching does not intend to
work on issues such as addictions, severe
depressions, severe anxieties, phobias, destructive
or abusive patterns or other such conditions.
MENTORING
- In mentoring the mentor is someone who has walked that road
before and therefore has experience and advice on how you should do
what you are trying to achieve.
Alternatively, the coach may or may not have
personal experience in a given situation but it
doesn't matter, as the client is naturally creative,
whole and resourceful and
will know what to do. Mentoring
originates from Greek mythology, in which it is
reported that Odysseus; when setting out for Troy,
entrusted his house and the education of Telemachus
to his friend, Mentor. "Tell him all you
know," Odysseus said, and thus he unwittingly
set some limits to mentoring. The coach will
facilitate the discovery process but won't actually
advise.
