HOW COACHING DIFFERS FROM THERAPY

Therapy focuses on analysis and interpretation; in Coaching, the emphasis is on experiencing, and the shifting of perspective and position.  Rather than focusing on what has happened, the emphasis is on what is possible. Coaching is solution-based and solves problems of the present -- it enriches your life!  Coaching uses powerful techniques (tools, support, and structure) to clarify your goals, values, purpose, and vision and to keep you focused on your priorities.  It will create prosperity, balance, and fulfillment in your life.  Through coaching, you can achieve your goals and dreams by breaking them down into smaller more manageable pieces. Each week, you move closer to what you really want. Talking with a friend may be helpful, but coaching offers undistracted listening that is non-judgmental, trusting, honest, and exceptionally objective. The questions posed challenge the spoken words and delve into the real meaning of what is being heard. Your Coach is your resource person with a large tool kit to assist you in developing and pursuing your vision so that you achieve positive, permanent results.
