Coaching
is the process of equipping individuals with the tools, knowledge, and
opportunities they need to develop themselves and to become more effective.
This implies a combination of self-awareness, self-management and skills
practice.
Professional
and personal coaching services are geared to help individuals
clarify goals, develop strategies to achieve those goals, and provides
support in the pursuit of those goals. This form of coaching is designed
to help you create the professional life and personal lifestyle that
you want, and it may involve career planning and management as well.
Executive
coaching is consultation with an individual within an organization
that can lead to that individual's (1) improved performance and (2)
enhanced psychological development, and to the organization’s
(3) enhanced effectiveness and (4) development of it’s most valuable
resource - its people. Leaders, executives, and managers alike can benefit
from long or short term coaching targeting a number of common issues.
Individualized coaching programs address skill development in the context
of the whole person, including his or her values and sense of larger
meaning in life.
The benefit
of having a psychologist as your coach is the depth of training
and experience your coach has in working with individuals with a variety
of needs and concerns. Sometimes coaching is forward-thinking and success-focused.
Sometimes it involves addressing past and current obstacles, emotional
issues, or difficulties in living that need to be addressed as part
of the process of personal and professional mastery.
The coaching model
draws on the principles and tools of mastery embodied in The
Elements of Power™.
Coaching can help you evolve the perspectives and behaviors to live
consciously and live well - to build personal and professional mastery.
Coaching
services are available individually -- face-to-face or virtually.
