Life Coaching

What is Life Coaching?

Life Coaching is an ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.

In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are today and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be tomorrow.

We are all caught in a paradoxical tension between being ourselves and being in relationship with others. On one hand, we are all unique individuals, with a strong need and desire to express our unique selves fully in our life and work. On the other hand, we are embedded in a web of relationships with other individuals, a member of multiple systems, and irretrievably part of humanity.

Our creativity in resolving this paradox between self-expression and embedded-ness determines, to a significant extent, our level of success and fulfillment. The key to resolving this paradox lies in using our unique selves to make a contribution to others. We see coaching as a profession that distinguished itself by helping people discover how to bring their choices and actions more in line with their unique “best self”, and to connect more creatively with the deep human desire to make a contribution to the betterment of humanity.
