Q. What is personal coaching and what is its purpose?
A. Coaching:
- Is a thought provoking, creative partnership

It's a process of:
- Critical reflection
- Investigation of possible courses of action

Q. How does personal coaching differ from therapy?
A. Professional coaches are private consultants who
- work to help you define and develop your personal strengths
- create a plan for living that answers to your unique wants and needs
- motivate you to perform better in areas of your life that you specify.
Coaches are:
- Trained to listen, observe, and customize their approach to your needs
- Always seeking to elicit strategies and solutions from you
- Enhancers of existing client skills, resources and creativity
Therapists, on the other hand, use a variety of communication methods to help improve your relationships or make a positive impact on your mental health.
Note that coaches are NOT mental health professionals; we are a living tool and collaborative partner for motivation, personal growth and accountability.
