Frequently Asked Questions

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) definition of Coaching as: "Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching is an ongoing relationship which focuses on clients taking action toward the realisation of their visions, goals or desires. Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the client's level of awareness and responsibility and provides the client with structure, support and feedback. The coaching process helps clients both define and achieve professional and personal goals faster and with more ease than would be possible otherwise".

Consulting is about giving advice and suggesting solutions. However, coaches do not give advice. If they did, they would be limiting their clients' options, and potentially preventing them from seeing other opportunities. What a coach can do is provide models, questions and ideas as food for thought. Counseling is reactive and problem focused. Coaching is proactive and solution focused. Counseling is about the past, coaching is about where you are now and your future (goal-based). Counseling/therapy moves a person from dysfunctional to functional. Coaching moves someone from functional to exceptional.
