An introduction to life coaching

1. What Coaching IS

2. • Coach – “a large kind of carriage”
• Helps you to get from Point A to Point B (faster)
The concept of Coaching comes from the
original word ‘Coach’

3. What Coaching IS
• It’s a powerful conversation between a Coach and a
Client where the Client uses tools like questioning,
listening, intuition, observation and feedback
• The use of these by a Coach helps a Client uncover for
himself/ herself the fastest and the best way to move
forward and deal with their challenges
• The power of coaching can be best experienced
through an actual session. Words cannot describe
adequately how it works.

4. Fundamentally, a Coach helps
the Client in two ways.

5. 1) A Coach
helps a Client
set goals that
will add
significantly
to the Client’s
life
2) To achieve
those goals

6. 1) A Coach
helps a Client
set goals that
will add

to the Client’s
life
2) A Coach
helps the
Client to
achieve those
goals

7. Here are some things a Coach
will provide during a coaching
assignment

8. 1) Access to ideas the Client may already
hold, but is not yet aware of
• By viewing the situation
from a different
perspective, the Coach is
able to lead the Client in an
exploration of ideas that
he/she may not have
previously considered.

9. 2) Clarity around what the Client actually
wants
• Sometimes the Client may not be clear to
himself/herself what he/she wants

10. 3) A sounding board for new ideas
• Providing a safe place to suggest new ideas is an
essential aspect of their current situation, unlocking a
world of new, unexplored potential.

11. 4) Support in big decision making
• Encouragement in walking new paths is essential to
build the courage to continue beyond the safety of
what is known.
• The Coach can help the Client grow and develop their
own individual strategies and solutions.

12. 5) Challenge to expand the thinking process and
make bold new decisions
• Someone daring you to go further than you ever have
before is also an extremely powerful way to break old
habits and forge new boundaries.

13. 6) Direction in times of confusion,
opinion and if necessary, advice.
• Once again, the power of a fresh set of eyes to
interpret a new perspective on a situation is often in
valuable during the coaching process.

14. 7) Brainstorming to flesh out new ideas
• A Client can often get stuck with the same thoughts
and the same ideas. A partner to brainstorm with can
help bring out new ideas.

15. 8) Acknowledgement and validation
• This cannot be stressed enough. The Coach who only
focuses with the Client on what is missing and what
needs to be done, deserves to lose the Client.

statistics from a past ICF Client
