What Is Coaching?
- Coaching is about discovery, awareness, and choice
- Coaching is an effective way in empowering people to find their own answers, encouraging and supporting them on the path as they continue to make important choices
- Coaching is a form of conversation with unspoken ground rules regarding certain qualities that must be present: trust, respect, openness, compassion, empathy, and a rigorous commitment to speaking the truth

Areas of Coaching
We coach on your whole life with a specialization in career coaching. The agenda comes from you (the client), so this can be anything you want to be coached on! Your whole life includes eight key areas:
- On a scale of zero to ten (being ideal), rank your level of satisfaction with each area of life.
- How bumpy would this ride be if this were a real wheel? Where do you want to improve your level of satisfaction?
- Coaching can help you see things from different perspectives and make conscious choices that lead to more fulfillment
Expectations

- You have full responsibility, to make contributions, and exercise authority
- You will take charge of the agenda and direct the coaching where it needs to support you
